This is part 1 of my 3 video saddle build. In it I'm working on a 16" Wade style tree, building a 3/4 single rigged custom stock saddle. Please note this series is not intended to be a tutorial. It's simply a compilation of most of the steps I went through to build it.
This is the kind of trade we should be offering students in schools today. It’s healthy for them to learn such skills.
I’ve never seen anything quite like this. The world needs more handcrafted saddles! Thanks for making a film of the process..
I've always loved horses and the craftsmanship of the saddles. Leather work is beautiful I'm glad this channel exists.
They really are a work of art true artisans; the world needs more cowboys to keep these craftsman going.
I love watching this guy do his craft. So relaxing and therapeutic man
I’d be down to maybe 3or4 fingers between both hands at this point in the video if I was trying to do this. This is a joy to watch this man, Thank you!
I found this series to be both informative and fascinating! Thank you for taking the time to make and edit these!
A true artist.
That’s one sharp half round knife! A work of art you sir are a maestro, thank you for sharing.
Wow so much skill and patience, the detail is fire too!!
Great job, looks like it will be a nice rig!
The leather you are using is beautiful. I can tell by the way it skives so smoothly and clean. You have cased it perfectly. Wonderful to watch you work. Precision & experience in equal measures!
Man what I'd give to follow you around for a week in your shop..... Beautiful work.

Excuse me?
Youre videos are amazing to watch. Also you breath through your nose into the mic just like i do when i tape myself. Really enjoying these.
I’m watching the video well. Everything’s just amazing.
Extraordinary!
Wow, this is impressive. Next time i'm frustrated with one of my projects, i'll just come back here to these videos and watch this complex process unfold. :)
this is,, so amazing
Beautiful.
Thank you Sir!
Meu pai artesão, saudades... daquele tempo.amei lembrar...
Muita arte. Hipnotizante. Muito bom.
I love his show.
Magnifique travail😔
he is a true master. my regard
It's too bad you don't have a full instructional video series with explanations and narration from start to finish on making saddles because I would buy it in a heartbeat... I've always wanted to make my own, and I have an old saddle that is in really bad shape and can't be repaired. The tree is still good though. It's just cheaper to buy a new one than take it somewhere and have it done. I would strip it and reuse the tree, but I don't have anywhere within 500 miles of me where I could apprentice to learn. I've done some gunbelts, purses, Spur Straps, chaps, etc... But never a saddle. Always seemed too daunting to me. Your craftsmanship is absolutely incredible.
Amazing
Why didn’t you just do it the other way ? It looks so hard. You are wrili a true artist of my love life you rock ! And I am your biggest fan of your canals ! You are the best one.bye bye
Hi Agar France, a few years ago you posted a video of the creation of a wonderful old-style western saddle, from the 1880s I think. I've been looking for it for a long time but it's no longer there. It was great, especially the reminder of the rigging style that went over the fork, were not nailed down. It would be kind of you to repost it. Thank you
Yeah I’ve been meaning to re-post it but I’m always short of time, hopefully soon.
What was time frame for this portion of the build?
BRAVO
hi again, why the tapered maul vs non tapered?thanks
Aqui no Brasil não temos um trabalho... Bom assim .... muito bom trabalho
At 00:02:57 are you adhering those pieces of leather to the tree? or nailing them in like you do the following pieces that go under the rider's thigh? Great stuff.
Thank you!!
Gözlədi maşallah satılsaydı alardım
What's the ?"boom"/"tree"? saddle base, made out of? Looks like some kindoff rawhide covered with a resin, judging from the stitches!? Beautifull work.
седло просто сказка вы уважаемый великий мастер
Who and how was the frame made that you are applying the leather to?
Stunning saddle, I would give and arm and a leg for one like that
My dad makes saddles and he uses a door knob for the seat jockey too
Awesome video.....do you ever reply to questions?
Hey Robert, I usually reply, depending on the question. Also if it's a real specific or long answer you're looking for it's best to send an email. The address is in the video description.
Para mi el mejor en el oficio hombre metodico. No se le va un detalle por pequeño que sea me gustaria algun dia tener una silla hecha por este señor mi respeto
Existen muchos talabarteros como el. Busca los videos
How did they do this when the didn't have the frame, would they build a wooden frame ?
How do you know where to set your rigging.
Great job! Also: What type of leather was used? What types of tools were used? Was there metal involved? And is it possible if I can make one for a cardboard horse because I can’t afford a horse?

Hi Agar, I've been waiting for this series. Thank you so much. Your work is beyond amazing. How long did it take to make this saddle? Not counting the video making aspect of it. What type of French edger do you like and sizes?
Hey Nick, good to hear from you, I sent you an email.

Are you only into leather work or have you done any cowboyin?
Hi, love your skill, what are the frames made of? Is it fiber glass? Also are the frames made to fit a specific horse or are they just a generic size? Keep it up 👍
I'm not the maker, obviously, but the frame (or saddle tree) was traditionally made of wood (long time ago) and/or rawhide. Fiberglass isn't uncommon now. They come in various sizes for different horses/riders. They also come in different styles made for different jobs. A tree for roping would be different than a tree for barrel racing. You can get custom saddle trees, if you have a horse or rider that is really hard to fit sometimes that is the only option.

I really like this type of saddle. Where are you located? Or where can i get one just like this one?
I'm up in Canada
hi, do you think a fiberglass saddle is strong enough to work with livestock?
To answer a question I read on here about rigging position the most common rigging position is 7/8. If you Google rigging positions there should be pictures that will show you different positions you can set the rigging. If you're making a saddle for somebody it depends on where they want the rigging set at
imagine carving the wood for the base that's the way it was done back than
Where did you purchase the saddle tree ?

What is your advice to someone who lives on a ranch, can't afford a good saddle, really wants to ride, and is considering making their own saddle? After watching this, I feel way too intimidated to even try. But I thought it would be a good hobby to try to make my own... Is that a terrible idea?
What about the thing in the beginning that you're nailing the leather to... (The saddle shaped object that looks like varnished rawhide). Where does that come from, and how is that made?
It’s called a saddle tree Usually wood covered in fibreglass but this one is wood covered in raw hide I think
Id like to know how the "skeleton" is made. I mean the bone colour-like thing over which u glue the leather. thx
That part is called the saddle tree

Can you make one that I can mount on a brony
Incredible...what would you charge for that? Once I get my horse I'll need a saddle and that is absolutely beautiful. Looks like your saddles are not only sturdy and made with love but gorgeous. 😍 All the love from Kansas!

To learn saddle manufacturing skills Is there any way?
YES, APPRENTICE, JOURNEYMAN, THEN MASTER. TAKES MANY YEARS TO BE A MASTER.
The making of saddles like this artist does is that they weigh a ton when completed. I understand the heavy ounce leather for the skirting but why so heavy for the rest.
Está es una silla Mexicana con muchas modificaciones gringas
The form is called a saddle tree. And the tree that he's using is a wood tree wrapped with rawhide.
What is the most common size/type of saddle tree to use?
Different regions have different preferences, best to check what kind of horses dominate in your area and what type of uses the saddles might have.
Superb 😃 price plz
Can you imagine just how time consuming and tedious making a saddle was a few centuries ago..
If you dont mind my asking does anyone know what that rigid material is?
👍👍👍👍 okey
What that base you were upholstering has made of? Should be pretty strong thing I guess.
Zortorond I think it would be a fibreglass mould but I may be wrong
Saddle trees are made from a few materials, usually wood covered in fiberglass, but this one actually happens to be a wood tree covered in rawhide. Fairly common style of tree.
esa montura sera incomoda; al soportar peso con el coxis, debido a esa placa metalica.
Do you own and/or ride horses?
I do
Why does he put the leather in water? Is it warm water? And for how long? I want to learn more about leather crafting 😅
He puts the leather in water to make it flexible and able to mold. Generally this water is room temp or a little warmer. He only leaves the leather in The water until air bubbles stop coming from the leather
@@shelq8409 Oh, I see. Thanks! 😊
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

No wonder western saddles are so heavy.
