    Hey all, my father in law had a hide tucked away in his garage (for what reason I have no idea) Anyways, he gave it to me told me to make a pair of chinks or something. I took the hide home and when I looked it over I started to second guess if the leather was heavy enough to make chink chaps out of. The leather is probably 2-3oz. Now I wonder if its a good idea to double the leather up to make the chaps. Has anyone every done this?

    First off: B-E-A-U tiful! I can only hope to one day do work like that!

    I have been lurking around here trying to pick up on what I can. Call it researching....kinda.....however I have one question now: What doe 8 button seat mean? I have never built a saddle just tinkered with leather with a dream to one day build one. Sorry to hi-jack your thread.

    Hey fellas, I have a good friend that is hosting a team roping. It his first event and unfortunately I am un able to make it due to prior comittments (the things ya have to do to stay married) Anyways I thought I would donate a breat collar as a prize in my absence since they would have gotten a donation from me in the form of an entry fee). My delima is which to make? A roper breast collar or a tripping breast collar? I like the idea of having more area on a tripping collar to be creative (to be donated as a trophy) I love the look of a Tripping breast collar but to tell you the truth I dont know if there is any performance draw backs to a tripping breast collar. Your opinion fellas?

    Thanks, I do appreciate all input. I have decided that I will be ordering this "kit" I am thinking that it will be a great oportunity to learn a little about saddle construction. Unfortunately I can see that it will probably be a slow process, I doubt I will have much time for it untill winter. Regardless I am sure I will be checking in from time to time to ask a few questions and keep you up to date on my progress....thanks again folks!

    Hey all I am new to the forum, and relatively new to leather work. I have some experience making belts, wallets, bridles, breastcollars and chaps. It has been a few years since I worked with leather but recently have taken an intrest in saddles. My question is: Has anyone here had any dealing with JJ Maxwell and their saddle kit? What is the quality of the materials like?
