Good job, Zach.

Muy buen trabajo👍👍👍

Can you tell us what kind of glue is used for the leather? Thanks

More than likely, it's Barge's contact cement. It's the industry standard for saddle makers. It's pretty much all we use. Definitely the most common.

Barge is what they were using in the video. Like Andrew mentioned that is one of the more common contact cements.

Do you have available those patterns for sale, or do you have a website where can I obtain those

Matt, who you may have seen in another one of the ShopTalk videos just completed shooting a similar class for Illum Atelier. His class will include the pattern for a back cinch. You will be able to signup for the course on www.illumatelier.com
