Make your own saddle?
« on: December 16, 2005, 09:45:20 AM »
It's always been a dream of mine to make a couple of 19th-century saddles and them be a decent enough horseman to use them, but I don't know my lead from my diagonal. Anyone else out there have the dream or better yet, pursue the reality?

I was lucky. I got hired by a saddlemaker when I was 25. Learned a lot, had a good time and still use the skills he taught me.

You done good, Pard.

Good-looking saddle, pard. I like the amount of tooling on it.
