"SADDLEMAKING CONSTRUCTION & REPAIR TECHNIQUES."
An excellent, wire-bound, volume written by master saddle maker, teacher, and leather worker Dusty Johnson. This volume is soft cover, and 136 pages (and over 150 photos) of saddle making secrets showing you STEP-BY-STEP how to build your own saddle from start to finish. I spent years learning to make bullropes because of all the "secrets" closely guarded by rope braiders. Saddle making is not much different--with one exception. Dusty Johnson breaks down the doors and tells it like it is. This little book is packed with photos and information guiding you step-by-step to building your saddle. It also includes drawings of the different parts, including the all-important drawdown stand and rigging alignment tool. The wire binding allows it to lay flat on your work bench. If you're buying a saddle, or planning to build them, this book will show you the way.
Here's an overview of the book's table of contents:
Tools; Required Tools List; Required Materials List; Saddle Tree Dimensions; Rigging Positions; Parts of the Hide; Parts of the Saddle; Starting the Saddle; Rigging; Back Cinch; Fenders; Stirrups; Constructing the Drawdown Stand; Gullet; Ground Seat; Rigging Placement Fixture; Install Riggings; Fork Cover; Skirts; Seat Cover; Final Ground Seat Work; Cantle Front; Gluing the Seat Leather; Covering the Horn; Final Assembly.
Additionally, the book includes Dusty's "Bench Notes." These are invaluable, and worth the price of the book all by themselves. The Bench Notes are taken from several of the many published articles Dusty has written on saddlemaking, leatherworking, and shop operation and techniques in general. It also includes supply sources for leather, saddle trees, sewing machines, and much more.
THE DVD--"SADDLEMAKING-LESSONS IN CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR AND EVALUATION...
An excellent 110-minute long instructional DVD by master saddlemaker and leather artisan Dusty Johnson. This is almost two hours of saddlemaking secrets showing you STEP-BY-STEP how to build your own saddle from start to finish. This DVD mirrors the steps in the book, and you get to watch Dusty Johnson take you through the steps from start to finish. This DVD is the best I've ever seen on saddlemaking.
THE PATTERN PACK
Includes full-size patterns for all of the parts you need to build your saddle from start to finish. In addition, with slight modifications you can use these patterns to build any saddle on any saddle tree.
We have been in the rodeo equipment business
for twenty years--since 1986,
specializing in bull riders and bull riding. Our custom bullropes have
been used by PRCA World Champions Jerome Davis and Charles Sampson, along with
National Finals (NFR)
qualifiers Aaron Semas, Tyler Fowler, the late Johnny Shea, and many more
contestants in the PBR, PRCA, National High School Rodeo Association, and
National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. We also
carry everything you need for Bareback, Saddle Bronc and Bull Riding, along with an
ever-changing array of cowboy and cowgirl accessories.
We also carry the Tippmann Boss sewing machines
and all of their accessories. If you are in the market for a machine, or
have ever given it some thought, you really should take a look at these.
This is a COOL little unit, and we use ours every day. We're constantly
evolving, and would love for you to be a part of it.
We currently carry custom bull ropes made by Bruce Gibson
and Raymond Branch, along with Saddle Barn, Jerry Beagley, and CLG Pro Rodeo Products. Our
association with CLG goes back to 1978...the time sure flies!
We also
build custom chaps and chinks with your design or ours. Again,
we're always adding new products, so please make it a point to stop by
often!
Our links section will continue to
become active a little at a time, and you will hopefully find an area
that interests you. Take your time...there's quite a
bit to see, and a lot more coming! And thank you for your patience!
