  1. lol where I live in Wyoming on, I-80, I have had packages go through my town twice before they get delivered, ups has a main hub in Colo. so any thing goes there first, if its from the west coast it goes through town to Colo. then back. Sometimes UPS will get it here then drop it in our towns mail which now gets sorted in Cheyenne then back again and delivered by USPS. If its fed ex they have a place in SLC so if its from east of me it goes right through town and then back again, once it went from the east coast to Salt Lake then back to Cheyenne then back again to me. Tracking systems are great but life was less stressful when you didn't know this stuff it was just the old 4 to 6 weeks and you were elated when they got to you sooner.
  2. looks to be southwestern or even from Mexico Yes looks to be south western or even from Mexico, the designs in the center are hard to make out but it sure is a cool old wallet. DOH just noticed it says Mexico right on it next to the initials doesn't it?lol.
  3. I like how you created depth in your work. Very nice job!
  4. change the pic keep the memories my baby girl is 38.
  5. nice stuff!! I haven't seen any brown ones if you can find them with no finish and they are plain steel then there is a product called plum brown made by birchwood casey, I believe, for black powder rifle barrel blueing. Very easy to use and makes a nice chocolate brown finish.
  6. you can upload them if you resize them smaller to be under the 1.46gb.
  7. That will be interesting getting it down that low of rpm, is the patcher 1 to 1, one turn of the handle to one stitch?
  8. If it is for real use in the field then a single removable adjustable strap that can be thrown over either shoulder or worn however she likes, and a belt loop as well would be my choice as there is no real problem for the wearer to remove it from her back if necessary to remove the machete. It would be more functional I think for her in a daily work situation. Most of the on the back knife or sword stuff you will google has the ninga mentality lol if you will to make them look cool or "tactical" but not really functional in a daily work process. You may also google traditional arrow quivers to get ideas as they are used much the same way either slung over the back or worn on the belt.

    Scrapy

    very cool reuse!
  10. I see that motor has a variable rpm knob. Can you adjust that to a max speed then use a foot pedal also for variable speed up to that set point? Very nice motor for the price!
  11. yes! and why civil war holsters were worn on the right side but made for left handed cross draw, they used their strong arm, right, for the sabre and the left for the pistol lol, not that it has a darn thing to do with this. lol
  12. Yea that's nice!!!
  13. Those are some nice tools indeed!
  14. use a welt so the blade doesn't cut the thread. I think how she were to wear it would decide that, the strap could do either shouldn't be a problem.
  15. I think because thats why they joined this awesome forum. They get real life people with real life experience, like you, instead of the possibility of someone that just was hired and doesn't have a clue, says bring it in, send it to us, etc. if its a simple fix like a misaligned belt they may not tell you that, they may sell you a new motor. When you fix a problem yourself you then have gained valuable knowledge and understanding , when you have someone else fix it they have the knowledge and you have a bill every time it breaks.
  16. That's a nice design gotta make!!
  17. WOW if I had a wallet like that I would have to wear it around my neck on a string so everyone could see it!!!! It surely would never see my ass pocket. You are an amazing artist!
  18. purdy!!! fix er up!
  19. Thank you , its my own pattern, I only had two buckles at the time and haven't found any patterns that use less than three so I came up with this. The stamping is only two stamps, a veiner and a small mules foot, matches my suspenders lol, oh and a background tool on the breast plate. I've been thinking a bit and have a better idea for the buckles to set in the middle of her back instead of on the right side. An H shaped piece that has 4 slots for the belts to go through so the buckles can be centered on her back and she would be protected from them and the leash loop also. I'll post another picture soon when I finish that piece.
  20. Looks great ! I would have run the stitching up around the curves of the frame and trigger guard a bit closer, it may loosen up there a bit.
  21. I quoted your comment maybe I didn't understand what you were saying were you calling the companies offenders or the newbys? If your reference was about companies being the offenders then I apologize for the mistake and agree with your comment whole heartedly. Sucks to buy something and get nothing!
  22. I don't think anyone here is a willful offender any more than you are don't forget you are the one who ordered 1000 bucks worth of that bad leather and kept it( they won, to them you are just one of the fish in line and they care not your experience level) . We are all in this together friend so please quit blaming everyone else it doesn't help anything but create animosity, all we can do as a group of like minded consumers is stick together learn from each other and call these companies out when needed to realign their thinking. I will surely help with that any time I don't have a problem pissing people off I spent years as a manager buying product from large companies and dealing with small people trying to screw me, I do have a problem with quality products and am not afraid to say it, you get your message to the right person and it will change. I don't need the stress and waste of time and money of wondering if I get good product over the phone or internet from a company that says they sell the best.
  23. Keep us posted I'm interested in this stuff! heres my sewing machine lol, well one of them.
  24. lol yup more like he has his nose on the doe, they put off a scent during their estrus cycle that makes these old boys follow em around like lovesick puppies.
  25. really beutiful work friend, I didn't know you folks in Russia used American currency or is that just for the pictures?
