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

this book will show you the way.
