Hi We are saddlemakers in Austria, Europe and we are looking for a toolmakers, leathersuppliers, silversmiths and teaches ) in the USA. My husband is the saddlemaker but me and your employee do all the tooling and so we three decided to make a trip to the states in 2010. One of the most interesting things for us is a leather trade show, where we can see and try the items of our suppliers. As we don’t know all the leather trade shows, it would be very helpful for us if you could recommend us one…. Is it correct that the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade show is the biggest one? Have you heard from a show in elko, nevada, at Trina Weber’s ? Or is there simply another really big show, which you would recommend us? We would be very grateful for your advice…. Best regards Michi Mayrhofer

Hi I asked this about a year ago, but i didn't explain good enough what I mean. Now I have the necessary pictures to make clear what i am looking for. We use clips with dees on our saddles to enable customers to attach strings to the saddle when they go to a trailride. As my husband (saddlemaker) wants to use the long version in size 5/8 (! not 3/4!!!) we are not glad with she short verison in ss. Picture shortClipss.jpg shows the one in ss which is too short longClipNickel.jpg is a great shape, but it is not ss, but nickel. We do know, that this long clip in ss exists, because we saw it on a saddle. So anyone on this world does produce this item. Does anybody out there know, where we can buy this item? Clip with dee, 5/8", long version, in ss...... My husband is asking me for this item every second day, so if I want to become glad again --- I's better find this item... Thanks a lot michi

Thanks a lot for your reply. Is it correct that he doesn't have a website? As we are from Austria, it is not so easy for me, to go there and talk to him what I want..... Or do you know any other supplier who could deliver real nice saddlehardware? Perhaps someone who has a website to order from? michi

Wow, that belt is really nice! May I ask you how you did the coloring? If I did such a belt I would use 1.)Antique finish 2.) black acrylic lacquer for the backgrounds with a really fine brush 3.) any kind of acrylic finish to fix the antique. But this way dures pretty long. Is there any better way? michi

Does anyone know where we could by such dees with clips in stainless steel. Weaver offers it in nickle plated but that begins to rust.... The clip ist 1-1/2" long and the dee is 5/8" wide michi

My husband and be, we are saddlemakers in Austria, Europe. We found this page today and we really like it as there are no other saddlemakers in Austria.... I attached some pictures of saddles and so on to show you what we make.... have a very very nice day michi

Hi I want to thank you very much for your help. We already ordered the horns at bowden. I wonder if I will get them, because spelling our name was pretty complicated Very nice forum, ... I'll be back michi

hi I think I remember, that weaverleather offers such things. Producing the dies as well as clickering them. michi

hi My name is Michaela (michi) and I just registered to this page. Toni, my husband, and me, we are saddlemakers in Austria, Europe. I was very glad to find this website, because we are the only saddlemakers in our country and therefore there are no other people to talk about our profession.... The reason why I searched the web today was the following: We are looking for a supplier for steel saddle horns for a ropingsaddle. We build our saddletrees ourself and roping is not yet very popular in Austria. As a customer ordered a roping saddle now, we need to find such a horn. Can anybody help me? michi
