Such a terrible thing to do to a dead cow....

Hope this helps. First picture, front panel on the left, back panel with belt loop on right.Second pic, shown how they are sewn together. I used tiny little scraps, hope you can make sense out of it. You can still attach retainer strap like you did before.P.S. don't forget to skive a little b4 you sew....

You from Michigan?? I want cash!!

Nice job for your first go JBIRD...the bass is great! Bring over a 6 of Bud Light and I'll show you how to make the back panel and the belt loop from one continuous piece of leather.

Todd....welcome, I'm from SE Mich too and I'm a frequent flyer at the Tandy store in Westland. If you ever need some help there, themz good guys and will take good care of ya.

My wife asked me if I was planning on straightening up my shop area (Garage) before the kids came over for Thanksgiving...you know what that means....so I did, and she even commented on how nice and orderly it looked...nothing like yours Bruce, mind you......so while my grand-daughter was here she asked me if I would make her a simple little bracelet, so I did. When I was done with it, the shop looked like I'm used to it looking.....

Very impressive Dan...looks likefirst class quality to me.

Very impressive Bruce...you would make Al Stohlman proud!

Well that's cool...so let me know when they come out with a basket weave gun and compressor, I'll be all over that one!!

I believe that a lot of peeps think that a better swivel knife will make them a better swivel knifer...a better round knife will make them a better cutter, etc......that's like saying better Sheridan stamping tools will make them better Sheridan carvers.....nonsense, right? I think so..... Better tools and more of them is not a short-cut to fine leather work.....takes practice, and lots of it.

Hi Chris....I'm always surprised to hear that people in Europe are into the Western gun leather, reenactor stuff.....I never even heard of Texas Ranger Reenactors here in the States....I'd be intereted in that....I'd like to be an Apache!! Hope to see some pictures of your work here soon....and welcome!!

Have a great day ya'll!

badger...after readin Packin Iron again, I can't see how you would need any other book for historical reference. Most of that book covers the real deal type gun leather, and only devotes a few pages to the Hollywood types. You'll see.....

Would sheepskin be good for lining knife sheaths? If so, I could use a boat load of 6" square size. THANKS!!

Hey, I thought I recognized that makers mark!! Looking good Tom!!

I know this is somewhat off-topic but thought I'd offer to my friends b4 I posted them else where....anyway, I have them from 1992 to current...and they must go....no reasonable offer refused...I'm moving and they're not going with me. They will fit into 3 or 4 11 x 17 boxes, so shipping will be up there...how bout you pay for shipping (or come get em) and trade me something leathery..... I live in SE Michigan.

Don..I didn't recognize you without your cowboy hat on!! Great lookin holster!!

You don't have to be a lawyer to know that university logos are trademarked, therefor, shouldn't be copied. You don't have to be a lawyer to have common sense either.

quick answer: yes. Is is copy righted, trade mark showing?? No....? It's yours.

Yep, I heard the same thing about G10 also, but neither one has affected me at all....I make sure to wash it down with beer, maybe that's the ticket.

If you want to make your own, go to ebay and search "knife scales" and you can get the slabs of cocobolo you need for about $5-$6....alls you need is a belt sander and some fine sandpaper

I got the new motor hooked up (1725 rpm), saw the video......I'm good to go!! Thanks Ivan!!

Thanks Mike.....and thanks for letting me know that there is a Ruger Forum. I wasn't aware! I just registered...are you Twin Oaks there as well?

Luke...you should!!

No Maker Stamp?? No problem...send me some little somethin done by your hand!!
