The bottom of the sugar skull seat..

So happy with how this turned out. Even made one for my senior apprentice. His is a bit tight but he loves it so I'd say I did a good job. Now to go to bed and get ready for another long day tomorrow.

Today was the day that I was supposed to start working in the shop with the boys as the official junior apprentice. My senior apprentice called out sick cause he has a throat thing and his stomach wasn't feeling too good. On top of that the owner has a dr appointment at 11. I can only be there from 9-12 because of my actual job. Therefore I was messaged and told to just not come in on the first day that marks my apprenticeship. Fun times.

Leather Craft - No Virgin by Marius Mellebye Via Flickr: This was one of the first real leather seats I made with a motive.. I kept it for many years, and brought it to many shows and it gave me many jobs, but now, unfortanly it´s sold! Well, it´s better that someone can use it.. and it will be for a Honda bobber build. As I now closed my garage, a few months earlier than planned, it´s a good way to start over again, but next time I´ll open a garage, it will be in Sitges, Spain.. close to Barcelona! It will be a challenge, as I know a lot of people in the Norwegian biker community, and a lot of them know who I am (or at least who 276ccm are) but in Spain, I´m just another stranger.. so it´s a little scary and a big challenge.. If you know any places, clubs or communities in Spain I should "promote" my work, feel free to let me know :-)
