Members Dwight Posted May 20, 2010 Members Report Posted May 20, 2010 I let a guy buy my own personal rig off my shoulder about a year ago, . . . and just could not get myself all psyched up for a new one for me. I just looked at your tutorial, . . . that may have all changed, . . . I think I can see a 3:10 rig in my future. I have several of your pattern packs, Will, . . . never been disappointed in any of them (other than I can't make what I want to make fast enough to suit me). May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
Members WillGhormley Posted May 25, 2010 Author Members Report Posted May 25, 2010 Hey Guys, Glad you're enjoyin' the "Hand of God" "How-To". I just finished the third page, dealin' mainly with braidin' the hammer tie-down. Since hammer tie-downs weren't typical to 1800 gunleather, I had to design it so it would hide away during close-ups. So, I braided the string for it so it would be flexible and have some give to it. I attached it on the back-side of the holster so it could be tucked between the holster and the belt for those close-ups. I think I did see it stickin' out in one of the close-ups, but, for the most part, the kept it invisible. http://www.willghormley-maker.com/MakingHOGRig.html Will Quote Exploit your Strengths, Compensate for your Weaknesses!
MADMAX22 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Ouch, that looked like it hurt. Did the same thing with my french edger but to my thumb, let it get out infront of it. I think the darn thing ricocheted off the bone lol. Edited May 25, 2010 by MADMAX22 Quote

Members dmr400 Posted June 2, 2010 Members Report Posted June 2, 2010 Mr. Ghormley, Thank you for sharing your process with us. Very much appreciated. I brought several collections of western movies home from Iraq with me and have been watching them the last few days as I've kind of been under the weather, and 3:10 was one of the last ones I watched. Very inspiring. Quote andy@pfgunleather.com "www.pfgunleather.com"-Under Construction, Coming Soon!
Members WillGhormley Posted June 3, 2010 Author Members Report Posted June 3, 2010 dmr400, Thanks for your kind words, but your service to our country is what is inspiring! I spent 12 years in the Infantry serving my country. While I don't agree with what the government is doin' any more, I still back our soldiers, sailors and airmen, 100%. And, as a grandfather, I will still gladly sacrifice myself, my children, and my grandchildren to defend our nation's Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. On a more cheery note, the HOG Rig pattern will be goin' to the blueprint shop Friday. It should be in the mail next week for all who pre-ordered the pattern.
