  1. Very nice. I was wondering where you get the gun to mold your holsters? Thanks
  2. Have you tried Weaver Leather? I know they have 3/4 & 1" I am not sure about 5/8". All of the jockey saddles I have been working on have 3/4". Abbey saddlery is an excellant supplier also I order from them as well.
  3. Hi, your goal of opening a saddle shop is admirable. I have never regretted doing the same. I think the hardest thing for me was trying to figure out what to charge for my services. I purchased a Cobra dream machine probably 6 to 8 months ago and am loving it, I have not found anything I can't do on it, and have not had any trouble with it short of it getting out of time which was caused by a saddle I was relining and the leather was quite brittle and I ended up breaking 6 needles before it was all said and done, after that it started skipping stitches so I timed it but it didn't seem to help so I called Steve and he helped me to get it right, I just didn't quite have it timed right, Steve is very knowledgeable and eager to help, I would definately recommend the class 4 cobra! Good luck with your business, Alan
  4. WOW, those really are a big deal! I really like the design, color & holder, thanks for sharing. Alan
  5. He is going to be extatic! Very nice work! I really like the hair on, it adds a nice contrast with the russet leather! Thanks and keep up the good work, Alan
  6. Very nice! I really like your carving and overall design & balance. I was thinking that your general design would be good for a fly fishing rod case! Thanks for the idea & for sharing, Alan
  7. Beautiful! Everything about your organizer is top notch, thanks for sharing, Alan
