#PhotoOfTheDay is a promised set of images of the vambrace (arm guard) for archery that my kid made from scratch. It's a lot fancier than mine that I posted yesterday!

It was tricky limiting myself to the 4 images that Masto allows, but I tried. :)

This was a fun project for both of us.

#PhotoOfTheDay are a series of images showing the process of creating my leather vambrace (forearm guard) for archery.

My son did a cooler, fancier one that I'll post tomorrow, since Masto limits image attachments to 4.

The saddle conversion is again one step further. We have a base plate made of aluminum. The saddle knob is shortened and screwed with it from the underside. It would be stupid if the balls were torn off. 🤣😵‍💫

Der Sattelumbau ist wieder einen Schritt weiter. Wir haben eine Grundplatte aus Alu gedengelt. Den Sattelknauf gekürzt und von der Unterseite damit verschraubt. Wäre ja doof, wenn mann sich die Eier daran abreißt 😂😵‍💫

Here are a few more detailed pictures of the Mexican horse saddle project for the old Harley.
The nails are not made industrially and there are many of them installed. The screws are simple wood screws with a lens-flat head. The table is made of artificial teddy fur.
And the many of the screws go far into the saddle; that was certainly not a pleasure for the horse. The wood is red and very hard. The white decorative seam is plastic. The metal applications are probably tinned or silver-plated brass.
Is anyone familiar with this type of saddle and can give me some background information about it?

Hier noch ein paar Detailbilder von dem mexikanischen Pferdesattel-Projekt für die alte Harley.
Die Nägel sind nicht industriell gefertigt und es sind viele davon verbaut. Die Schrauben sind schlichte Holzschrauben mit einem Linsen-Flachkopf. Die Schabracke ist aus Kunst-Teddypelz.
Und die viele der Schrauben gehen bis weit in die Schabracke; das war sicher kein Vergnügen für das Pferd. Das Holz ist rot und sehr hart. Die weiße Ziernaht ist Kunststoff. Die Metall-Applikationen sind wahrscheinlich verzinntes oder versilbertes Messing. Kennt sich jemand mit dieser Art Sätteln aus und kann mir etwas Hintergrundwissen dazu geben?

White dyed, #moosehide #leather with #rabbitFur & beading. #Handmade #handcrafted by an #Indigenous #Tlingit / #Métis woman, who is now living in the Yukon. Both the leather & fur are super soft to touch. They're gorgeous #moccasins 💜

Some closer detail shots, on a few pieces of Jada's art work that I'm helping her on submitting for a national Indigenous art show in Ontario.
