Jim Report post Posted July 17, 2011 Hi boys and girls! After a bout with having to eat lots of beans and drinking cheap coffee, things have turned around to allow me to be back in good company. So . . . . what did I miss? Jim R. Simmons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Craw Report post Posted July 18, 2011 Hey Jim! Welcome back. I was flipping through an old Hidecrafter's catalog when I saw all of your pattern books and I realized we hadn't heard from you in a long while. I hope your absence was for something fun and exciting and not helping a bunch of doctors pay off their big foreign cars!! Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Report post Posted July 23, 2011 Well shucks, it's a long story I won't bore you with, but I will sat that betwwen bugs, thugs, and crooked bosses I had stuff to deal with. But, the good always wins at the end of the day. I'm back in the oil field training drivers, operating a winch truck, and hauling frac tanks. Currently I'm applying to the Safety Department with Nabors. If all goes well, I'll be the guy in the clean hard hat for a change. A couple of years ago I started some new holster patterns with some cut tooling patterns to go with them. They have been sitting on the shelf with no place to go, but being I have a new computer and am back on line, I think I know where to send them. I plan to post them on the Leatherworker site very soon for all to enjoy. As for the cut patterns, I would welcome any and all comments on the designs. My schedule has me putting in 12 to 15 hours a day at work with every other weeked off, so I apologize in advance for slow responses. I look forward to getting back in the game with my favorite bunch of folks. See ya'll soon. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
