  1. Got it yesterday, thanks very much! Now I am looking for the compressor. Whew, you really have to have a big one to get the air it needs. What did you end up buying?
  2. Hey, I just got one as well. If you have any words of advise please share. I am also looking for a bench to mount it on. If you have found something that works please let me know,
  3. Do you still have this? If so, please call me at 512-759-1617
  4. Have you sold this yet? if not please call 512-759-1617
  5. Any idea what shipping to 78634- Texas would be?
  6. Do you still have this? if so, please call me at 512-922-3007.
  7. Do you still have any of the leather splitters? I am looking for a crank 8 inch splitter and a cast iron tippmann boss (or any machine that will sew saddle skirting). I live just north of Austin so I can drive down to your shop. email me at gay.crocker@ppdi.com or call me at 512-922-3007.
  8. I am looking for an old cast iron Tippmann to sew my saddle skirting. If anyone has one in working condition please contact me at 512-922-3007.
  9. Could you post this picture again? I am trying to build a drawdown stand from a hydrolic barber chair and I need to figure how to mount the saddle on it.
  10. I think I can do the tilting stand thing. I bought the hydraulic stand for 20 bucks, and found a pivoting, tilting table that I can canabalize to get the joints to build the articulating part of the stand. I should adjust up to 20+ inches, rotate, and tilt. I just got the first saddle tree I want to work on today so I hope they send the parts for the stand quickly! I am starting with a mexican saddle tree. I ordered it from mexico with mule bars. It seems to fit my mule pretty good. I just cant wait to get started! Course its nothing like the video I bought on saddle construction so I am going to be flying blind! Wish me luck and thanks again for all of your advise. I will post pics of the stand when I get it built.
  11. I looked at those hydraulic stands online and they look great! I can see how having an adjustable height is advantageous. I just cant justify spending that much money without knowing if I am capable of actually building a saddle. I did find a hydraulic chair base on ebay for 20 bucks. I think I'm going to try and make my own stand with that. Do you use the tilt feature very much? Would you go to the trouble to try to add that or just go with a plain stand?
