  1. i like handles on my tools. and i prefer to buy good used vintage or antique tools for lifetime use, they are for the most part better made than the Chinese copies. Japanese knives made in Japan being the exception, they make excellent steel. IMO.
  2. these are very cool , make great use of scraps and and excellent practice. Now you gotta make make Yosemite Sam
  3. off to the races!!! lookin good so far, are the handles far enough forward to balance the gun?
  4. vinegaroon then Angelus pearlescents paints in greens, blue, and purple very lightly brushed on brush it on very lightly and wipe immediately
  5. your attention to detail is awesome you took as much time on the back as the front and that belt loop and stitching is proof positive beautiful knife too btw those scales rock..
  6. AS we used to say at the shop I'll throw the bulls@*t flag on that one. fine knife work!!!!
  7. i have a new way for me, i use a large round punch either 1 " or 1 1/4" dont remember but i use very light pig suede and punch out a piece then glue it to the hoodicky, wrap the edges around so they are pinned underneath when its set. i like it much more than adding a chunk o plastic.
  8. that's a nice rig alright, my dad used to carry a 44 bulldog as his service weapon.
  9. it came out great! imo the tongue might be a smidge long.
  10. you did good there ! Both are very nice!!
  11. Dang man your doing some fine work!!!
  12. so you gonna pull those guns or whistle Dixie? lol Josie carried Colts that's a Remington new army 1858 ,doesn't matter to the leather though they will pack either one and they are awesome my friend!!!
  13. Dang nice work man Now the belt? twins gotta stick together.
  14. kind of a thin skinned feller.
  15. yup redneck for sure and a talented one at that.
  16. Ive attached the pommels in different ways with screws or pins but i always replace that soft punk with good hard wood so it will hold. Its a tiger to get a through tang in some of the antlers with the bends in them without hogging out the whole antler. On full size knives i pin the tang also. Always trying to make them better. Thank you i really appreciate that!
  17. those are fine looking indeed!!
  18. lol it would fit great in your back pocket and work great too for helping folks understand what your sayin.
  19. good question i drilled out the soft part of the antler and glued in a wooden plug then silver soldered a wood screw to the endcap and screwed it on.
  20. well thank you, on the tool i imagine it would this was actually my first time using it except for some practice and i got kind of lucky and the length of the stamping came out correct on the side so the pattern fit almost perfectly, across the top i could see it didn't fit so i just stopped after the hearts. i would love to say i planned that lol.
  21. sweet I haven't seen that site they have some nice stamps.
  22. wowzers that is really fine work indeed. i like that stamp too where did you get it?
