Great looking Sheath........... I do like the DAMASCUS BLADE did you make it ?

Greg thanks for the information. I will pass it on to the owner of the Chaps. There has been NO repairs to them , they are not Ragged and far from being worn out. They have been used ,but honest use.I did have cold chills when i looked at them. Yes the Chaps are for sale. I will do my best as to posting photos this weekend. and again thank you for the information.

from one that was in Sept to another....... Remember "WINE WOMEN MIRTH AND LAUGHTER SERMON AND SODA WATER THE DAY AFTER.........

I just got through looking at a Very Old Pair of Chaps. Hopefully someone recognized the Makers Mark. "DAVE SHELLEY MAKER CODY WYO" ......#33 Also cut into the leather belt was the name Oliver Anderson .Also was cut Z-T and what looked like a brand , that could have been a pitchfork with a bar or line under the mark. Most unsual feature was the pockets, they were not sewn to the outside, but a piece of leather was placed on the inside and sewn, pocket opening was along the edge of the chap leg. There were Batwing Chaps , Fastened by small spring clips. The Conchos were Silver Looking, probably Nickle with rolled edges that were turned under so that no sharp edges were showing. Hopefully some one can help.

well i for one printed some patterns on Transperency Paper with my Ink Jet Printer and i had INK EVERWHERE.. i WONT DO THAT AGAIN

I saw them in person today and they looked very good.

Regis..... i see now, that Basement is going to be Full of some Great Leather Working Tools.

anyone that laces Bilfolds ect.... or Hand sews will appreciate this. you will wonder how you did without it.. (REGIS.... GET BUSY there is a lot for you to accumilate :-)...)

Regis.......Come visit your daughter again this weekend and bring the Machine with you. We'll get er going.......

GREAT LOOKING WALLET, YOU TURNED OUT ,WHAT TYPE OF SEWING MACHINE DO YOU USE.

Ed, Hansens is a very large business, surley they will help. the REAL BRASS RIVETS, i got them from STONEHEDGE LEATHER bought them on e-bay. I think Joanne has mention them on this fourm. There might be a link to them .

HEY STILL WORKING ON THAT R & D ARENT YOU. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MOUNT THE COPPER RIVET WITH THE WASHERS ON THE INSIDE ? FIND A WAY TO DO IT. OK NOW... WHEN I WAS WORKING IN THE SADDLE SHOP, WE WOULD PUT A LITTLE DECORATIVE TOUCH ON THE COPPER RIVETS WE SET. THERE IS A TOOL THAT WILL GIVE THE HEAD OF THE COPPER RIVET CONVEX PROFILE. WEAVER SELLS IT. TRY IT, I THINK YOU WILL LIKE IT. ANOTHER THING THAT WOULD BE GREAT ARE THE BRASS TUBE RIVETS AND CAP I HAVE SEEN SOME THAT ARE VERY THIN AND ALSO THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE HEAVY.

WITH SAD NEWS I WILL SHARE WITH MY "SOUTHERN ROCK" FRIENDS.. Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws and Lynyrd Skynyrd passed from us September 9 07. He had a heart attack at his home in FLA..... hE WILL BE MISSED....

EVERYTHING IS OK NOW...............

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FORUM TODAY???

I was thinking that they are " ONE WAY SNAPS "but wanted to be sure of his term.I do have a lot of them and use them on Biker Bags.

AW SHUCKS.................... thank you Regis. I enjoyed the visit also. when you get to Nashville we will meet up more often.

Looks to me like it would be perfect for a new home.. But a re model, could be kinda costly

I am at a loss at the moment"what are one way snaps"
