What can I say I received my new transformer saddle yesterday from the one and only @JCLINE84 the man is a master @ stitching up this one of a kind transformer saddle (more on that later). Well little back story I have had mad respect for this man who creates some really cool gear for us saddle hunters by reading his posts and the willingness to help his saddle brethren I feel he goes above and beyond like many of the fellas on here who I’ve gotten to know over the years. There are a few guys on here who I would give the shirt off my back if ever needed and Jamie is one of them. Well one day I was perusing the site like many of you guys and came across a post by the man he was looking for something well I contacted him and a deal was struck. To let you know I wasn’t looking for a saddle but I wanted to build a faux transformer as I’m a budding saddle wants be maker for my own use. I have made a few thru the guidance from several members like my brother from another mother @always89y (private joke LOL). So a deal was struck Jamie contacted me and asked me what I wanted to do I told him if he didn’t mind I would like to build one using his pattern and build techniques and he said sure when he gets more material he will send it out to me and he will build the suspension for me since he has the jig and this coincide with me getting a new industrial machine and he suggested what I could do and who to talk ( @4090Sharps ) to to make that machine work the best I soaked it all up as I have always been a DIY type of guy for the past 40 years. So when I found saddle hunting I jumped head first no holding back spending some serious amount of money like many of you as I bought and borrowed and tried just about all the saddles on the market and also building a few with some success and failures but I always found something I didn’t like or thought I could improve on plus I had to curb my spending or my wife was gonna kill me so DIY is the only way now for me. So when the deal was struck and I was excited I was gonna build a saddle with the utmost attention to detail like Jamie does. Yeah right in my mind at least LOL Well fast forward to several weeks Jamie asked me if I could do the binding and I said no as I was having some issues with my new machine and what camo I wanted so he said he will put the binding on and get it out to me and I wasn’t gonna build the saddle until I perfected my machine skills with the new thread injector. Now this guy is busier than most with his school and home life and of course building the awesome transformer saddles everyone just wants. I know he is busy as I would have a question so I would text him and ask figuring he would answer me when he gets a free moment but he always reply’s back pretty quick as he is up to the wee morning building these saddles with the utmost care and attention he could muster up. Well yesterday the saddle arrived which I thought was parts I was surprised to see a complete built saddle so I rang him up and he told me me since I have a lot of things going on with my machine issues and my wife’s recent spine surgery he wanted to surprise me and build it so I wouldn’t have any issues and I could build another later on so when I said in the title that the transformer changed my life it did. I made a great new friend and gotten a saddle I wasn’t expecting which was built on his personal time and after checking it out from top to bottom for well over a hour checking every PERFECT stitch and lines out and when I say it’s one of a kind it is because of a different color scheme and a new size 2 pattern and a few other things that I can’t really say but keep a eye and ear out in the near future as there will be some wonderful news coming from overwatch out doors. I got to try it out last night and man the ADJUSTABILITY of it is immense you got to spend some time with it and you will see what I’m talking about!!! I have handled ALOT of saddles and by far this one is the best well at least for me and it will be for many as well. So just hold on and you guys will love it as much as I do do a big thank you to Jamie. You can’t go wrong with this fella. Here’s some pics that don’t do it any justice and btw I added the tubing bridge as I didn’t feel like tying up the supplied rope

At least JibberJabber uses paragraphs. Wow
