@Dan Miller That is rely nice and its great its still in the family. Looks like a pretty nice canoe too :-)

Please let us know !

Try it out who knows may be you'll find the next great thing

I like what you've done here. It looks very useable, if a bit tough to buckle. The support for the wrist seems to be just where it needs to be !

Looks good! That's a nice color, it dose look a lot like walnut. Do you know where he got wooden grips?

That's really nice. Never thought to make an avenger type sheath but I just might try one now!

I'm sorry to hear that. I was lucky to get partial use of my legs back but its a lot of hard work. Please give my best wishes to your friend. I think your on the right track, If I can be of any help just ask!

I'm well aware of the chrome hand wheels and you are correct that the contamination is not as great, I use one my self. Being a paraplegic I just wanted to point out that we don't always feel the damage until its to late. I don't always make myself clear either.

You should also note that any moisture on the ground gets to the hand wheels and carries dirt and grit with it. It's not only uncomfortable bot can lead to blisters and infection. Good luck and please keep us updated.

These stains come from the tannins reacting with iron. If the fittings are plated, solid brass, or stainless steel you should be fine.

Wow that's some good looking stuff right there! Good idea using the colors to keep track of your thoughts if you don't get to tool for a while.

That's looking good so far ! I'm all so trying to learn this, and have found Don Gonzales has some good videos on you tube, . His latest Y.T. vid. is about flow in Sheridan stile. His web site has a bunch also.

Thanks Bro!

Amen brother.

Cool, I hope this works out for you.

I've been trying to figure a way to carry . Two years ago today I had a spinal cord injury and lost the use of everything from the waste down. I've been able to slowly regain the ability to walk short distances but still need a chair much of the time. Your rig looks like it should be comfortable and hang tight enough to still run a manual wheelchair. If you don't mind I might try to copy your pattern :0)

AWSOME, I'm very impressed!! (have you seen the tattoo section on this site?)

You explained this perfectly

You don't need to grind them but you need to have a lot of hulls. I would start with a 4 qt. duchoven heaped wit hulls in a big pot with enough water to just cover. Let this stand over night then bring to a hard boil the simmer covered for several hours, may be 4 or 5. Only add enough water so you don't worry about burning. It's best to do this outdoors if you can. Let it stand over night with water about half way up the hulls. Strain off the hulls and reduce to about half. Cool it and try it on some scrap. If its too light reduce more, if its too dark add water. Good luck and please share your results!

I like that your stitch lines stay tight to the firearm every thing says tighter with break in. That panel on the shoulder rig is interesting, dose it help keep the swing under control with body movement?

Looks good Gunny ! Welcome and thanks for your service

I wondered about the holes around the outside, now it makes sense.

Great first project The colors came out nicely.

I like it! Its way better than any I've been able to scratch out so far.
