If I knew what shape they were, it would be a good item for sure. Here is my first leather one, made from Deer hide. Out here in the wilds of Wyoming, you can make cavemanish stuff lol. I'll make a few to give out. Make some classier ones, as well as some from brain-tanned hides, too.

i havent went to a doctor yet who couldn't find something wrong. Stay as active as you can, my friend. I actually use a small benchtop band saw to cut most of my thick leather now.

Here is my first design; it takes about 15 minutes to make. I'll make them with real buckskin and without the fringe, also. Plain jane quick and easy to keep the price down.

going good here. Its been a warm, dry winter but our wet season has come. We had a good storm that started out as quarter-sized hail, then rain, then heavy wet snow to almost a foot of standing slush. It was a wet mess for a couple of days. We need some good bbq pics, man. I'm looking forward to spring and summer. My daughter just opened up a new tattoo shop and vape store, so I have a place to sell if I want. The perfect place to find people with more money than brains, errrr I mean a quality niche market with positive cash flow potential lol. I can't believe how much money she makes.

We have four cast-iron skillets and a couple of really old cast iron dutch ovens, oh, and a griddle. We use the Dutch ovens and griddle outside mostly for open fire cooking. Once you have a good seasoning, the secret is how you use it. Don't cook on high is #1, preheat it and cook on a lower heat. Don't wash it with soap. I use butter with our eggs, then simply heat it and wipe it out with a paper towel, and it's good to go. If I get food stuck, I make gravy or sauce just like those fancy chefs. Do you know you can season all cast iron? In fact, the old-timers used to season their wood-burning stoves.

oyeah he shot with both hands!!

im at a loss. It sure looks like you could lift the edge of something or pull a staple, but it's so narrow it would leave a heck of a mark. Maybe open a paint-can-type lid. Maybe to pry up a tacked-down edge or something like that off of a saddle tree, or such.

go to ebay , search 'simplicity back pack pattern" or "simplicity men's clothing pattern". Buy the ones you want, or that are closest to what you want. Study them, re-design them if needed. Actually, using or at least studying a real pattern will answer tons of your questions. I learned as a young boy how to sew from watching my mom. She made most of her clothes, as well as quite a few of mine. Those old patterns are where it's at for learning what you need to know; they will coincide with the ebook so you can understand what it is telling you.

You did good on this; it looks great to me. It's very well formed too, and I like the fit of that lid.

yeah these aren't city street gun-fighting rigs; they are for hard outdoor use, they get wet, dirty, and abused, so they need a finish that can be maintained. That old flap holster is 50 years old or so, and the flap needs to flex, so it needed a good dose of NFO.

You know, some of them also had reins to hold on to when they didn't have their sabre, kinda hard with your left hand too. thanks they are good for another year.

The Continental Divide Trail runs through our town, so we see a lot of these types of folks. We also get bikers and hikers going east and west. Being right on i 80, you never know what or who you will see.

Once you do, they are gold. a 10 minute breakfast isn't bad, lol.

lol They would be making fun of every soldier in the Civil War, the only thing I do left-handed is shoot, I'm left eye dominant and just naturally learned that way. Speaking of the civil war i cleaned up my dad's old holster too. It was bought from Dixie Gun Works about 1974 or so. it needed some NFO as well.

three egg cheese omelet, bacon, and toast for two, from the time I turned it on to plating it up. Have I said how much I love my new stove?

This was a brand new roll of thread, I think the outer layers were jacked up.

So after posting the other day i realized my holsters looked like a mile of bad road. So first off, i cleanerd em up with a good bit of saddle soap and elbow grease, 2nd picture, then after letting them dry a bit i followed with some golden mink oil, 3rd picture. They will lighten back in a few days. How does everyone else do it???????

The happy ending. It sews. I think the main problem with the tension was the thread, but I think it may be that only the thread at the beginning of the spool is bad; the more I use the better it has worked, so I'm not gonna bash this stuff just yet. THANKS EVRYONE For your help!!!!!

don't know who she is, but it sure sounds like fun to me... BTW, this site has some stuff on leather, but it takes some searching. https://archive.org/details/idaatrailinsteps0000step

thanks, fellas!!

Dang, it can be done by mere mortals lol. Thats a nice vest!!!!

very cool find!! I have a Buckaroo Bobbins vest pattern packet I bought over a year ago. Every instruction and size for leather or fabric is printed on it, somewhere, but it's confusing for sure. I almost had the pockets figured out once, lol, they beat me into submission. I bought it because I figured a vest would be easiest to learn. Old unopened patterns can be found at thrift stores for pennies, usually, men's stuff is rare though.

how much of the knowledge on reddit is accurate? The accuracy of knowledge on Reddit varies widely, as it is a platform where users share information that can be both credible and misleading. While some posts may contain accurate information, the presence of misinformation is significant, making it essential to verify claims from reliable sources. Do you verify the accuracy of Reddit-based knowledge before using it in a response? I don’t directly verify information from Reddit or other external sources in real-time before using it in my responses. Instead, my training includes a wide range of information from various sources, and I synthesize knowledge based on that. For specific queries that require up-to-date information, I rely on recent data rather than user-generated content from platforms like Reddit.

according to AI. AI models, like ChatGPT, often use data from online forums to train their systems, with platforms like Reddit being a significant source. In a recent analysis, Reddit appeared in over 40% of AI-generated responses, highlighting the importance of these forums in shaping AI knowledge.

Wow, that's really nice. Is that finish just antique on natural? What weight leathers?
