Dale Harwood-The Art of Saddle Making DVD

[bruce johnson]

The Dale Harwood DVDs on saddlemaking are due to be released at about any time. They were doing some re-editing since the first announcement last winter, and last I heard, were doing the final duplicating. Has anyone had the inside track to see them yet?

Haven't seen anything yet, but I'm looking forward to it, too. I haven't called on it yet, I haven't seen a price on it .

The price I was quoted was $400, including shipping. Not sure about the time length, but I think it is a 2 DVD set.

I just got the e-mail this afternoon. Supposed to be ready later this month. And it's priced at $399.99. That's WAY too steep for my blood.

I cannot wait for the DVD I called them last dec. I think $399 is a great price, for the knowledge that you are going to learn from the tapes. I talked to his daughter about the dvd, she said that Dale is going to be telling some stories also. I dont know if anyone has watched 4 strands of Rawhide with Bill Dorrence, but I think the story telling is what I liked the best. I know that you cannot go out to Dale's place and work with him for that price.

I wish they could get Don King to do a carving video, I know he will not, but wouldnt that be great as well.

I have taken a couple of seminars with Dale before and for the meager price of $400.00 you are gonna get inside this mans head and learn things that people will spend 20 years or more trying to figure out and still never get it. You don't have to ruin much leather to add up to that, one bad saddle will do your rep more harm than a hundred good ones will rebuild and to travel some where to get this education will cost you $1000.00 or more. At a seminar if you miss something or forget something it's gone, with the DVD you can replay it over and over. Any body who thinks this Knowledge is priced too high isn't very serious about improving thier skills or is a know-it all that is beyond help. Ifyou can't afford it, go in halves with someone and share the dang thing. Greg

Don't get me wrong--I'm a Dale Harwood fan. I've just got too many other toys to buy right now to drop $400 on the DVD's. A few months down the road, I probably will. I am looking forward to hearing some reviews though.

I ordered my today. I was told the videos are going to come in on the 25th. I went ahead and paid for mine so it would be shipped as soon as the DVD comes in. I told them about this website, so hopefully they will come on and tell more about the DVD so everyone can find out more about them. I will tell everyone what I think once I get it and have a chance to watch.

Hello to everyone!

The Dale Harwood is ready for sale...it will available June 25! For $399.95 that includes shipping, we can send you one of the most talked about saddle making DVD's. From tradition to education, this DVD has it all. As I saw a few people write, $399.95 is a steep price, but it's also a collection of heritage, of a trade that needs preserving, and that is one thing I am sure we have accomplished. This saddle making DVD is full of the real life Dale Harwood riddles, knowledge and sheer brillance in working with leather!

And like a post said, if you see in real life, once it gone it's gone -- but with technology, the DVD's are filled with chapters that you can go straight to, or slow motion you DVD and watch certain moves or the way he cuts leather over and over again! DVD are an excellent too for the 'tool box' as you can watch it a lot of times and still gain knowledge each time!

Also to the person who wants to capture Don King on a leather working dvd....wow...would I like to, but on a sad note, he is not doing so great...I hope he lives a long time to try and teach us 'youngins' how it's done!

you can order the DVD by calling 800-349-7078 or email trc@wildblue.net

adios amigos!

Could you give us a little more info? Or is there a website with more info? How is it set up? Does he make a saddle from start to finish, can you tell us what is covered? How many hours is it? Maybe there is something out there that gives this info, but it would be cool to maybe see a little youtube-like clip or something that gives you some idea of what you are getting. I don't doubt there is 400$ worth of knowledge but before I would plunk that down I'd just like a review or something.
