I’ve been searching and searching and searching for a video JUST LIKE THIS. Thank you for sharing. You should have your own school on saddles. Great work

That is awesome! We are glad you found what you were after. Trevor teaches a lot on our online learning platform www.learnwithillume.com there are two saddle courses there currently with almost 100 other leather working courses taught by a variety of leather artisans.

My saddles were made by Wade Warren, Clint Marrs, Bill McDonald. Those (and similar Visalia, Olsen Nolte, etc.) saddles were made with leather ground seats, shaped to the customer's sit bones. So there are other ways besides the metal strainer.

Your method for cutting the hand-hole allowed me to produce a hand hole cut that I actually like for the first time. Thank you very much!
