MADMAX22 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Very nice looking belt and excellent job on the inlays. That does look like alot of stitching. Cool gun also, those are pretty rare arent they. I havnt heard anyone talk about those since I was a kid lol. Quote
Members carljc72 Posted August 1, 2009 Members Report Posted August 1, 2009 Oh my...that is amazing. I love the rig. Very nice. Carl Quote
Members jbird Posted August 1, 2009 Members Report Posted August 1, 2009 Dave thats just stunning work you are a very good artist. Thanks for sharing. Josh Quote
MADMAX22 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Question for ya, on the holster and other inlays did you double up the leather over the whole thing or just behind the inlay? It doesnt look like there is any stitching accross the top of the holster. Do you rely on glue to hold the double layer of leather if you use that. Thanks. Quote
Members DCKNIVES Posted August 1, 2009 Author Members Report Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks everyone. Max, yes I use a full piece, fully glued and it is sewn around the inlay only, and of course on the side.I only do stitching where the stresses are.On your question about the Wildey, they are not real common but this guy has three, this one and one with a 10" barrel and another with a 14" barrel.Dave Quote

Members DCKNIVES Posted August 30, 2009 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks everyone.Dave Quote
Members TomLine Posted September 5, 2009 Members Report Posted September 5, 2009 This rig is amazing. The inlays. I like the pattern you applied to the retention thong. A little western phen-shey, I'd add a silver tip to the belt. Quote
Members DCKNIVES Posted September 14, 2009 Author Members Report Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks Tom, the retention strap was patterned after the billet ends. It was originally set to go with a silver tip but he increased the size on everything and went with 2" billets then changed his mind on the tip.I was getting changes all through this build.Dave Quote
Members Shorts Posted September 14, 2009 Members Report Posted September 14, 2009 I'm just now looking at this. My head spins and I feel that swamped feeling thinking about the time it probably took to build such a work Incredible! Quote
