Can't wait for the next videos! There's too little saddle related content on youtube, it's always such a delight and well of information for me! DG serie was great, I can't wait for yours, the rigging fix and re-lining are gonna be a wonderful thing to learn, don't spare any details on us ^^ I'm curious, how would you patch up a hole in the swell? Nailing it? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience Sir. Take care
From Matt - "Swell patching is nailed on with escutcheon pins in my shop! If the hole is to big i usually re cover swell. If i patch, i scallop with a 3/8 inch half round and put a pin through each scallop"
Perfect timing. I just inherited two old saddles that are badly in need of cleaning, repair and oiling. Thank you for the great video. This is my first foray into saddles. I make holsters, sheaths, handbags and a bunch of other leather projects. Thanks again from Dan at "THREE HORSE LEATHER".
Very informative thank you
Great information thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Good day sir, great video great work. So I recently got an old saddle. I don't know how old it is it was listed as vintage. It was at a good price so I bought it. so it can be like a project of mine fixing it up. The day after I received it I tear it apart remove the skirting and the fenders. So I can get a better look at it and clean an oil it. The tree looks great. I think it could still be used but I'm stuck. I don't know where to get its new skirt lining maybe new fenders and latigos it's was missing latigos. Think you help me out?
Hello
Awesome video. What can I charge for a full break down clean? No repairs.
From Matt - "A full break down and clean on average I’m a minimum of $125. But the best way to figure your personal price is to add up your average time and shop rate and charge accordingly… and some saddles are worse than others.
Do you have a link to the repair and oiling video of this saddle? I can't seem to find it.
It is pat of a longer series on our online learning platform at www.illumatelier.com/courses/saddle-repair-and-maintenance
Its getting expensive to keep the lights on. I had to raise my prices. I'm getting more saddles in for tear down, clean, and oil than I can handle, and I'm charging $200. Nobody says "no," so I imagine I could probably charge more if I was interested. Re-shears are $250, but I don't use a sewing machine for much of anything if I'm doing repairs. How do feel about repairs on old fiberglass trees? I'm not sure how much I trust them, and I don't want to repair something that might hurt someone, or worse, the horse.
We reached out to Matt and he sent us this, "I feel your pain, if I see something that I feel like is a danger or going to cause a problem I'm just brutally honest with the customer and won’t work on it. If you feel a need to I would probably have them sign some sort of waiver or maybe ask your insurance agent if you're covered."
That saddle was so dirty that in a first thothgt that it was only the saddle tree😂
