Members countyholster Posted March 23, 2014 Members Report Posted March 23, 2014 Hi mudslinger, I hope you can get dialed in on saddle making. I hear it is tough work, but very rewarding. Those things can go for thousands of dollars. The learning curve is steep and frustration quite deep, but once you have it, you are top of the pile. Good luck! John Quote
Members mudslinger Posted March 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 23, 2014 Im from north texas near the dallas area in a tiny town called ponder, tx. originally from laredo, tx hope to one day get real good at leather work. Quote
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted March 24, 2014 Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 Hey John Schnase, I see you are from Eugene. Been there a few times, I have a friend that lives there, whom I have not seen for quite some time. Just wonder if you might know him. His name is Bill Jones, he is a long time roper, and ropes most weekends out that way. Bob Quote

Members Louisianawhipmaker Posted April 15, 2014 Members Report Posted April 15, 2014 Well if saddle making is your goal you are in the right part of the country, there are tons of saddle makers in the town of Greenville just east of Dallas Quote
Members Leatherbaron Posted May 13, 2014 Members Report Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Been doing leather work since 1968 still trying to get good at it heh heh , I was trained by A Texan in the 1960's , he came to Australia and bought a Station ( Ranch ) and ran a Leatherwork Supply shop in Darwin Australia. Made a Roper Saddle once , it was fun..... even a shit saddle is still a saddle , it just looks better as you get better. Now I enjoy making Miniature Saddles for Display only... they are about 1/4 scale..... good fun to do Rgds Leatherbaron Edited May 13, 2014 by Leatherbaron Quote
