"when I was a young man my neighbor lost his testicles because of a loose apron."
What???? Was there a hole in his wifes apron pocket sounds like the beginning of a Rodney Dangerfield joke lol.
thanks for posting those they are beautiful. I have always loved beadwork, never was good at it lol i did a couple little pieces on my possible bag.
God bless you i needed some good feeling today.
those came out really nice indeed. I'm more of a plain dresser myself. I love those dogs, i have had four labs in my day they will always be in my heart.
Thanks I feel the same as you, i love working with antler and brass, they are my favorites for handles and what i use most often. hopefully i can get some time for more knife making, holsters have been keeping me busy.
My original 1911 pattern is getting tweeked alot but seems like it can take it. Two Browning .22 autos. I have made about six different patterns from it, these were the hardest by far.
that will make a wonderful tool heck yea pretty it up with some nice wood or antler if you have access and a new brass or copper ferrule. You need the ferrule because it fits tightly on the wood, the blade shank is slightly larger than the hole in the handle, as its forced in the hole it expands the wood and tightens the ferrule and shank together. the ferule keeps the handle from splitting instead of tightening.
LOL you eat that crap? I boycoted eating garbage years ago. I boycot now anything and anyone pro vax mandate. Dont really care about the smoke screen we caused.
thats where i get mine lol. some tools are pretty hard to replicate at home but most aren't If you have time search through the threads on leather tools there are alot of homemade ideas.
