Hi there! I'm new and in the process of getting my saddle fitting certification.

I'm mostly interested in tools and saddle flocking techniques, but minor repairs too.

I'm currently having trouble finding curved flocking irons and a masher or smasher if anyone has any links I would appreciate it. I ordered one from Dixon, but apparently they stopped producing the metal mashers. I've tried the Cumbria School for curved irons but I have not heard back.

For a smasher, a solid doorknob (I use a brass one) sometimes fits the bill.

It is worth trying David at the Cumbria School of Saddlery again as the flocking irons he does are excellent.
