  1. thank you both,,couldn't help but chuckle,,nice to know,,eat a lot of food i know i will for a skinny guy they say
  2. When shopping on line because there is no place real close i see the reference TR and wonder what that means,,i know someone or everyone cept me knows!! thanks
  3. thanks for info,,hope to be in san antonio during x-mas holidays and can go to tandy's to hand select some leather.... got a copy of packing iron on the road or air cominmg this way so maybe i can get the detail right,,thanks again and happy pumpkin pie!! thanks dwight
  4. they both have a slight forward cant and each can be worn right or left,,after a lot of experimenting at the house i wound up with the laced one onleft hip for the backward draw and the lined one on the right hip slightly forward.. couuldn't decide on tooling pattern so stuck several originals in there ,,lace or thread??? that one i have answered lace on the belt but holsters are still a puzzle like both.. gonna go for copiing a period correct next time out!!
  5. Can someone point me in the right direction for type of leather to make a period correct cowboy era money cartridge belt...i read somwhere not to be tooled but can be decorated with spots and conchos,,also lace can be used... Not a clue what to use or the weight,,appreciate some help!!! thanks
  6. great looking holster and am betting that not your planned belt for carry,,if like me just had to put on as quick as you finish,,,looks like it would work better in my fav carry place,,behind on right side,,,nice looking!!!!
  7. Scraps seem to lead to good projects most times,,,,been wearing boots since i slipped out of the womb and enter another zone every time i stick my old bones in them,,haven't worn spurs in a long time after jabbing my self in the brain area at a local shoot number of years ago,,but i like the spur straps and the spots and seeing yours may spur(no pun lol) see me attempting a set,,,,nice job!!
  8. just looking at them makes me want to buy a pair of black powder smokers,,would certainly be inerested in buying one if i didn't try to torture leather my self!!
  9. Tried to picture my self on a horse working cattle back in the day and make a rig that i could pack a couple revolvers all day,,not a fast draw type at all and this is definately one of a kind cause of indecision and mistakes, and just things i like,,,thought i would post a pix cause the info here sure helped in the making!! old suburban not there was just in album
  10. hello lobo,,,ya would think with my handle i would be spittin out holsters left and right ha ha not the case....just have 3 different personalities as the other half says!!!!! and tended to admire the real three persons,,would have liked to burn powder with him!!!!My hoslters have a lot of his design tho..Those are all great,,???is what is cord lined???? BTW i picked up a small piece of Herman oak from springfield,,it definately a nicer hide and haven't cit through any hard spots as of yet,,haven't stamped or tooled yet,,manyana..
  11. seems like i answer some of my own questions...got in a while ago and looked at my bag and in my unprofessional opinion it appears wet enough that i left in sink about 2x as long as needed.... had enough body left to go ahead and cut basic pattern down to size and will put back in bag and in morn ought to be about right for trying to stamp and cut a few original designs on.... Thank you Mr. Park for your educational tutorials,,have become a fair edger and maybe will get casing down thanks to being able to read your advice over and over..
  12. Hi,,i cut a holster pattern,,rough cut last night,,it will surely have to be tweaked and refined..in an effort to get better i tried casing it and was intending to work on it today but several unexpected things in the way and it will be manyana before i have chance to work on it......an idea of the size it is for a 4 5/8 ruger blackhawk,,,,dipped in sink of very warm water for probably 25-35 seconds,,still bubbling when i put in a plastic bag and sealed off and set on the work table.... The "???" is am i going to have to do again or just sponge wet,,fairly sure tomorrow morn i will have time to work on it... i plan to stamp it and make a few S cuts to achieve the pattern i want...thanks for any input... By the way it is a cut side of Herman Oak 8-9 oz,,Springfield cut me a11 square foot piece of the lower grade but it seems to be a smoother nicer piece of leather than the double shoulder from elsewhere...
  13. straight to the job and neat,,packing a good smith
  14. neat piece of work,,admiration to any one who can carve something besides acorns and oak leave!!!!
