Hey Rodney! I have never been a bareback rider but have contributed to a few pots, though. I really don't think that your riggin' would be a good place to skimp or DIY. I think it would be a cool project. I really wish you the best! JM2C, Jim

That might be because "Joe Kidd" was set in the early 1900's. JM2C, Jim

Me too. Only about 45 years.

Sorry for my part. I had my jackass pants on that day. Jim

Nice work! Dang how much training till you make journeyman mucker???? Is there a chance of advancement to fecal relocation specialist? You've got me thinking about a new career path.

I agree. Attractive, not too complicated. It looks to me like the laced area is raise a little. Like maybe another thickness of leather in the "trident" or horseshoe with a line up the middle including the area with the closure strap. This would also aid in preventing the lacing from distorting the piece. JM2C, Jim

Agreed! It is heartening to find this level of service and commitment. JM2C, Jim

I think it is primarily for cooling.

Sorry. I was quoting a line out of "Have a Cigar".

By the way, which one's Pink?

The guys that I have made them for like about an inch or so of the handles(scales) in the sheath for better retention. Most of these guys are "cowboys" of one form or another. The rest of their lives are a bit rough and tumble. This helps the knife to still be there when they need it. JM2C, Jim

A bit off topic: I just wonder what your neighbors thought your were up to peeking in your window?? Cool old machine! Wish I had one. Jim

This is one "heathen" that appreciates the gesture. Thanks

Agreed! Bob sells Cowboy sewing machines and the 4500 is supposed to be very close to a class 4. I bought my 4500 from him and am very pleased with it and the service. Jim

Maybe SLICKIFY???
