Nice work I've only done Western style for Cowboy Action..It is alot of work because I do not have a machine..You can't charge enough for your time but hey it sure was satisfying to see the look on Fasts face the first time he saw em!

Lobo is so right..Dont groove the off side,snug it up with the stitch and over wheel on a hard surface.Your gonna love them holsters..Anyone who is starting in Cowboy Gear ,I will tell you of my fav Book for referance/pleasure.Packing Iron by Richard Rattenbury...Zon International Publishing Co.It's a little pricey about 45.00 But I was using it so much that I purchased a second one to put away!I hope everyone who appriciates art in leather can look that book over.That is what floats my boat!

WOOD...Thats what I'am talkin about! Nuthen better than good steel/brass wrapped in fine lookin Hand made Hide!! Great work I've gotta get to work...I've got way to much S/B around that needs something to hang around in!

Great work ,I am into guns and do a lot of Holsters..Have yuo thought of making some of those for sale? I would be interested in some .45 Colt and .44-40 colt ..could be a classy dress up used in the right places!!

Welcome aboard..I am new to this sight as well...But it seems like agreat group of careing people who will help.Im up here in the Old Line State.

Well I've spent the last hour reading everyones history...It is so great to know something about you folks!I have spent 39/8 providing Electricity to the Nations Capital..DC.They packaged me out in 04.Rehired me in 06 cause they didnt have any available experienced Bla bla blas.Meet some new folks building /rebuilding SubStaions...They hired me as GF.Back to work,teach them to stay alive until they are old and brokedown like me!That way they can teach the next group.Viet Vet Father,Grandfather,Husband.Mentor of some young folks whose parents didnt do so well.Love the craft I still have alot to learn.I've been doing mostly shooting related leathergoods for fun not much profit!Still get alot of satisfaction from it.Auther Rightass has jumped into my bones so that is why I need amachine to continue all this fun!!!Thanks for listening....I gotta stop now my left hand is nummmmmm!

Looks good you are on your way!I use that British tan a lot and everyone seems to love it,requesting maching gear.

This may sound silly, but I have a broken heavy Glass jar edge that works just great! You may have break a few to get that piece that works with one to four passes but it works so well you wont believe it!!After a little practice on the angle of approach it is slik.

Oh I forgot to ask where did you the great stamp ? It gives it a pro look! ? ?

No need to get up courage that nice work I like it..simple,clean with good colors

I can ship your ship anywhere in this great flat world!Well I think it went something like that?..I'll ship it!

Gordon graham but they are pricey....gordongrahamknives.com.I think you are talking about Damascas folded steel!

Old timers used plug tobac in vinager to make a stain for long rifles,sometimes soaking string in it and wrapping the stock,that why you see lines on the early Pa long arms.

What kind of $ to get set up in a machine like that?I am still sewing by hand and the time is so incredible it's hard to be profitable1

1911,some glock,Single Action Colts,Clones of Colts.

Welcome to the board.I am new to the foram as well but feel at home already!It is an active site with alot of talented craftspersons.i hope you can get everything you need here.How much of a problem getting supplies in Norway?

I would be interested as well,it's one of the more tedious chores,but it finishes the project so well.I would like the shaft to be 3/8 to 7/16" to be strong enough to chuck in my Drill Press.Verticle shaft motors would probably be larger maybe 1/2-9/16".Please keep us informed how the R&D is going, I will purchase a soundly designed wheel.

Great Work that design would have another application in my Game Single Action Shooters....To cover my Dbl Barrel Shotgun Tubes when it's in the gun cart!Check out SASS to see another world of uses for leather.

Sorry I forgot to say that McMastersCarr in NJ has a great cat. and ship like yesterday!!

I've used brass shim stock in Holsters,Sheaths even Specticle cases.It does require that you line the project though,but it makes it practicaly crush proof,Reholstring is a breeze!

Nice work clean design,Rounding and Burnishing the edges with Gum Trag will give it a more finished look.The dyed background would also kick butt!

Dixie,You can find the answers and alot of info from the Weaver Leather catalog.The shoulders are not very large so that limits the length of any project.Get the cat. an let us know what else you need! Also...Welcome to the group!!

Thanks Twinoaks,My 15 yearold GD just flew though a picture forwarding maze to send a pic of a project I am working on.It's a Brass lined sheath for Cold Steels Lorado bowie knife.This blade of Carbon V steel is so sharp it cuts it's way out of the Factory supplied sheath in about a second!So I designed this case with a Brass Liner of Shim Stock material.Culmination of several month's work delayed by the one inch slash that this opened up on my right palm!!! I sewed it up myself but it took a while to heal,luckily there is not too much nearve damage,Remember to handle Sharp Tools an Impliments with care!I will enroll in Med School if I servive afew more months in this Hobby!

Here are the pictures thanks to my granddaughter, Ashlie, who pulled my bacon out of the fire again. I hope your critique is not too hard on me. Sorry it took so long. this is probably the last pictures your going to get because my granddaughter is going back to NC today.: http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp205/r...LoradoBowie.jpg http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp205/r...oradoBowie2.jpg
