Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted August 25, 2017 Members Report Posted August 25, 2017 Ok not sure what happened to the note I had started, maybe I got it posted by accident. If so the end of the note is take your time. Once the result is what you want, you will be proud to show it off and know you won. If the front of this note didn't get posted, I will rewrite it later. Bottom line is , take your time, the result is worth the effort. Bob Quote
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted August 25, 2017 Members Report Posted August 25, 2017 So guess the first part of the previous note didn't make it, what I was trying to say was, pick out the hardest thing to accomplish since you have already built several saddles and know where your downfalls are, and attack it with the mindset that you can do it. I have seen your work over the years and you are ready to achieve that next level. As for cantle bindings, do a std binding with visable stitching. One trick is use not only a stitch wheel on the front, but; on the back also. Next is start an awl from the back to make an exit hole for your front awl. You will be amazed at how the front awl finds the back hole. Make a special effort to keep the amount of tension you put on each stitch the same. The result will give you a reason to be proud. It takes time and effort, but; you'll be glad you took the time to master it. Bob Quote
