Saddle patterns - and all things saddle making

[kiwibraider]

Hi guys, 

 

ive been doing leather work for a number of years now and am wanting to take on my first saddle. I live in a country where there aren’t many teachers - or resources. So I was wondering if anyone could recommend where I could buy some patterns/templates? 
 

also any recommendations on tutorials etc would be greatly appreciated. I have been binge watching whatever I can find on YouTube for the last few months. 
 

again, any tips and advice appreciate!! 
 

thanks in advance.

Ahhh yes! The stohlman books. I’ve been hunting for a while now trying to find some at a decent price (on amazon they’re $350, plus $80 postage in my currency!)
