Trying my hand at saddle making in the phantom form. I am taking a lot of info from threads by @always89y @wayne r @ckossuth as well as many others. All info I can gather, I have been bookmarking.
Sasquatch reference = 6’2” and where 42-44 waist pants.
I am basing my dimensions from @wayne r phantasm build, but up sizing it in a couple places.
I am keeping the overall length of 31” but adding on to the middle width to 14” and the sides to 8”.
I used a 48” metal ruler for my curve by placing 24” mark in the middle and bending it til I had touched the marks on the outside of the fabric evenly.
I was able to attach my mil spec binding with v92 thread from the thread exchange (awesome thread from them), the whole build will be done in v92 thread. I included up close pictures of how I ended the binding at the ends for a nice clean look.
I have attached several photos of progress so far and will update the thread as materials come in and more tasks are completed. Also attached close up shots of my stitches, both top and bottom.
Thanks for following along.
P.S. I am also videoing my progress as well to put up on my YouTube channel, no time frame on when that will be posted but I will make sure to update the thread when it does so if people are interested in watching how I put it all together, they can.
