So my dad got it into his head he was going to try to replace the cover on the horn of an old saddle he wants to sell, and thought how hard can it be? We found this video and were both fascinated at the amount of work it takes just to do this one small part! It was mesmerizing to watch you work! He decided it was well over his head and the cost to have a saddlemaker do it would probably kill his profit margin, but now he knows his prices for used saddles are more than fair. Thanks for this video, it was a real eye opener!!
Nice. Although this is demonstrating the horn , I noticed a lot about the ground seat. I especially like the way that the seat splashes up onto the back of the swell, and follows the contour evenly to the bottom. This not only blends the transition well aesthetically, but improves comfort and function.

Is it possible to repair the lower front piece without deconstructing the saddle? A customer brought me a saddle that was torn at the stitch line on the underside front of the saddle horn.
A metal horn has a wooden top, very thin. The tacks are driven in and they bend, curl up on the tip, (clinch) when they hit the metal. This holds them very firmly in place, almost impossible to pull out.
Интересно, а что вы за клей используете для кожи, он не слипается на кисточке, можете ссылку дать? I wonder what you use for glue for the skin, it does not stick together on the brush, can you give the link to the jar with glue?
Such a fantastic amount of know-how and craftsmanship go into just the horn alone!
Yes! Where were your saddles 30 years ago when I was cowboying? Beautiful, strong, and functional. Thank you for the video
I don’t make saddles but I am definitely learning lots of interesting techniques I will incorporate into future leather working projects.
Exquisite work.keep on keeping on. Wonderful tutorial. Blessings on you and yours. Again, blessings on ya boy and thanx
Thank you for putting this together. I've been waiting for your next video.
Thank you for sharing "Master"
It goes to my favorites
You make beautiful work

Absolutely stunning work 😅I also tryed my own horn today😅can I ask you what did you put on the edge of your horn in the last step? Thanks a lot!
@@trailponys658I believe he is simply water burnishing the edges & using canvas to polish in the last step
Beautiful. Outstanding!
This was so amazing to watch

11:00 - 14:00 stitching the horn, approximately.
Video title reads “metal horn.” What kind of nails did you drive into that chunk of metal, and who made the awl?
I like the video but not the weird sepia-tone color gradient.

Great video! What do you call those pliers you used to squeeze the two pieces together?
They’re called cantle pliers or duckbill pliers.
So how are you able to drive nails/tacks in a metal horn?
A metal horn has a wooden top, very thin. The tacks are driven in and they bend, curl up on the tip, (clinch) when they hit the metal. This holds them very firmly in place, almost impossible to pull out.
