Help!!!! Gorilla Glue to the Rescue!!!!


Needed to add gorilla glue to some weak spots on the saddle fork. I don't think it baked well enough or something. Now I can't cover it with leather for another FOUR hours!


Saddles are available for purchase but there's no fun in getting something ready-made. What's the fun of instant purchase?






Looks like I have to patiently wait it out until tomorrow. In the meantime, I am surfing the internet for saddle parts and kicking ideas around. Found perfectly thin leather that should sew nicely on top of the saddle tree. (Still unsure if I should wet the leather or not when I sew it.)






Trying to be productive and so went ahead and created some rings (tried to create some D rings but will have to be satisfied with what I created) for the saddle skirt, and tried my hand at a VERY ROUGH buckle that should look OK when it's sewed in the leather.
My hands are not accustomed to working the metal, and they're tired out from gripping the pliers.
