Ian Report post Posted May 29, 2009 I was digging through boxes in the attic and amidst all the junk, I found this - one of the first things I ever made, 18 years ago - a surcingle for a draft horse. Pretty rough, but I have to say, I had some patience in those days. That's 2 layers of 12oz harness leather sewn by hand (of course). And all those spots set with an awl and a screwdriver to fold the prongs over. In those days, my tools consisted of an awl, needles, a utility knife, an edger and a hole punch. Still remember how excited I was to get that first side of leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted May 29, 2009 Isn't it nice to get these little graphic reminders of how far we've come? Although I have to say, that looks like pretty decent work to me. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
