  1. I pretty much stopped making buscadero belts, I just make 2 to 2 1/2 inch slightly curved belts. Easier and more historically accurate. But, buscadero belts look a whole lot better.
  2. Well, you could turn it around, no tooling and call it lizard! Seriously, though, real nice job! Don't really see a need for another stitch line.
  3. Nice! Really like the stitching. I came up with a similar style holster and made a 'Josey' style buckle from a close out buckle I got dirt cheap, wish I had bought more!
  4. I've been making tools out of old 'T' bolts where I work. Once the threads are shot, we were throwing them away. They are high carbon steel, so rust can be a problem, but I have made special bevels, backgrounders and a few 3D stamps.
  5. My experience with Tandy is not so good either.
  6. I have that same pistol and a matching 1860 Army. I really like the holster, it compliments the pistol nicely.
  7. Besides, I like Jim's better! I got smart (for a change) and copied it down onto poster board and saved it...now if I can just find it...
  8. Very nice indeed, I have used those same roses on a couple of Cheyenne style rigs.
  9. The U.S. stamping, from what I understand, depended of the manufacturer. Some did it, some did not. The oval part supposedly did not come along until the Indian War period. Once again, it depended on the contractor, kinda like now, LOL.
  10. I've been doing leather for more than 30 years, yet I learned a lot from this. Funny how little things get away from you. A wise man once told me that the intelligent man never stops learning.
  11. The picture of the EA-6s brings back some memories, LOL
  12. I got lucky once and upsized a Navy holster approximately 33% and made a Dragoon holster. Worked okay, just forgot the exact increase.
  13. Just heard this, been off of CAS for a while, I learned a lot from him myself. RIP Chuck.
  14. I carry a percussion pistol on a cartridge belt, personally, because I also carry a 1894 Winchester Trapper when I'm working out on the land. Looks a little weird, but serves the purpose.
  15. I like it! The slight fade adds character to it, not in your face, just a bit more subtle.
  16. I know what you mean, been trying to find the Cheyenne holster pattern. Try his site. It's listed there at $40.00 USD.
  17. JLS, Been meaning to send a big Thank You for the Slim Jim, 1863, California patterns, etc. The carving patterns are great also! Been trying to get into gear and get some built and pics up here, hopefully soon I will.
  18. On the count of three, we draw young'uns, one....two...
