you can find other places i downloaded it as a free ebook.

i cant find the link to the pdf book i have but if you google Sioux moccasin pattern you will get what you need. it has hidden stitching all around. Its amazing the different styles and patterns Indians used some are so easy and end up really nice. The apache for example had a toe piece sewn in that was made out of rawhide to protect against the cactus. Mocassins Design.pdf | Shoe | Cheyenne (scribd.com)

look into some of the other moc patterns. Souix patterns are really nice! and dont have that bunched up look. I have a file but its to big to attach, i'll try to find a link or pattern for you.

I use the acrylic artist paints when i need colors not sold . The transparent colors resemble dyed and can be mixed to create your own Hue. i water them down and use washes to get the effect i want. Never tried to make my own dye except for vinegaroon which turns the leather black.

What i see is that your lacing setup tightens the leather around the gun making it to tight to pull. I would sew it so the lacing tightens the inner without tightening the outer holster. Kinda hard to explain but basically the holster needs to be attached but separate from the piece that tightens. KInda like a belt holster combo but smaller. AND>>> I just what what Dwight said and his explanation is much better than mine. So never mind lol.

i could use one of those lol

you have much more patience than me. cant wait to see this.

now thats funny!

lol you wont be alone.

so can they tell the shoulder from the bend too? lol LOL

yea plus the clip lol I'm a lefty so everything goes right over my head. My old eyes have a heck of a time with those sights.

awesome indeed. will that mount fit a Garand?

lol ya gross huh! So have you?

How many of you have licked your leather edge while burnishing? No fibbin now. I have it works great.

has anyone mentioned that you don't really need a head knife for leather. It is a great tool but can easily be replaced with any quality cutting edge. For that matter many on the forum use the replaceable blade box cutter style knives.

This bad boy waddled by the other day. Mule deer ears are about 12" long for reference. the bases of his antlers are massive.

great picture!, i take a ton of critter pics also, last year had a set of hawks nest right across the street, the younguns would fly down into the street to get water. All spring you could watch them swoop on squirrels as they crossed the road.

frame it and use it for inspiration and as something to look back upon as you progress. Its really good.

beautiful!!

ok in a real world people are allowed to disagree not darn thing wrong with that.

i use windows 10 on my computer it has a program called "photos" what i do is open them with that hold my cursor over the pic and right click , brings up a menu, click on resize and another menu opens that allows me to reduce the size, i use "best for emails and messages". rename and save in a folder. Its super easy!
