I am not sure if I will get this post in the proper spot...but I notice that some of you are questioning DVD's their content....I can only answer for one... The Dale Harwood DVD is available now for purchase at $399.95 and includes shipping and handling. You can pay by Check, Money order or Visa/MC. Technically....the DVD is a two part set over 4 hours long, where Dale starts with a tree (it ready for the leather) and goes from there, start to finish on building a rough out wade tree saddle.....Now right away a few of you are going...wade tree....easy to build....but what is interesting is it doesn't matter the 'type' of saddle Dale builds...what I feel is important to learn is how and why he does things the way he does. I noticed on other posts, about drilling saddle string holes or wrapping horns...Dale does a great job explaining how and why he puts his ground seat in, stitching the horn cap, the cheyenne roll, the drilling of saddle strings, applying the sheep skin for the skirts -- it's all there....you may need to watch it a few times or more...but all his 'secrets' are in the DVD.... With over 50 years experience and over 1500 saddles....it's not WHAT he does it THE WAY he does it that produces a saddle that is efficient to build, exceptionally well put together and created with such quality and particularness(if that's a word) that anyone can benefit from the DVD's if your mind is open to learning and or refining what you already have in your "tool box" of knowledge. Along with the actual building of the saddle, one gets to hear history and entertainment on what Dale has experienced over the years. The production and clarity of the DVD is great! So.... I hope I have answered some of the questions posted....if you would like to order them the number to call is 800-349-7078 or you can email ( i found that easiest) trc@wildblue.net!
