Ray: +1 Water buff horns come in a variety of colors from nearly gray, to brown, to the black like in the photos you posted. Arturo

Steve: Thanks for checking in here and I'm glad the Wickenburg show went well for you. I have been trying to contact you via email through your website for several days but for some reason I keep getting an "undeliverable" message. I'll PM you with some questions through this forum. Thanks again, Arturo

Trooper Chuck: Do you remember the Hank Williams song; There's a Beer in my Steer? Ha Ha! Arturo

go2Tex: I wasn't always just a Harley jockey and I can tell you this guy had that steer doing things like a sure enough reining horse! He had a pretty good "tourist trap" going too by letting people climb up on ole "Tex" and have their picture taken. Arturo

Ruthless: Is that an Irish pit bull, Australian pit bull, or an American pit bull? In any case it is beautiful dog with a very nice collar! Arturo

How do you know you are riding your motorcycle in Texas? There is a guy on a Longhorn steer in the bike parking lot! I just had to post this; my riding buddy and I made a quick stop in Lukenbach to see what Willie and Waylon and the boys were up to. Arturo

Hammer: If I am looking at the right photo on the site you referenced you would use 3/16" lace and punch 3/16" holes on about 5/8" centers. I'm just guessing here so do a little experimentation with the hole spacing. Anyway, to create the "X" effect just pass your lace through the top and out the bottom until you reach the end of the first pass. When you reach the end just continue doing the same thing in the other direction and that will "X" the lace. I hope this makes sense, I've been on my bike all day with no ear plugs and my ears are ringing so loud I can't hear myself type! Another good resource is the book, Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding. There are several edge braiding tecniques in the book that would cover the pan edge and still give the over all "X" efffect. Also, check this site out; http://www.btinternet.com/~kingsmerecrafts/page96.html , there are some good round edge lacing techniques described and depicted. You will have to dig around the site a bit to find what you are looking for but it is there. Arturo

Hammer: I know a fair amount about motorcycle seats but can't visualize what you are referring to. Can you find a picture on the net somewhere and post it here? Aturo

Cool seat! Am I oilfield trash? Wait, I'm your Dad, I must be oilfield trash!

Ya'll: Just FYI; I emailed the seller and they said the machine was purchased used over a year ago but no one has ever verified wether or not it will actually sew. Arturo

Pete: Super Glue is a CA (cyanoacrylate) product and you canget it anywhere. It works really well to "sew" cuts in your fingers back togeather as well although it does burn a little at first! Arturo

I don't know what a "cyber squatter" is but you are right, .org not .com. Thanks'
