Finally getting some time to work on this second saddle again...New shop is set-up and I have been able to put in some time.
Built these hobbles:
Tooled this fender:
And finished tooling the skirts for this rig as well as got the horn cap 'n' wrap started:
We have been doing a fair bit of riding - Built this breast collar for my first saddle too:
Really hoping to have this second saddle done for spring!
Cheers,

Of course playing with Cheap Fut Coins is also a shortcut for you!
He said they have cancer is something that completely changes your life. This is especially true of Pirmin Schwegler and the message reaches its particularly harsh relatives - because young Pirmin was only 16 months old when diagnosed with leukemia.
"I'm too young to beat the disease, so do not really understand at the time," he said in an exclusive interview. A long and arduous struggle ahead for the child and family, but it w

SO excited and happy to get riding it and roping agian. If you are looking for a good quality saddle please visit these guys. Thank you.
Johnboy Richter here, I am new and would like to ask if anyone has any experience with the many diferent sizes of needles for the Singer 7-33.

( I work off shore ) I looked all over the internet tryng to find cross reference charts and or specific needles for sale and could not make any sense of it.

Well, the last orders are out the door, the shop is closed and I'm packed up to make the trip to Atlanta to spend the holidays with my grand children. Had a good year, got lots of tips from folks here on Leatherworker.net, my wife and I are retired and just "Living the Dream". Gonna go play some music, have some good times, and then get back in the shop and start getting stuff made up for some music festivals this spring followed by my annual trip to Resogat in Wilkesboro, NC. to sell instrumen

Hello All,
I'm new to this forum, and would like to seek some help/guidance from other Adler 205-370.
Earlier this year, I purchased one of the last new 205-370 available from Michel Simard in Montreal. From the very beginning, I've had issues with the stitch-length, or should I say the symmetry of the stitch-length in forward vs reverse. I was told it was normal that the machine would not back-stitch in its holes, when adjusting the rotating knob on the lever. To ensure same stitch-length i

Do you have an idea which would be preferable to purchase? I am interested in making leather goods such as chaps, bags, etc.
Thank you for your time
Scissors were originally created using metal connected with springs, and modern day scissors did not make their debut into mass production until the 1760s. By the 1800s, hand-carved scissors were popular in Europe. Scissors are now easily produced and commonly found in most households. As modern technology grows, so do our everyday tools. Now cordless electrical scissors have provided an innovative new technique for an old idea.
Cordless scissors come in a sleeker design than regular scissors a

I have basic skills in sewing but would like to purchase a quality walking foot sewing machine to do leather, neoprene, auto, boat, furniture upholstery for home use. Price would be least than $1000 I hope. What recommendations do you have?
Ok, I've been looking for a good skiving machine for a long time. I finally found one, but now I need to get a table and motor for it.
Please do not tell me to contact campbell-randall. That's just not going to happen. I don't feel like getting into a long, drawn out discussion about it, so I will not do so here.
I have read on here that people have used two separate motors for these machines...one to run the knife at one speed of their choice.....and the other motor to run the feed mechanism
As all can tell I have not been posting lately as I have been really busy - Haven't even had time to work on rig #2...
Anyhow, I moved back to Saskatchewan and am setting up a new saddle shop in our place here.
It's almost done. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it wrapped up.
We have been doing lots of riding and have had a chance to go to quite a few brandings as well as pasture rope.
It'd been nice to really use the first saddle I built - It seems to work prett
