  1. Sorry. I was quoting a line out of "Have a Cigar".
  2. By the way, which one's Pink?
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. This is one "heathen" that appreciates the gesture. Thanks
  6. 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
  7. Maybe SLICKIFY???
  8. I don't really know anything either but think it's a good looking saddle. I have an old RT Frazier but it is in a lot worse condition(think falling apart).
  9. @Tigweldor, I don't have any answers for you but that is one sweet pedal! I think it'll look great on your machine! JM2C, Jim
  10. @Ledhep Welcome to the forum from someone that is not too far away(geographically, at least). Jonas gave you some good, sound advice. You'll always know exactly where your own flaws are but learn to fix what you can, when you can and accept what you can't. I too am self taught, which sometimes leaves holes in my skills. You can get a free video from Elktracks Studio, here https://elktracksstudio.com/collections/videos?page=8 . It's just an introductory but had some things I had overlooked or forgotten. They have sales from time to time. I bought several for my granddaughter during on sale. She is interested in learning, although quite busy. Hope some of this helps. JM2C, Jim
  11. Bob, I find it surprising too but I think you actually do need one. There has been much debate (in Texas) about "Constitutional Carry". I actually think much of the resistance is due to the influx of "liberals" into the larger cities (DFW, Houston and Austin). I'm really not trying to be political here. I wouldn't have known it either but my oldest son lives in the Texas panhandle. JM2C, Jim
  12. @Brokenolmarine , I'm not sure but I think that Texas Oak may be the same double shoulders that Traditions Leather in Oklahoma City carries. The owner told me that it is US hides, tanned in Mexico. He seemed to really like the stuff and had some of it that Jim Linnell carved when he taught a class there. It looked very good but I think maybe Jim could make chalk on a sidewalk look good. I'm glad that Maker's could help you out. JM2C, Jim Dunn
  13. @rktaylor Randy, Thank you! Jim
  14. When I first saw it, I thought "emasculator" but seeing the jaws together made me doubt that. There have been many versions of that tool through the years.
