The other half is money. Buying the sides, the saddle tree, and all the hardware...well, that is more than my pocket book can handle for a while. But someday I'll get there.

Hey Deb. I had the same issue for my motorcycle seat. I started leather in the 70's but in the last 3 or so years I have wanted to tool a seat for the bike. I kept putting it off doing little projects like purses, wallets, belts and such. After making about 50 items both from kits and from scratch (I ran out of people to give things to) I decided ready or not it was time. You might want to consider the same. While I am finishing the last of the stitching and lacing on this seat it has been a challenge and I made enough mistakes that I know I will make another attempt but I learned alot while doing this one.
If you have the books and vids you might want to throw caution to the wind and go for it.
I too have hopes of making my own saddle some day.
