Never argue with a stupid person. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!

Frank, just giving credit where it is due. I tool a little and the level of foresight and your steady hand amaze me. Even my most carefully thought out pieces seem to have more than a few hitches!

To Chuck, that rig just blew a gasket on my end. I have no interest in learning to carve but WOW!

Can someone explain to the Americanly-challenged what a "BBQ Rig" is?

I'm assuming it's another term for an off-duty rig?

When I saw bbq rig, I was thinking toolbelt to hold tongs, sausage pricker and steak flipper!

Lovely leatherwork though!

There are roughly 40 states that allow Americans to carry guns openly, although with restrictions such as with a license and not in certain locations. Here is a map showing how prevalent Open Carry is:

http://www.opencarry.org/opencarry.html

In those Open Carry friendly states, gun carriers are making their rigs look more upscale and attractive. In the old days (like 5 years ago), everyone carried in simple black leather or kydex holsters. Now, everyone wants exotic skins and unique designs to show off. A BBQ rig is the show off holster and gun combination. Its an excellent trend that will make carrying guns more acceptable to the public.

Did that help?

I think those would be for a grilling rig. Barbecue is low and slow. A beer holster might work well.

Nice stuff.

I especially like your designs and quality of workmanship. Herman-Oak or W&C? That is a great looking piece of leather with a great color and finish.

Did you stitch after stamping your edge?

Thanks Ferg, yes I stamped the belt, added the spots, then stitched it.

In a nutshell, what he meant to say was - It's something you would wear to a BBQ while sitting around with friends, grilling meat, smoking cigars and talking smart :D
