rktaylor Posted August 30, 2024 Report Posted August 30, 2024 Dwight, I'm a little late to the game, but this is my pattern. The holes match the strings on saddles I build. That curve should fit a lot of saddles. You can leave the front ear off if you want. I use it to attach the bags. The saddle bags in the photo are really heavy leather. They were my first attempt. Best, Randy Quote

I'm going to my Tandy store probably in a couple of weeks . . . will be buying probably a side . . . and am leaning a lot more toward making a really pretty pair . . . all stamped and such . . . Next problem will be finding "THE" pattern I want to use on them . . . I like flowers n such . . . but it is a bit overdone sometimes . . . not sure where I'll go with it . . . just gonna look. But your set has the general "look" of what I want. One thing I will do for sure though is make the center connector piece just one cut of leather. Will be more expensive that way . . . but it'll achieve a lot of the look I want. Thanks again, may God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

I'll resend the other two in different PMs Expand The download said "saddlebag pattern pack" . . . and was 921 kb in size. That was the generic Tandy one . . . just showing a typical bland saddle bag building. It wouldn't tell me anything more. The second one . . . 15mb size . . . had all the designs / flowers etc . . . I got out my bully club and made it down load . . . The third one . . .11mb size . . . said it originated from off leatherworker here . . . and either the info was moved . . . or one of us did not have permission to view it . . . I'm good with the other two I think . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Thanks fredk . . . it's gonna be a while . . . but I'll pop the results in a couple months. I actually have an M14 rifle I have to build first . . . And right after breakfast today . . . gotta put on my all white robbing suit . . . lift the lid on my beehive . . . rob the ladies of about 25% of the work they did this summer. That and getting it all in the jars and on the shelf . . . shoots a cannon ball sized hole in my Monday. Stinking goldenrod usually doesn't hit full bloom here until the 10th or 12th or so. It's there today . . . it'll ruin the honey if I don't get it now. My wife has some chipping and painting she has laid out for me . . . have slid around it all summer . . . am about to get nailed I think.
