Ok well,..after setting the stirrups,..everything laid up nice and in place,....I didnt attach in any way,..but they stay up against the fender anyhow. Thanks

I sorta saw this in a previous saddle,...not bad,..but bad enough to make me pop a copper rivet from the stirrup leather to the fender to calm it down. Whats wrong with putting a rivet in there? Or cementing? Or a lace or two( maybe with a bleed knot concho,....on this saddle it would be ok,.....but I coulod see problems when I wanted a clean/ clear fender,..plain,..etcYea my lengths are all good,.....thats not my concern,...its just the stirrup leather coming away from the fender that worries me,..and how to address that. When you say trun away,..you mean bend backwards? Should I maybe wet it,..or oil it for this?

Well, these are laced,...but I was just concerned about how the stirrup leathers might seperate,..or pull away from the fender......but I guess its really a moot point once everything is hanging down, and assembled,....maybe I'm overthinking it,...Thanks.

I am going to prestretch the stirrup leathers,...but I'm wondering how attaching these two pieces would affect stretch over time? Dunno? Stohlman on mentions glueing the bottom 6" of the fold,.....I planned to stitch all the way up the leg to the fender being the fender has a stitched edge,.....so why not glue too???

Hey guys, I couldn't really find the answer in the Stohlman Encyclopedia when I looked for it,... Where the Stirrup leathers cross the backside of the fenders,....should I glue that full length? Or glue and sew just the bottom portion where the fold occurs,.....It's rivetted at the top,..,..but between the top,..and the bottom of the fender,..should I leave the fender and stirrup leather unattached,...or cement them together? Book seem to be unclear on this???? This is only my third saddle,,...and I think I glued them on the other two,....but wonder if I was screwing up on that??

and you cant get a shine with atom wax???????

Thanks,..I sorta had a major screw up,.my daughter and grand-daughter were in the shop ,..and I cut the seat too short,...it was going to have a cheyenne roll,...but not anymore,...itll just be a regular cantle binding,..lol

well,..theres actually some mock up parts on there,..that front is going to be a cinch holder and the back is gonna have a latigo holder,... my daughter ( not the grand) attemted making a latigo holder but cut it too narrow,..lol,...so I put it on there for now anyways.....lol

I had not yet braided the rear jocks yet in this pic...not to mention the lack of cantle binding lol,....its still in progress,...just posting some pics as it goes. got a few things done today , but hand my grand daughter in the shop lol,...so not much progress

How do you get that edge like that?!!? on the skirt,....and everywhere,.....it looks like a welt bead,....how the hell did you do that?

I need a 16" wade...or a trail tree ,..rawhide preferably,..anybody sittin on one they want to part with?

It might not be how everyone does it, it may not be the right way,..but this is how I do it,..and the information on where I learned. Thats some jockeys I just did,.... I learned from this book from my local library. and here's the tutorial... Its called a " One-Thong Type "S" applique and its on page 157 of the book. I realize the ones I did in the pic or off a little,...I did them quick for the purpose of this post,..I'll likely rework them a bit and clean them up.

I can get anything like glass with Atom wax,..followed by Super Sheen spray.

Yea we've finally reached an understanding lmao...... I do find it takes a certain amount of finesse.....lol,..can't "gorilla" it into doing what you want,...
