Great job!

that's a nice-looking holster with lots of stitching looks cool.

Thanks, Darren I never use an arm guard when I shoot I'll tell ya that's some really nice-looking work you did love that stitching and those handmade deer antler hooks what a cool job.

Very cool looking work would the bow string get caught on the hooks you have there?

I agree with that intention when we put something out there as a design and someone copies it that should be a complement to the designer or fabricator unless you are trying to make it your idea. this is not your intention, sorry for my post it was really not necessary.

Nice job on the roses guys you guys sure are talented.

Before anything else, I consider myself an inventor. I once worked in a bottling factory one day I came up with an idea of how to make part of the line process better. I was explaining my idea to a guy I worked with, and noticed the guy that worked in the back room was just in earshot of us and seemed not to have a reason for being there, he was just listing to everything I said. The next day I came into work and there he was with all the bosses explaining his invention to them, I just looked at him smiled, and said that's a very cool idea! he looked at me like a deer in the headlights and said thanks. So in my mind, if you see something unique, copy it and then say it was your idea, well good luck to you. Folks who do that kind of thing know who they are. LOL

Looks very nice to me, you pay attention to detail that's for sure anything worth doing is worth doing right.

WOW, that's some beautiful work thank you for showing.

what a great idea can't wait to sea them.

Looks nice good luck with your new company I wish you the best.

just for the heck of it I just looked online, wow that's fun it's loaded with art for that I did get excited when I saw the diving helmet I could see that on a belt cool stuff.

same here

At the tattoo shop bill gets three times more than John for the very same line drawing.

This is artwork yes it took me three times as long but my artwork is 100 times more desirable. You can't compare artwork to brake work. Being the artist you are I'm surprised at the comparison.

That's it nice looking belt and holster.

Hate to say it friend but things like that have what's called a perceived value not fun to hear but it's true. It would be best if you created something that that's new or unique unfortunately your wallet is neither let's say your shop price is $25.00 dollars an hour x 10 hours labor = $250.00 your wallet has a perceived value of $50.00 that makes your wallet very hard to sell. In my younger days, I was a custom furniture and cabinet maker a decorator came it my shop he wanted a price for a bathroom vanity he showed me his drawing which had a lot of unique things about it I told him I would get back to him. Now, this vanity was only three feet long with a banjo top over the toilet. The next day I gave him a price of $3,500.00 dollars He said wow that seems like a lot of money I said it Is because that's a lot of vanity he said he could get a vanity at home depot for $300.00 I said ok that's good for them $3,500.00 is my price. He bought the vanity from me for $3,500.00 plus installation. The design of his vanity made it so unique it was worth $3,500.00 and he knew it. My advice to you is always getting what you need to get don't work for anything less. One thing I would tell people who wanted things cheaper is if I don't get all the money how can I do a good job for you?

looks good Frodo

No debate at all I'm just too dam lazy to do all that hand stitching I actually think it's better and I like to think of myself as the guy who would like to do hand stitching and I have all the equipment to do it but then when it comes time to do it I'm on the machine the most hand stitching I do is to close up the end of the machine stitch LOL.

This is machine-stitched I think it looks ok

That sounds like a deal to me good job Frodo.

that's going to look really nice with the resist and antique what's on it now. as far as how much it's worth I think that starts with what you think it's worth and start to develop a price point from there factoring in all sorts of things like materials, overhead, time and time on a one-off thing needs to include design, ordering materials, and so forth sometimes it's about who is doing the buying and why anyway I would say not less than $50.00 Bucks But then what the hell do I know.

Thanks for showing Frodo like to see the other one when it done

I charged a guy fifty bucks for a key holder for his belt it only holds one truck key but he's happy with it he has had it for about four years now and wears it every day it's a very small case with no tooling no color $50.00 bucks with all that tooling on yours, wow not sure what it would be worth.

how long did it take to make that and could we see a finished one you know completely done.
