    Yes, they work like cuff links, use Dwights post on how to cut the holes in the straps.
  2. chuck123wapati
    they are for straps and are about $4.00 a pop.

    I've seen those on really old straps for cameras and binoculars and such, they go thru two slots with holes, like you say in the strap and dont have anything to rivet them to. Here is a picture of some on a pack strap. ON this site they are called sabre or knapsack buttons http://blockaderunner.com/Catalog/catpg27.htm

    That canning wax idea is a pretty good one, i might have to rob the wife of a couple pounds lol.

    I was looking at that, awesome work indeed. Yea getting that curve right is kinda tricky. When i made mine i was wishing for my moms old sewing dummy, it sure would have made it much easier to get the shape around the shoulder.

    What ever you do dont try and google LOL. Seriously do you have any more info like a company name?
  12. chuck123wapati
    lol that's the biggest roach clip i ever seen don't let Cheech n Chong see that. Now for the serious its sure beautiful and like Retswerb said functional art, it would look great in anyone's house just for décor. I take it your selling those do you have a site?
  13. chuck123wapati
    wow cool find indeed and many uses. I would try to make one but i can only play one song with two chords lol.

    consider the seam type also in the overall strength a double felled seam may be a better choice.

    Now you have a story to tell the next 'friend' or close acquaintance before committing to any custom work.
  16. chuck123wapati
    yea they work great i made the switch its much easier takes just seconds now to cut a strap.
  17. chuck123wapati
    yea tandy makes a wooden one that works just fine for about 30 bucks

    I dunno but all the ones here in Wyoming I have seen have one. Horses buck and trot and do a bunch of fun things that loose guns don't do well with. they also used holsters with a full flap. also they had holsters that fit over the saddle horns and weren't worn at all.It doesn't matter really its yours to make any way you want beautiful work indeed.
  19. chuck123wapati
    those are nice.
  20. chuck123wapati
    nice work it should do you well.
  21. chuck123wapati
    They usually just had a loop around the hammer spur with this style of holster back in the day. Beautiful basket weave nice and crisp.
  22. chuck123wapati
    nice color indeed I like that.
  23. chuck123wapati
    Awesome!! I love it.
  24. chuck123wapati
    I think it takes much practice but in the meantime here's how i do it. lol I punch each piece separately from the finish side then glue using small brass brads about every inch or so to line up the holes then use an awl to clean and make sure they are in line. I use a piece of soft wood, pine, as a punching board and some beeswax for lube.

    LOL great work reminds me of a time I and a friend ran across a sleeping black bear while bow hunting.
