How To Make A Saddle: Demo

[@DavidREllisAZ]

As a saddle maker myself, this man has made a lot of saddles, he knows his craft, and is a master 👍👍

[@glentweedie602]

Okay, there's drool running out of the corner of my mouth. 😲 That's masterclass stuff right there. I am humbled and honoured to see this. Thank you Stay safe

[@bobhunt2651]

If anyone ever questions the cost of a handmade saddle, just have them watch this video. Great work, Sir!!!

[@hammerdragon4321]

I’m planning on making one my self when I have everything I need

[@TheWingnut58]

Mr.Lowe, most people would call a saddle maker a craftsman....you sir, are an artist! Beautiful work!

[@SpringfieldLeather]

He really does some amazing things!

[@gravydogg1]

I build custom show cars and hot rods for a living,i can appreciate all the patience and soul that goes into this type of work,i have been working leather in my spare time and love the trade... this is one of the best videos on youtube and Denny is a brilliant craftsman

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Thanks for the kudos! We love hearing feedback from other artisans. Sounds like you get the thought and dedication that goes into crafting. Thanks for watching :)

[@INFIDEL82AA]

Hello, Sir. I have been doing the same thing, but I do mostly Bike work. But we all know that Bikes and Hot Rods go hand-in-hand. It's amazing how similar the crafts are, and one can bleed-over into several other fields. Weather it's seats, saddles, dashboards, or belts and bags, the leather tooling industry is very well diverse. Once we learn the craft and art of it, we can usually find a customer in any walk of life. I love watching Masters of their craft, and usually compare them to my own way of doing things. It's weird how different styles are, when you compare a self-taught to professionally taught craftsman. This is how I learn different ways of doing things. I was really happy to have noticed your comment here. It shows me that I am not alone. Good day, Sir, and good luck!

[@brownkr2k3]

OMG, Never thought I'd see such beautiful saddle making again. For seven years before I was drafted I tooled and made saddles under the watchful eye of a saddle maker named Wade Warren. He designed the Warren Roper, a slick fork tree much lick the one you show here, and the tooling design was a wield rose with a hummingbird. I've never seen better saddlery . Thanks for sharing.

[@gateway8833]

I was a Wheelwright Apprentice 50 years ago, there a beautiful Saddle Shop in the same company. Every once in a while I get a chance to go over there and watch those Saddle makers. I always thought it was some kind of magic how those ‘Ol boys moved that Leather around like they did. I’m still convinced watching this that you Sir have been given that same magic.

[@dochiggins]

If I wasn’t 54 years old I’d love to learn to do this kind of work. Just amazing to watch.

[@richardkatzman2066]

Denny you are an unbelievable artist! Best regards, Richard….

[@robertcolfack26]

I would say whom ever you made that saddle for he or she are very happy people.... I love your beautiful designs the color you choose, and your amazing skills....

[@javierbiaggi3072]

A beauty! Thanks for let me watch! Incredible artist.

[@Atcraftcity]

Mr. Lowe, I’ve never been so impressed in my lifetime, and I’m 63, by artistry of any genre, than by your artistry and the making of this saddle!!! It is absolutely beautiful and brings me to tears the sheer beauty of it!

[@christinamuller1741]

The craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. I may have to buy a saddle before buying a horse. Simply beautiful!

[@TheBlackstag1]

wow wow and wow amazing to see this process mind blowing

[@charlesneeley6329]

Great seeing a craftsman at the top of his trade!

[@jameskleist4019]

That is a nice saddle. All the time I was watching I was thinking about my Dad who repaired boots shoes and saddles and tac. As well as I worked for a short time pushing a broom for a saddle company but I never saw a saddle assembled from start to finish. Good job 👏

[@kreator-ys1yz]

wooweeee! My hands just got tired watching this video. Awesome Job!

[@lynntraylor1646]

Nothing like a pro and his craft

[@manuelmendoza6124]

[@KeithSherry12]

It really is wonderful watching a craftsman do his thing so well.

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Thanks, Keith! We also love having Denny on our team and seeing his talent come to life. Thanks for watching!

[@marshmonster942]

Denny, you are a craftsman and a genius. Kevin, Thank you for such a wonderful video. Now I will try to recreate this in 1/6th scale!

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Thanks for the appreciation! Happy you enjoyed it :)

[@duanejones4026]

Such amazing craftsmanship that I would buy a saddle and I don’t even have a horse! I worked with leather years ago and I’m amazed at your eye at detail. Great work!!

[@michaelagalasso2389]

Only one word discribes his work. OUSTANDING !!!!!!

[@l.horseman5704]

That was superbly done. I want to make a saddle. Believe me you make it look so easy. I used to make custom radius staircases, from walnut. Double bull nose with fancy custom handrails. I just want to make a rough out leather western saddle. I still ride I am 76. Great job DENNY good hands that create with care. I know how that is when the wood got silky-smooth as I shaped it.

[@jackkrag]

Hi all. Mr. D. This saddle is so very crisp. 👍🏽

[@MV-in8xs]

I don't even ride and I want to now - just to see the saddles. Excellent work!!!

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Thanks for the compliments! Denny is indeed a master craftsman and a joy to have on our staff. We'll pass on the message! Yes, this saddle is for sale at $6,900. Thanks again! :)

[@ЮрійКавацюк]

I'm from Ukraine. I'm hunting horse-breeding and I want to ask if you could send a saddle to Ukraine. But are there any cheap saddles?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

With the exception of this saddle, our shop actually does not produce and sell saddles. We sell leather, tools, patterns and kits, and a variety of finished goods instead. Sorry we couldn't help you out with this one, but good luck with finding a saddle! Thanks again for the compliments. :)

Good luck to your store

Whats the name of this saddle and where to buy it? Company name? Make? Any more details please?

How much price sir.

[@retribution999]

How does your leather shape so easily , almost effortless. If I try that it either doesn't shape at all or goes hard after it dries.

[@alphanumeric1529]

The Herman Oak leather is probably the answer. Also, all of this leather is treated with neatsfoot oil to put the flexibility/suppleness back into the leather after being cased.

[@GaryonWheels]

And hands/fingers strong enough to Crack a walnut!

[@hughanderson7285]

It’s wet
