Calico saddle Build!

[always89y]

Out of respect for @odino I am changing the name of this thread and saddle. There can be only one Frankenstien saddle, and his is it! Nice build @onido !

I shall call it the Calico saddle.

I have a bunch of material that's just a bit to short to make a 1 piece saddle, so I'm going to throw them together and see what comes out. I'm putting a milspec mesh center strip to give it some stretch...and I dont know what to do with it!
Also going to use the seatbelt webbing from the PLVOD project as the chassis.

And you're going to make this one a small for me right?

Following. I’m impressed with your ideas and I’m thinking about building something just like this.

 

[always89y]

Coming along...thinking of including loops...like on an RCH.

Nice work as usual, @always89y! Your builds always provide ideas of stuff to try.

@always89y what thread do you typically use for your builds?

 

[always89y]

#69 or #92 polyester mostly. Just lots of overlap! Brand isnt a factor for me. I use whatever I can find resonably priced.

Man no wonder your my idol. Haven’t got to my saddle build due to my wife’s stroke but once she is feeling better I will

.....

Don't worry about the name...
I called it that because in the end, when it is ready, it will be the set of various solutions
adopted by SH users and commercial products...

Best Regards!

Much appreciated! Grossgrain still beats me up. I need to get one of those handy little edging do-hickies!

Thank you sir. The stroke left her with some bell palsy in her face that might take some time to go away I’m just glad she is in better spirits now

How much overlap are you talking??

EVERYTHING is triple stitched...cept the grosgrain edging
