Go2Tex Report post Posted November 20, 2011 I saw this saddle on Ebay and was kinda blown away by it. I can't imagine how they did it, unless the swell piece is actually several pieces nailed on separately. The horn looks to be simply plated and engraved. Any silver experts care to comment? Just curious, as I have no intention of trying any of this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newfman Report post Posted November 20, 2011 Pretty amazing. Should be interesting to see how much it finally goes for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted November 20, 2011 I am only guessing here, but; having been a tinsmith back in the service, and looking at the available pics, I would guess that that seam that runs down the center of the fork from side to side is actually a joint that is fitted and tapped into place once the front half and back half fit the fork, something like the seam on duct-work for your furnace. Again, this is only a guess. I am sure that Keith or one of the guys that worked in some of old shops can shed some light on it. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
