I want to watch

Beauty.

I don't have the words to do that justice.

I challenge anyone to say that isn't fine art.

Looks great.

Kate, I feel like a twit, all I can say is beautiful.

I was in Harbor freight a couple of weeks ago and took apart one of their double action airbrushes, and for the price it seems like a steal. As far as parts go, I think you'd have to buy another. I think it was 12 or 14 U.S. on sale. They also had their single action copy of the passche H on sale, but none in stock, on sale for 6 or 8 dollars U.S., I was thinking about picking one of them up to see if the parts were interchangable.

Hit it with a wire wheel, it should clean ritght up. Maybe some passes over some wet/dry sand paper over glass to keen up the edge.

Grin inducing, very nice

Understandable. Have fun.

Thank you so much Jim.

Yes, belts and straps are great applications, and the top of a holster or sheath.

That's beautiful, thanks for sharing.

So where's the recurve and shafts? Great work.

Well put storm. This week I saw IT MIGHT GET LOUD, and Jack White was commenting that he likes things to be a challenge, and if they arn't, make it one. Keep pushing. The people who are at the top of their game aren't there because they want to be on top, they want to push and play and arn't afraid to make a thousand mistakes, and grow as a result. I highly reccomend this film to anyone who loves music, Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge, three generations of top Guitarists interacting.

Wow

Well done. I really like the mini duffel bags.

I may be wrong, but I don't think any of them were on Whos Next. Denfinatly not Brian Jones tho. Great work STORM.

Big tip of the hat, sir. Beautiful.

Man, he hasn't looked that good since the '70's. Great work. Happy Holidays

You need to emphisize the pool of vomit he is laying in more clearly....

The instructions I gave have a downside, the loops can stretch out. The downside to Dave's method is if you pull out for a partial reload, the others can get loose. I did make one belt with a similar method to Dave's, but cut one end long, didn't secure it, and pull it tight when cartredges are removed. That was mentioned by Elmer Keith as one of his favorite patterns. As for books on construction related to this, pick up a copy of Al Stohlman's Making Leather Cases, Vol I. All three of these books are great for techniques and how to. Marc

Larry, You will need leather for the slide, let's say 8-9 oz, and leather for the loops, under 7 oz. The leather for the loops will have to be cut to width, any ornamantation (?) done to it, dyed (?), edges finished. There are different ways to proceed, if you want the rim of the carterage to ride on a shelf, you will have the loops sewn onto another piece of leather which is sewn to the looped slide, or the rims are stopped by the loop. The loops are sized for the cartdrige and sewn in place, do not groove on the loop side, as the leather is thin, and the strength is a plus. Then fold the piece in half, (welt or no welt) and sew. You would probably be well to give yourself an extra 1.5 inches extra on each end, after cutting to center the loops after them all, then edging. Don't be discouraged if you have one or two practice pieces. Marc

I've always been drawn to the dogs playing cards prints, and wanted to do "the last supper" with dogs.... The weekly email from Tandy had the last supper pattern.... You tell me that it's gospel, but I know it's only church. Tom Waits

I use a Paasche H (single action, what the $8.00 HF is based on) for basic finishing (single colors, topcoats). For effects I like the Aztek/Testors double action for the ease of use and ease of cleaning. It is run off a compressor with a five gallon tank with a regulator.
