The first step of the project is to build the sides of the saddle stand.
Build your own saddle stand dimensions.
Use 1 12 lumber for the components.
For a western saddle because the stirrups permanently hang down from the tree the rack will need to be higher than that for an english saddle on which the stirrups are run up prior to placing it on the rack.
Rip them 2 for the seven top slats.
The first step is to make the two ends of the saddle rack.
Select the 1 1 8 material.
Cut the rack pieces determine the desired size of the saddle rack or use the dimensions here.
Measure sides of wood.
The saddle rack should be built tall enough or mounted high enough on the wall so that no portion of the saddle touches the ground.
Crosscut six pieces 24 23 7 8 for the two sides front back panels and the top slats.
This design requires one 12x8 or 12x10 one inch thickness board and three 3x8 one inch boards plus some screws a robe hook a saw even a hand saw drill and bits and optionally some stain varnish.
Mark the cut lines on the slats and get the job done with a jigsaw.
Measure 3 inch on both sides of the center mark and make two more impressions.
Rip them 9 5 for the front back panels.
Use sandpaper to smooth the edges or a router with a round bit.
How to build your own saddle stand.
Drill a starting holes and use a jigsaw to make a 3 hole.
If you have been wanting to know how to build your own saddle stand but just did not know where to start you have come to the right place.
Use a marker to make a mark at the center of the narrow section of the joined woods.
