I'm all set to go off to Saddle Making school

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

I'm all set to go off to saddle making school for a one on one basis to learn how to make period saddlery of the mid to late 1800's. Tooling will all be arriving next week.   I went with Osbourne as I had in my younger days.
I want to make 6 or so of these for Myself Buffalo Barbie and her GF's.
If I can't get what I want made, I'll make it myself.

Any constructive input would be most appreciated,

Ohh Ohh.. I wanna go too!!  I talked to an almost local saddle maker here and he would take me on as a student.. One week. 2000.00 plus the materials...   I would love to take the class but it may be cheaper just to buy one of his saddle.s
