How to do a Full Round Cap on a Saddle

[@kandyhill2855]

You missed some steps before you started the stitching dam it!

[@garrett6371]

These are great, please continue to make saddle making videos.

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

Glad you like it. I will.

[@davidellis4416]

Love the video, your slickfork looks great, I have only made 28 saddles, the last one 20 yrs ago getting back into it, you didn't show how you set up the rawhide, could you show how you set it on the horn thanks, from Australia

[@aintthatthetruthmadeintheu2723]

Incredible craftsmanship!

[@baciliozamora2552]

What king of grinding wheel you have to sharpen your tools,

[@TexHoss1]

That glass will also help keep your blade from loosing it's edge as quick on your knife & razor blade when skiving the leather down. Years ago I always managed to hit the table top or cutting board & it would dull them quick.

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

That is correct. And it also keeps you from cutting notches in your table.

[@TexHoss1]

@@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles That's so true cause my table looked bad on top I got me another top & put over the old 1.

I really enjoyed this video!.. Great job to the camera crew also, Right on the action!.. I haven’t started my saddle yet, I’m still studying 😎 I think I have everything I need to get started..

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

Glad you liked it. My wife is the camera crew.😉

[@ZeRowe]

@@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles She does well!

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

Yes she does. She quite often is the one that updates all my pages too!

[@TexHoss1]

Fine job.

[@randyweeks9316]

It was very good but you didn’t show how you placed the rawhide binder on

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

Your right I didn’t. My wife ( who is the one taking the video) had to leave and she didn’t get back till I was done doing that. I have an other saddle coming up that has this same style of horn on it. If you want to see how that is done I will do an other video showing that? It’s probably the easiest part of the whole horn.

[@davemorgan7121]

You are a true Artesian. Thank you for the video, I look forward to your video showing the application of the natural rawhide to the swell around the outer edge of the gullet. In addition, I'll definitely watch the next horn video, wherein you show the horn cap and crimping of the top portion of the rawhide. Thanks again and Happy Trails to you as well.

[@hamakiman1]

Nice work…do you know places to source fresh rawhide? I’ve found it difficult, even online.

[@Sonicsupersayain]

Where’d you get the pistol? Looks nice

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

It’s a Ruger vaquero 45 caliber.

[@curtissheppard1996]

I need to do this exact job to my saddle. What Oz of leather do you recommend?

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

The bottom is split to 8 oz middle is 8 oz top is 9 -10oz

[@juliangonzales2916]

Saludos muy buen trabajo👍👍👍

[@woogaboogawiththegreenteet8436]

thank you

[@jacobguitreau6454]

Where do you get the pattern for the horn and the measurements I am redoing one and I am having trouble finding a pattern

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

I make all my own patterns. The best way to make a pattern and know that it works is to make it out of chap leather.

[@jacobguitreau6454]

Ok thanks

[@laurence1643]

Packin' a firearm in the shop???

[@SterlingCampbellCustomSaddles]

Always! That day it was a 45 Ruger vaquero, today it’s a Ruger sp101 357 magnum. 😉
