Hi all! Now is the time for everyone help me spend some money (ok,ok, I know a book isn't much money). My b-day is right aroubd the corner and I think I want a book on saddlemaking. (I know a book isn't much of a present, but I just bought a tractor too) So this is where you all come in! I am interested in saddlemaking and have done a few small tooling projects, so I am a BEGINNER. I know of a few: Al Stohlman's, Dusty Johnson, Harry Adams Jr's book. Please comment on these and any other that you think would be worthwhile for a beginner. Thanks for all your help! Jeff

Each of these have merit, an…

I have built a few pack saddles in the past and want to build one for the upcoming season, but I need to find plans somewhere if anyone knows. I am building sawbuck style. I thought about buying one but what is the fun in that? Any help would be great. Travis

I talked to Bill Gomer today about his Saddlemaking DVDs, he is in the process of getting them duplicated and should have them around the middle of April. When I talk to him again I will find out how to order them, his website is of no help.
