You should always start with the lighter shade of dye first - remember you can always make it darker but not the other way around

Have you tried Tandy's leathercraft library? https://tandyleather.com/blogs/leathercraft-library

Hi! I got the pattern in PDF. I spoke with a moderator and he thinks it's ok to share with you all, since not long time ago Tandy was sharing it for free in their archives. tandy-half-pint-mini saddle.pdf Sandra

You can also find some here, either digital or paper https://www.facebook.com/groups/167812935350676/ Contact Price Reynolds on facebook

Hi @Northmount, I got all the patterns saved in my PC; if you wish I can send them to you and you post them!

Just a question and I'm sorry it it sound dumb! Did you buy antique paste or the new gel Antique by Fiebieng's ? That would explain the liquid consistency

It depends on the casing method If you use the method of submerging the leather in water and then put it in a ziplock bag in the fridge it's better to do it before taping. Otherwise I do it after Yes, it's really a great tip!

Hi For me the best tip on the subject is this video from Ed LaBarre

Hi D2G, I've made a similar one about 2 years ago, and I followed the instructions of Andersen leather. You should check his blog (look for the older posts, he's got a step-by-step) http://andersenleather.blogspot.com
