  1. Heck yea!! We make a similar dish by putting our leftover roast, gravy, potatoes, carrots etc, chopped up in a baking pan then a dozen biskets on top and bake.
  2. it might be due to the rounded corner stitch pattern and a using square corner form
  3. Man i love a good hearty stew with some fresh bread. lol i hear ya if i had to live in a city i would die, Its fianlly warm enough to start taking our morning walks, we go out of town about a mile and walk in the country, smell the fresh morning air, watch the sunrise and just get our head straight for about a hour or so sure makes the day better.

  13. i haven't applied the finish yet, it will be a couple coats of fiebings golden mink oil and a good buffing. It is a water proofing for outdoor gear.
  14. A customer wanted a western style holster for his 22 six shooter that had a cant to it and rode higher than a regular drop type holster so here is my try at it not much room on this little thing for a belt loop especially with a cant . He also wanted his old holster modified to fit it because he has two. It was for a saa and was just to large everywhere so i took an inch off the end and about 3/8 along the original stitch edge, shortened the belt loop an inch so it rides higher and re finished the edges and gave it some saddle soap lol.
  15. old? not even! old is in the mind. lol a little dust on the bottle but the wine is still sweet.
  16. Awesome indeed!!
  17. super cool idea!!! don't know if the younger folks will know what it is lol. I was of the 8 track generation , my older brother had the reel to reel. I still have one in the basement but no reels
  18. its beautiful work Stewart. today its finally warm here, the first day of the year over 45, going to be almost 60 and the birds are singing up a storm this morning. your picture is today!
  19. that croc makes em rock!!! they are awesome.
  20. So i was doing a holster today and the curvature of it was a pain in the a** to sew i couldn't see one side. So i figured i would try the two needles in one hole simultaneously trick. I've seen it done but it always felt awkward to me, i do one needle then the other. well it works well for finding your holes and helped a bunch however I still pierced the thread a couple of times right at the eye of the opposing needle and my thumb a couple times lol. But that's how a guy learns, leather work is always a new problem and a new solution with new techniques learned as we go.
  21. dream catcher that tool some time I'll bet. Its alot more intricate than the ones i have seen.
  22. I dunno but i pierced my thumb twice today does that count?
