The Repair Shop - Texan Side Saddle

[asmp]

Just seen on the TV listings that tonight’s Repair Shop has a Texan side saddle. Should be interesting.

I assume it will be Suzy Fletcher working her magic.

It's also featuring a childhood friend's little brother...though I'm guessing he's probably not so little any more! ?

 

[Tarragon]

I love this program
I shall look out for this

 

[Tiddlypom]

Oh, I'll look out for that, thanks for the heads up, we're gradually going through the episodes on catchup .

Suzy is great, she clearly loves her work. Well, they all do, don't they?

A distant cousin (aged in his 90s) was on one of the earlier episodes with a Victorian kaleidoscope, which was given to him as a child by his mother while he was ill at home with diphtheria.

I remember that kaleidoscope TP! It was lovely.

I love this programme. The sitar a few weeks ago was incredible.

 

[tallyho!]

Great saddle! Never seen anything like it before.

 

[McFluff]

It looked amazing when finished. Strangely inviting to use...

Suzie is a saddler & started her work in USA, it's the first Repair Shop saddle she's got to work on. Looked fabulous.

Also, did you know that Steve who does the watches etc is her brother?

 

[Baywonder]

I missed it!

 

[AmyMay]

It’s such a lovely programme.

 

[Trouper]

So interesting that she used a good, old-fashioned glycerine bar to work on the leather.

 

[Dave's Mam]

I missed it!

It'll be on iPlayer.

 

[Baywonder]

It'll be on iPlayer.

Phew! Thanks @Dave's Mam

She always uses it on the leather items.
Recorded the program to watch this evening.

She does but I think like said above it's usually very old leather shes working on which might be why? Suzie certainly knows her beans about saddlery so can't imagine she would use it if it wasn't the best thing for that particular type of leather
