    Ok I cut out the aluminum with a scroll saw - very slowly - then I drilled holes in the cantle (not knowing why )
    I just tryed to make it look close to the otheres I had seen .
    Then I took a 1" wide 1/4" thick bar and bent it around a vise and then watched you tube over and over on how to weld
    Aluminum and I fitted the parts togeather and begun to heat it all up with a
    Propane torch . Then I run the rod across it and allowed it to cool.
    Then I bought knobs from Home depot and grinded them down some .As I could not find anything esle local

    I then cut the hide and shaped it to the metal . All I have left is sewing the bag
    I can not firgure out how to sew it at the bottom with out it messing up .

    **** So I am at a stand still *****

    I want it to hang like horse hair but I want the bag of a cantle
