Thanks Ken roughouts are my favorite! there is still some room for error. I'm still not good enough to build a real clean smoothout saddle like most saddlemakers (usually need some stamping to cover up all of my marks)
Thank you Bob, I punch the holes on the binding with my machine before I strech it on. It seems to help.
Howdy CW , I didn't make it to Wickenburg either. I sure wanted to take bob parks class and visit some people, just couldn't pull together the money. My shop isn't much to see but your more than welcome to stop in if you ever make it out this way.
Thank you JW, hope your doing good and keepin busy.
