  1. Thanks for the kind words
  2. I'm in the Bighorns. About a mile away from Kings saddlery. That's funny you mention that, I've done them both ways, I like the looks of the sharp edge better. Thanks for all the kind words.
  3. Ive always wanted a "lone ranger" looking rig but didnt want to spend a lot of money on two 45 cal pistols in chrome so, I picked up a couple of silver wrangler .22lr pistols to play with. Im still new to dots but knew the black on ivory with chrome dots would have a lot of contrast so I ran with it.
  4. Finding one that fits my needs was impossible. My needs are to have access to the paper notebook and the electronic notebook at the same time, most amazon items I found had access to one or the other at a time. Plus with the help of velcro I can tip it up Aframe style for leisure serfing.
  5. Thanks for the welcome
  6. So am I on track for a 2 year Apprentice?
  7. Thanks I'm used to using search engines. Years ago I used to moderate a very busy Firearms website(I sympathize with all moderators). I'm sure I'll ask some stupid questions that have already been covered but it will likely be due to no knowing the proper terminology for the thing I'm looking for. I'll apologize now. There is a large resource of information here, every time I start looking for something I wind up going down a deep rabbit hole and still not seeing what I'm looking for. This is like watching YouTube. LOL 6 days later I remember that I need to get some sleep. Lol
  8. I always line my holsters regardless. The rough side of leather is hard on the finish of the pistol. I just started using dots, I've never liked too much bling but am starting to see the benefits. I've been using domed rivets but be prepared to buy twice as many as you think your going to need and keep in mind, they always seem to be in low quantities when I need some. Another thing to remember is to keep them positioned far enough away from the foot of your sewing machine so you don't crush them. Ask me how I know that. I've had to hand stitch in some areas because they were too close.
  9. I'm still looking around and haven't seen it yet but I'm sure I'll find it TY
  10. Hello from Wyoming I still consider myself a newby to leatherworking even though I started about 2 years ago. I've learned about all I can on youtube but think I can learn more directly communicating with the pros on here. I mostly do leatherworking as a hobby for gifts and especially enjoy building holsters and recently a couple scabbard. Its a great hobby during our long cold winters. Lol.
