Ok so this is the 3rd pair of cuffs I made. These are for my Dad. And if you're wondering- yes he wears them every day while working horses & working at the barn -

The smell of leather, a strong cup of black coffee, a cabinet full of tools, & a mind full of ideas... what a morning!

Welcome, Shaun to a great community

Hi Jenny from Kansas, USA. Welcome aboard. I myself am pretty new on here & love it. So much information to be shared! I'm sure you'll find answers to any/all questions you may have. Also don't be shy to add your "2 cents". Looking forward to seeing your work Andy

Thank you. I agree about the string catching though I've had little trouble with this- maybe because of spool placement? I do like the idea of support for a larger item as you mentioned. I just figured I would use my workbench if needed extra support lol. If I would've waited a few weeks my neighbors threw out a couple of still nice dining chairs, which may well have changed my whole design... But I do love my horse- it works great & made it myself so I'm quite happy! Wonder how'd I stitch without it?! Am looking forward to seeing yours as well. Thanks for the compliment & thanks for looking -
Ol' Waylon (Jennings) would be proud to own this one too!... Beautiful work!

Love this design! Simple yet 100% effective. Wish I'd saw this before I made mine.

I have stitched everything without a stitchin horse up until recently. Now that I have one (made it myself) I don't know why I didn't do that 1st! So convenient...and no more charlie horse in my leg! P.S. I do punch holes ahead of time but with the horse it doesnt matter

If these saddles could talk, right?... I would be a captive audience for sure! -

From the album: my old saddles
This saddle was a great find. I bought it out of a gentleman's garage for $40. Took it home & tore it down to the tree. Cleaned & oiled it, restrung it & put JW conchos on it. The stirrup fenders are patched & it has a couple torn places on the rear jockeys but this is one of if not the most comfortable saddles I've ever ridden in- an all day saddle for sure! It has 10" pommel, a 3"x3" gullet, 5" cantle with 1" lip, 14 1/2" seat, 3" high horn. The tooling was made using geometric stamp. No name or # on this saddle either -
I'm glad you enjoyed it. A wonderful old saddle- well made & alot of life left. I will post another of mine soon, be sure to check it out as well.

Undercut swells, 5 1/2" cantle, 15" seat. Of course stirrups aren't original to saddle but was purchased for using. A great sitting old saddle with a decent gullet (not too narrow). Haven't found a maker or number on it but haven't taken it down to the tree yet either, as it was purchased in great using condition -
Nice work! Glad to see you get some pics on here! -
Very nice job! Mine is of plywood scraps given to me by my cabinet-maker friend- it cost about the same but nowhere near as ingenious as yours! A beautiful piece of work.
