My dad does custom leather work making saddles and holsters and leather repairs for people so I can tell you first hand that it's a lot of work to put one of these together. Yes I could have asked my dad to do it but then I would have to listen about how much work it was and what a pain, how lucky I am to have someone that can do this etc. etc... Yep simpler and more peaceful to order it.

I could have saved you all that money and it wouldn't have been any problem to do it either.
And you will get to answer these questions every time he sees it!
