BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted October 10, 2015 D, all you have to do is do it once yourself and you will see why. I don't belong to the ASMA, however; @ $150 for materials (sheep skin, glue, thread needles ect.), $50 fixed overhead (Electricity, Lights, rent of space, Heat/cooling of space,use of tools and equipment ect.) and @ $50/hr for labor pretty much says it all. By the way, it takes experience to do a good job in 4 hrs. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Ashman Report post Posted October 12, 2015 My 2 cents is that with a good pad there is usually no reason to replace the sheepskin on a using saddle. If you think you have a classic or collectible saddle I'd skip it as well since any alterations will likely reduce the value. But, that's just me. Good luck whichever way you go with it.
