Alright, after a year of procrastination I finally have my sewing machine purring and all the materials I need to make my first saddle. I plan to get started on it this weekend. I have been watching @always89y 's saddle making videos and reviewing old diy threads in preparation. I started this thread to help encourage me to finish the project. I tend to start a lot of different projects and sometimes it seems as if I start more than I finish and that just doesn't sit well with me. I want to get that ratio back in the green.
Question:
I hear a lot of you who have made saddles say that you improve with each saddle you make so it begs the question. Should I start out with a simple design and work my way up to making more complex saddles or should I go for gold like @jhunter13 in an attempt to make the masterpiece which is the transformer saddle first? I am taking a poll for fun. If you think I should make a different saddle tell me which one and why.
Big thanks to those that have helped in one way or another or talked shop about saddles and saddle gear! @JCLINE84 @4090Sharps @trailblazer75 @Treehopper2 @Red Beard
My reject saddles will go to @swampsnyper for ground testing. And with that, it looks like I am back to posting a lot of nonsense on this addictive website!
