Boy Steve that is really excellent work! ArtS

I like that boarder! I'll have to try that. Thanks, ArtS

Awesome! I really like the shaping and the coloring. The gold on that one really looks good. ArtS

Thanks John! ArtS

Looks cool! Great job. ArtS

Very informative thread! Thank you all very much. Art

Thanks. Thats not what I expected. ArtS

Looks like you've taken good care of it. You did a good job! It looks like it would really hold you in the seat. ArtS

Man, I could never do that! Thanks for the instructions. I have an even greater appreciation for braiding now. ArtS

Wow, wow, wow! beautiful saddle and neat story to go with it. That makes it even more special. ArtS

Cool. Where did you get it? ArtS

That is wicked looking! Cool design and practical. ArtS

That is a great design. I also really like that cameo. Is the white at the top just a reflection? ArtS

Improve on? Wow, there isn't anything to improve on. Great design. ArtS

Great stuff! I like the horse too. ArtS

Awesome - absolutely awesome. You have been busy lately! I like everything you post! It's inspiring. It makes me want to go down to the workshop and get creative. ArtS

As I'm only on my second saddle I have no structure advice but it looks great! ArtS

Thank you for all the hard work to restore the site! I really appreciate it. ArtS

Since I'm still learning I always love to have my problems pointed out to me. My goal it to improve and thats one reason I'm here. I also get great ideas and learn a lot by seeing other's work here. When I do see what appear to be errors and places to improve to be honest I usually don't say anything. I feel that since I'm still learning I'll let the really good folks respond. That may not be the best way but I'm timid in that respect. But to all those that have helped me THANK YOU SO MUCH! Please keep criticizing and giving me advice. This site has really opened up my eyes to so many different types of leather work. ArtS

They're still working on the site and more info will be coming. What is there is all I know about so far. ArtS

I always can use another friend! Belgian! We'd need two hides to make one for him! LOL Thanks. I own an Artisan 3000 and I love it. I used Wicket & Craig 2 1/2 oz leather but remember that doubled on most parts. Art

I made a halter bridle for a birthday gift for my friend. Dang it, I forgot to take a picture of it until it was wrapped. So I took a couple of quick shots of it at their house after he opened it. Sorry for the quality of the pictures. It looks better then it does in the pictures. When I saw Pella's dressage bridle I got the idea for the raised nose band and brow band. Thanks Pella. It's not near as good as hers though but my first try at it. I really like the way it looks. He loved it. ArtS

Looks great. I want to make one of these and a saddle lamp. I'm too busy making things for other people to make something for myself that would be fun to do. I was glad to get my knife sheath in. LOL You really did do a good job on it. ArtS

They will also be selling tools there. ArtS

That is awesome! Cooooool ArtS
