Well everyone, I'm back and I must say I have missed this place. Thanks to all that sent me emails asking how things were going, and also the Birthday wishes, you guys and gals are GREAT. Well anyways, I'm starting a new vest so I thought, what the hey may as well do a tutorial while I'm at it. This will most likely turn out to be a very long thread, but again, what the hey... Well first off what I do, is I layout the drawing that I am going to be carving into the shoulder piece. As shown in the pictures, you can see that I use 3 pieces of 3M Transparancy Films for this.

Just after joining this forum, a few of you had sent me PM's asking for a hat pattern, I appologize to all of you for not sending them. But, as they say patience is virtue and here we have what you were looking for. Well as promised, now that Wolvie ahs gotten his PIF from me (although he hasn't posted pics) here's the way I make my Canadian "Kempi" style hat. Everything is the same to make a typical baseball style hat, you just use a diferent pattern for the pieces. If you are wanting to make a baseball cap using this tutorial and do not have a pattern, well, see that old ball cap up there on the shelf in the front hall closet???? take it, and cut it apart at the seams…

I had made a pair of chaps for one of Gustavs friends. I had been asked to make them exactly the same size, so I did.. The first time he tried them on he realized they were too small around the waist, and the legs should have been 4" longer. It is a guy who has helped Gustav a lot, and Gustav wanted to give them to him as a gift, and since he is the only western rider I know of in Denmark, I had promised to make them. But still it kind of bugged me that they didn't fit the first time, so I started making a chaps measuring belt. I have seen a video on Youtube with a shop where they have a belt like that. So techjnically it is a set of yokes, an adjustable b…
