Sweet shoes Electrathon!! I work on two pairs of boots at present-for man and his 6yrs old son. Hope all will be rady because kids lasts are different parameters than adult sizes and i haven´t experiences with child boot size and patterns. Off course- i must make quickly, boy is bigger and bigger every day

Great!!!! Likely we have masters like is Dale Moore in your country. GOOD LUCK!!! Martin

Hi all Thank you for your infos After long time i saw this saddle again. On cantle is oval brand"VISALIA STOCK SADDLE Co. SAN FRANCISCO CA. with number 6970 in center of brand Have anybody some next infos about age of this saddle? Thanks Martin

Thanks for new infos. I think, this tool isn´t oldest than 40-50 years of 20 century. Original dial glass was plastic Tank you again Martin

Thanks TXAG ...nobody know this brand? Martin

Hi I recently acquired this tool. Next beautiful piece to my old tool collection. Was used in the tannery on the thick measurement of rawhide. Wet environments are much toll on his poor condition. I do not know who the manufacturer is, maybe someone knows the brand D.R.G.M. I guess it is brand from some german language coutry I renovated the entire instrument and now serves well on measurements tanned leather even after all this time exactly Martin

Thanks J. Was very long way for me during bootmaking learning. But now i am satisfied with my work more and more everyday. Go to learning!!! Martin

Howdy Here is my last "bootwork" in this year. Heavy deep oiled leather, and working sole. Martin

EXCELENT WORK!!!!!!!!

Hi all Here is my last knife project with etching blade, and......................."mexican loop style" steath. Concho on steath is very old antique piece from old mexican saddle Martin

22 in. length body quivers .......... it is sufficient size. I use this size for all of your quiver Martin http://forarchers.eu/

You do not know someone retailer of exotic leather in Europe? Top Germany or Austria ... but you also in other European countries. I use mostly the skin of ostrich, shark or crocodile for my new bootmaking projects. Thank you for the tips Martin

Hi all Just finished. Size 20"x20" , front animals are embossed for better 3D effect

After long time next boot work ....and my new brand inside

AMAZING design!!!

If I can add my experience from the other side of the ocean. I understand the big skirts and I like them-but not in women .... For us in Europe are short saddle skirts are very popular. The saddle is smaller, compact and lightweight. And it is for hobby riders comfortable. In Europe, they are not real cowboys, and therefore the opinion hobby riders for the manufacturer of saddles important. In addition, we have a slightly different type of horse-small, short, short and broad back. Such horses have a coat worn by long skirts and riders do not like it. This year I built a saddle for Leather World debut in Sheridan and the jury agreed that the skirts are short. Nevertheless, this type of skirt popular in Europe .... and finally I was on the 2 spot. So I think that short skirts are beautiful, but not too bad Martin

WOOOW!! Looks good! Nice tooling Martin

Hi all Next saddle after long time ASSN 14" wide fork 92 deg QH bars Inlayd 15 1/2" seat, 5x13" cantle 7/8 in skirt rig Full geometric tooling-second place on LEATHER WORLD DEBUT show in Sheridan Wyoming this year

Hi I agree, this is pretty saddle design, love it too...... I think this can be assocciation 14"wide fork, with 5"cantle...but it is only my theory Contact some treemakers for infos Martin

Great job! Hope your work will continue Martin

Hi all New 3D contest season is here. Here are few new HIP quivers for me and my friends with our favorite "camo" design

Hi all My friend gave me this saddle. He got it from his friends from the U.S. Saddle was found somewhere in Texas and we have no other information on its origin On the saddle there are not any marks or brands ,only the brass buttons on sides of fork are silhouettes of saddle. Like, if anyone has any information about this wonderful piece of history Thanks Martin

YEAH.Looks GOOD Martin

There is nothing to thank. Marks on my tools also do not know. Tassel brand is still on another old tool - round knife , rein rounder and oval puncher. Therefore I think that it was a manufacturer with great production. Another brand-Horseshoe with star-is only on this tool. I asked my colleague from the University of Tomas Bata. He is an expert on the history of saddlery and leather work and waiting for an answer. Martin

Hi all I have two several tools-we say strap cutters. one 10 and next is 15cm. One is equipped with "table adapter" and wedge but this adapter is suitable for both tools even from different producers I think that i know wedge purpose. My english isn´t good, so i hope my pics provide more iformations Martin
