My mark 2 DIY saddle

[Plantificus]

Hi all,

I'm new to all this, but here is my MK2 saddle. Its cordura fabric with seat belt webbing and a 1 in tubular webbing bridge.

Looks great, I am in the middle of my second saddle learning a lot from my first and mine is looking eerily similar to yours.

I've hunted out of my first thread injector project for a month or so now and I fricken love it. I want to make another one because I'm sure It'd come out even better but my first saddle works like a charm!

My first one was so bad. I'm planning a third design already... it would be really freaky if it ends up matching your third design. I'm wondering if there is a standard process that we all go through lol

I'll be using this in a month for whitetail season, I'll see how it goes. I'm making a plywood platform for a wild edge step, hopefully it all works out well.

There must be. My first one is comfy and strong.....just...ugly. I'm much better at working with fabric now after a few other small projects. I like my projects to look neat and professional.

How are you guys coming up with a pattern? I want to build mine but no clue on dimensions?

There are a few patterns on different threads around this site. I don't have the link to the one I used but I found it in a search.

I had my leg straps similar to yours on my rev 2 and I moved them to near the attachment point of the bottom of the loop. I found that my nuts didn't like the lap belt attachment point.

This is what I came up with. I found that making it out of cardboard first was really helpful.
