I wanted to add a little flair to the Bandito. After some searching, I found this Native Southwestern looking hand towel on Amazon. I will def tone it down with some patina sauce to get closer to the aging on the frame and parts.
After a few ideas,I settled on the rigid wood tank shape, and I will decoupage the fabric onto it. Fun little project for our last days before we move to Frito Drive.
2 x 4 from Home Depot. Traced the outline of the tank from the inside of the top tube and straight bar.
Sanded the surfaces and rounded off the edges. Then a trial fit in the frame.
More to come tomorrow.
