While at training camp I got a new saddle. It's a whole story in and of itself.
I decided that rather than waste a good SLR (parts of mine were still OK) I'd refurbish it and breathe some new life into it.
Step #1.
I stripped the saddle down to it's shell.
Step #2.
I haggled with a street vender and picked up this faux Louis Vuitton purse for $20.
Step #3.
I delicately un-made the purse leaving a side panel intact.
Step #4.
Using spray on adhesive I attached the "leather" to the shell of the saddle.
Step #5.
I cut around the shell, and epoxied the new "leather" to saddle all the way around the shell.
Now all that's left is to find a rap video that I can feature it in.
