Ecosse, I will let Mia know she is famous. She found the best seat in the house.

Troppo, I like the progression of your seat, the use of the original pan as a mold and how it is turning out.

Here's a nice way to build a cafe seat. This is one of the project Twinline in Seattle is currently working on:

Here's Isaac cutting the tank in half to create the seat. Oooooh, sparks.
It's all prepped for a powder coat, which is a thermal painting process that cooks paint to the metal so you can't knock it off. This will we a pretty simple powder coat, so we'll get into technicalities when we do a more difficult one.
Here's what it looks like when they actually put it together.
"It's the kind of bike that doesn't put the wheel down until you hit fifth gear," Ian said.
