Well I just hadn't thought of that ........ now I can get the wife to take a pic of my ugly mug tippin my hat and use that

@GrampaJoel Thank you Sir ! Our home town jeweler that worked on them retired some years back so when I need service the search will be on .

This place needs a " TIP OF THE HAT " emoji My hat is off to you SIR !!!!!!

You know that is a good question. I don't vacuum form but I would think since you remove the air that any additional humidity wouldn't come into play , but the fact is I don't know . Will be interested to watch this one .

@Nikos69 Thank you !!

I had to google this to figure out what it was . Nicely done

Definitely some talent there

Good looking bag .

@K5HEP Thank you Sir !

+1

@MikeRock LOL!!! that is a good one @Scoutmom103 Thank you !!!! just a line 20 snap @rleather Be sure and post some pics !!! Thanks

Thanks man !

I have a pair of Carharts that doesn't have a watch pocket ( not the pair in this pic ) so this is my work around . I know not many use a pocket watch anymore and I would guess some day you won't be able to find any brand still sewing them in their pants ......... the joy of getting old and outdated

Glad you found something and look forward to the pictures .

Bert , it's just a way to get ducks and geese out of the field . Open the loops and put there heads through and cinch it down , put the cuff on the back of your neck and let the birds hang in front of your shoulders . Some folks sling it like rifle sling and the birds are now front and rear , either way it's just frees up your hands .

I lived in Co. for a little over a year and the town had a Canada Goose problem , they were every where . I also had a 24 lb Jack Russell that was my body guard ....... I left there unscathed

What's that saying about necessity being the mother of invention ......... My saying is " in a bind ,use your mind "

Yeah , waterfowl is not where one would want to " mis count " Last time I duck hunted we were on the point system but that was years back . If you were hunting any where that you could kill more than 6 birds the sliding loops would accommodate more .

You deserve the " Outside the box " award for this

Both very nice and will be cherished for years to come !!!!!!

Thanks Well it is lighter and anyone who knows a couple of knots can do a repair if needed . If I were going to do one with leather straps I would make those individual straps that could be easily be changed out and be sure and use stainless D rings and copper rivets . I have seen some that were slit straps and if one ever broke .... well just not much you can do but live with it .

for a buddy , about as simple as it gets .

Very nicely done !!!

OUTSTANDING !!!!
