Equipe saddle, repair of worn saddle flap
jrdunn replied to Mulesaw's topic in Saddle Identification, Restoration & Repair
Great work Jonas! I have one more possibility, although it probably doesn't matter. I was wondering if the previous owner may have needed the assistance of a right leg brace. This from a guy who wore one for a while. I didn't ride a horse with one though. While I agree it would be confusing to a "well trained horse", some of those therapy horses seem to sift through indications to find intent. As usual, JM2C. Jim -
Would you by chance have a link to a place that sells Schneider's Veg-Tan? Thanks in advance. Jim

This is kinda what I use. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Self-Adhering-1-Elastic-Bandages-2-Count/804779067?classType=VARIANT&athbdg=L1102&from=/search I actually use vet wrap which is used for horses and 4 inches wide. I just cut one inch strips of it. Same stuff. JM2C, Jim

Just throwing something against the wall. . . Did you possibly raise the presser foot with the needle up while going around the curve? Maybe that released the top tension. JM2C, Jim

Lori, To make a true 1:1:2 ratio you will need to use "fluid ounces". I assume you need to melt the beeswax and cocoa butter before measuring. Whether you are using volume or weight, you need all ingredients in the same format. It could be converted to volume if you knew the specific gravity of the ingredients. Maybe weigh the pint of olive oil? JM2C, Jim

This may be a foolish question, but why???

Hey, if you ain't bleedin', you ain't tryin'. Nice work.

Here is another that might help. -
I suppose it's better than licking the windows??

It seems to me that the internet is full of "experts" on nearly every subject these days. JM2C, Jim

People are WAY harder to deal with than leather! JM2C, Jim -
Sorry. "Proving it" is beyond the scope of my participation here. I can see from the picture that the one at TISM appears to have a bearing. I'll include a link to Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines and verify that Bob Kovar has not lied to me. Bad news is that he is in the U.S. Call him. JM2C, Jim https://www.tolindsewmach.com/motors.html

Hey Rodney! I have never been a bareback rider but have contributed to a few pots, though. I really don't think that your riggin' would be a good place to skimp or DIY. I think it would be a cool project. I really wish you the best! JM2C, Jim

That might be because "Joe Kidd" was set in the early 1900's. JM2C, Jim

Me too. Only about 45 years.

Sorry for my part. I had my jackass pants on that day. Jim

Nice work! Dang how much training till you make journeyman mucker???? Is there a chance of advancement to fecal relocation specialist? You've got me thinking about a new career path.

I agree. Attractive, not too complicated. It looks to me like the laced area is raise a little. Like maybe another thickness of leather in the "trident" or horseshoe with a line up the middle including the area with the closure strap. This would also aid in preventing the lacing from distorting the piece. JM2C, Jim

Ryan Neel and Neel Saddlery- a review you need to read
jrdunn replied to HideDesigns's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Agreed! It is heartening to find this level of service and commitment. JM2C, Jim -
I think it is primarily for cooling.

Sorry. I was quoting a line out of "Have a Cigar".

By the way, which one's Pink?

Welt in a pancake style knife sheath?
jrdunn replied to AEBL's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
The guys that I have made them for like about an inch or so of the handles(scales) in the sheath for better retention. Most of these guys are "cowboys" of one form or another. The rest of their lives are a bit rough and tumble. This helps the knife to still be there when they need it. JM2C, Jim -
A bit off topic: I just wonder what your neighbors thought your were up to peeking in your window?? Cool old machine! Wish I had one. Jim

This is one "heathen" that appreciates the gesture. Thanks
