tashabear Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Nice job!It always surprised me at just how cheap their budget must have been for that show. Nothing seemed to fit right. Those who never saw "Firefly" might remember the movie version, "Serenity". The show is considered to be one of the all-time best shows that nobody watched. The title confused people, I think. I think that the "nothing fit right" thing was also part of the conceit of the show -- they made to with what they had, what they didn't have the scrounged or bodged together. Ain't broke, don't fix it. Still workin', still shiny. I don't think it was just the title that confused people. I think it was also the episodes airing out of order, the leap-frogging air times, and the lack of support of Fox for the franchise. It wasn't drawing the demographic they wanted (18-25 year old males), so rather than being grateful for the demographic they were drawing (25-30 year old females and 30-35 year old males, IIRC), they just axed a show that could have been a moneymaker for them in the long run. *sigh* Love the rig, Badger. Really, really nice work.

Members SteveBrambley Posted February 25, 2009 Members Report Posted February 25, 2009 Hi Karl, That looks like a very nice holster, I like the buckles! I've never made one myself, but my late father used to make them quite often, back in the 1960s, particularly for the guy who drew the illustrations for the western series 'Riders of the Range' in the long defunct 'Eagle' comic, I think he was called Frank Humphris.

gtwister09 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Karl, Nice rig! I really liked Firefly and Serenity. I have both sets of DVDs. Too bad it only lasted one season. Regards, Ben
Members TrooperChuck Posted February 26, 2009 Members Report Posted February 26, 2009 Karl: Great looking holster and belt. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. I agree that trying to keep the oval punches in line can be a challenge. I put a piece of tape on the front of the tool to help me keep the holes lined up. Unfortunately, I don't speak photonerd-ese, so my eyes are still a bit crossed from trying to decipher that particular post! It sounds like it was a lot of work though, with all that pushing going on. Chuck "Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." (John Wayne)
Members wildrose Posted February 26, 2009 Members Report Posted February 26, 2009 My husband's a nut about the show, we own the series, and he saw the movie (we own that too). I don't think I saw any of it...The actor from it is coming out in a new show called Castle (cop show). My husband could also go on about the new Battlestar Galactica (I didn't watch that much either) To me, in the sci fi world, nothing beat Babylon 5. BTW, great work on the rig.

Members TexasJack Posted February 26, 2009 Members Report Posted February 26, 2009 They produced a box set of DVDs of the entire run of the show, all 14 episodes, plus extras such as interviews and the like.Sold almost three quarters of a milllion sets........... A few people watched it Karl I was among those who watched it. Loved the show and the movie. Far more depth, breadth, color, and style than any other sci-fi. It was the network nitwits - the 50 IQ guys - that didn't know what to do with it.
Members ChuckBurrows Posted February 26, 2009 Members Report Posted February 26, 2009 Nice job Karl and Firefly/Serenity is an all time favorite - heck where else do you get to see a "98 pound girl" whoop butt on a whole saloon full of goons and beat up Jayne in the process......BTW - there are some fairly strong rumors of a Serenity 2 so anyone interested let Joss Whedon know........and I'm 56 - way out of the demographic although I've been a sc-fi geek since the early 60's, reading Stranger in a Strange Land at age 9 twists ones brain a bit and for tasha - I've been an on and off SCAdian since 1969.......mostly off now though - back to my first love the frontier west...... the useless little strap around the middle That strap and the overall look/feel of the holster is IMO a nod to the fast draw rigs of the late 1950's and early 1960's worn so often in the western's of the time such as Gunsmoke- a good bunch of those rigs were made by the famed holster maker Arvo Ojala (who Matt Dillon shoots in the opening credits of Gunsmoke)..... BTW - Karl did you get my email re: the trip??? if not I'll PM you......
