Let Skully customise your leather saddle: Brooks, Wrights etc - trimming, tying, name embossing and de-hammocking.

i live in dalston..east drink sounds good.. i'm around there tonight..saturday only before 10.. how about sunday?

This letter set has just arrived. They're pretty large, about 3/4" high. I hope someone will ask me to use them soon,
I will get practising with them in the meantime... I think they'll make initals across the seat of a saddle really nicely.

that horse shoe stamp is awesome...

ummm that was to show you what the letters look like, I don't have a horseshoe.

Dude. I'd be up for a JOL on my chopped Team Pro.
Next week?

I don't suppose you happen to have the numbers 5, 3 and 1 do you?

Jol only just seen this. Yes, let me know what you're doing evenings... I wouldn;t mind coming to some polo if you;re playing... or drinks rides. Whatever!

I don't suppose you happen to have the numbers 5, 3 and 1 do you?

Awesome! Yes I do! But not in the new style, only the small plain letters as per the saddles I've stamped up to now.

i know.
t'was a joke.

skully if at all possible, i'd love a sculpted hack job on my new b17 perhaps to include a little old style lettering...
where's easiest to reach you?

Cheeky... Thought you might be... but there's no accounting for taste.

Yep I'd love to sort out your saddle. I generally hang out at East Drinks late on wednesday evening, also will almost certainly be at south drinks next monday, possibly one of the other evenings too. Or you can drop with me at home (E2) or work (W1), pm me for address. Cheers.

Oh Skully every time this thread gets bumped it reminds me I should put a chopped black b17 on the Raleigh and re-wrap the bars. Why do you tempt me so?
One day....

I get the feeling there might be a few people who'd be willing to fund purchase of said numbers in a larger size. Seriously - let me know how much they cost and we can start a list or something.

What do the stamps look like? Is there potential for branding people with them? I'm dreaming of having 'Awesome! 531' on my butt cheeks.

how does this work, do you just press/hammer the stamp into the leather really hard?

i really like the font of the stamps!

I would think so, I guess with some sort of dolly underneath.

Hey skully,

I'm just awaiting delivery of this lovely little brand new honey b17 special jobby, what could you do to it for me? I'm open to ideas:

Also if you decide which newbie ride you might be coming along to I'd love to come and discuss with you.

Did my first couple last night after the polo tourney, they come out really nice.
Yep I have to get the hide damp first, then hammer it in (carefully) using a block as a prop underneath the hide to flatten the hide where I'm stamping.

Oh Skully every time this thread gets bumped it reminds me I should sell the Raleigh to Ved. Why do you tempt me so?
One day....

one day he will crack

bump

:)

my saddle looks beeauutiful with my name stamped on it ... that skully is a true craftsman.

hi skully, have old b15 which is a bit cracked and perforations have torn on one side .. its been soaked in olive oil/ proofide and i reckon ready for a quick and dirty 'nip and tuck' .. how much will that cost and where could we meet/ drop off (i'm around martnbe arch/ russell square and anywhere in between a lot) ..

Hi welpeur
£20 for chop and tie. Happy to try and reshape if the saddle has sagged in the price, it takes a couple of days but is well worth it.

I work in Poland Street, easy for you to drop off. I'm here til 5.30 tomorrow, and til 6 on Wednesday.

Gimme a shout when you're local, I've PMed you my phone and full address.

Cheers
