1 - 1/4" Chicago Screw Post - You can find them pretty cheap on amazon just search Chicago Screw 1/4"
Instruction
Step1: Select your material
I chose a piece of veg-tan leather, but you can use leatherette and skip all the prep. If using colored material you can skip to Step 4.
4" x 4" piece should work.
If using veg-tan I recommend giving a coat of neatsfoots oil
Step2: Cut
Now just place your piece in your machine and let it cut.
Step3: Wet Forming
Now that we have out pieces cut out, lets give them a quick wipe with some water, water will soften veg-tan leather and you can shape it. Let's fold up the pedals and give them some shape.
Step4: Paint / Color
Now you will need to choose your color. I use a acrylic paint with a air brush.
Step5: Chicago Screw
Now take your Chicago screw and measure the post. If your post is bigger or smaller than mine, write down your size.
Step6: Hat Hole
Now using the 4mm hole size I made a 4mm circle on my F1 and used it to cut out a hole.
My settings for cutting the hole was 100 power / 5 Speed / 2 Passes
Step7: Stack your pedals
Now just stack your pedals and push your chicago post through your leather pedals. Use the screw to screw in from the bottom of the hat.
Step8: Wear it!
Now you are done. Don't you look good!
