Thank you for watching it!!!!

I wanted to comment on Denny's text message he said that he received! Don't listen Denny!!! haha I will probably NEVER do a saddle, but I still want to watch! Maybe it will encourage me to give it a shot!

Been watching a few saddle making videos and saddle related stuff trying to learn more about them even though I've only rode about 3 trained trail horses in my life, lol, but what better way to show off your leather crafting skills than making a nice saddle? I want to make one if only to display it somewhere. But my anxiety level trying to make my first one would probably be like when Denny almost cut that piece out where there was a hole in the leather and he calmly says "Oh I almost made a mistake!" I would have probably shook my head and yelled "I ruined it!!!" 😅

You are the a real pioneer cutting patterns for saddles. I have the 15 inch steel press cutter, a 19 inch- for saddles and all of the side pieces in dies for the cut out. 1925 heavy air press striking the die. You are the man with the know how using a good head knife. Beautiful craftsmanship that you display.

im going to love watching this roll on friday(Denny is the goat)

I've only put in all leather ground seats. Once you get the arch set on it, it's actually easier to build on top of than it is a metal strainer. But there is no wrong way of doing it. Both work. I also nail it in place with ring shank nails.

I love Springfield Leather Co. Great instructional videos, great people, and awesome customer service. If you have leather, you're tossing, I'll take them. I want to make hole plugs out if them.

It was great meeting you last Saturday - and going on the tour of Springfield Leather! Great job

This is awesome! Looking forward to watching this series of videos 😊

I'm glad that you are doing a series on this project. Trying to make a saddle for my daughter. She is always working with horses. I'm taking my time for this project. Thanks for this

Hi. I was wondering who made the round knife that you are using? I'm really enjoying watching you create this saddle!

👌

So other than the massive Al Stohlman Saddle Making Book, is there a resource for these patterns to make a saddle? I am watching this series and watched the video y'all did before the series started that talked about the cost and broke it down. I have a goal to start on a saddle later this year after I buy a sewing machine, just as a challenge project for myself! I have friends and family who ride, and they may take it off my hands!

Whats the benefit of using head knife vs anither knife

@charlesabbott5563

The thickness of the leather and the need to cut all the way through on the first pass make the headknife the correct choice.

What is that twinkling noise in the background?

Noise artifacts. We switched microphones after this episode.

Are there considerations you have to make such as leather thickness that may vary depending on what you expect the saddle to be used for (ie rodeo saddles, cutting saddles, working saddles, etc)?

Ive always wanted to make a saddle but i am not a horse person

What tree is that?
