Thank you sam. just trying to keep up with you lol. Josh

Thanks for the kind words. Josh

looks good, are you lining these or is the belt clip rivet exposed inside? also I am wondering why the choose of horse hide? Josh

Glad your on board, we are glad to have you! Josh

Thanks Max ya I told him that but he said these will be used really easy and he loved this leather hope he's right. Josh

Howdy all So I finished these up I kind of liked the way they turned out, They are 9 oz herrman Oak on the body of the bag, the gussets are 5 oz chap slits, Brass conchos and good old saddle tan dye oiled and a touch of my air brush Thanks for looking all. Josh

JW are you using a campbell for your saddles? Josh I am also wondering what mr Andy Knight is using.

ok gang mine was done way back it was a horse and rider carving I oiled set in the sun and the dogs ran off with it so i did another and it will be in the mail in the morning. Josh

not sure about the needle and awl machine Steve would now about that, but I do know that my cobra is to me the best thing since water. it works like a champ and is a beauty. my two cents. Josh PS Steve how doing buddy!

Yes you can! How ever I common mistake is that oil dye is oil? Ha not at all try thining it with a oil thinner it's a higher grade achool base dye. Josh

Yes they have pre mixed that's what I am talking about but. I think you should try abn's way.

Howdy and welcome. I have a laundry list of ways to get this effect in fact a devoted a hole time perfecting this effect. First off ABN is real close a few miner changes I would make. If you have air brush we are talking a hole new ball game but let's talck other methods and asume you don't have a airbrush. To get this look you need at least four steps. Step one: apply a light color I use tan mixed with a slight yellow color ( please use acholl dye) mix half achool half dye and apply. Step two: use the same color but no achool and apply work from the edges to the middle this is a done by a loaded dauber on the edges and a all but dry as you reach the middle. Step three: lightly oil the piece. Step four: apply black to the edges and work in use a white Cotten rag for this very lightly loaded Start applying and work in, in tell you are happy with the finish. Step five: buff well. Step six : spray on a finish very important! Or if you can't let dry for 48 hours Len apply a finish but not recamend. Sorry to say but this finish is a bit tricky. Good luck Josh

Howdy and Welcome there are no bad postes or leather workers show us your stuff if you want help you got it if not we are happy to just look, so go get'em Josh

Howdy all I was going through my photos and found this one, taken about two years ago. it was at the heber valley cowboy poetry gathering. from the left my younger brother me Dave and my best friend and brother caleb. I see dave about three times a year and email him when I can a great guy if you can please support his efforts. have a good one Josh

dont forget that the those feeders are great at feeding fingers through. LOL Josh

Well I am sure you can do great work with a awl and needle and two good hands as well , so think about it like this Matt and John are the best John built the moderen holster biz, so for me his word roots deep. The boss I am sure is a great machine but think pulling a handle with each stitch and maybe that's ok. Josh

The plain fact is this if you want the best machine at the best price with the best service its A homer Simpson no brainer. Cobra! Josh
