Sanch Report post Posted July 22, 2011 Thank you all for the kind words, this will be my last work for a while the day after I gave this to dad my shop burned in a bit of a freak fire. I am finding out how much of a loss I have on my hands. But above all else I have had a very humbleing expierience that taught me some very obvious lessons about myself and my shop setup. I was very blessed that I was able to get the fire out in time to save my 1974 FLH HD and my mechanics tools sadly I am looking at replacing my leatherworing tools my awls, stitching groovers, etc..etc are a loss. I am happy to report that my stamping tools were protected in a case. sorry to rant and sob.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warpe Report post Posted July 23, 2011 I like that holster....you did a fine job on it. Sorry to hear about your shop. That is actually one of my biggest fears (fire in the shop) since i also gunsmith and i have plenty of flammables around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking Queen Report post Posted July 25, 2011 Beautiful work on the holster. Derringer is a cutie too. (I know, guns aren't supposed to be "cute" but this one is) I'm sure your Dad appreciates both very much. I'm so very sorry to hear about the shop loss. It's always a learning experience when one goes through a situation such as this. I hope you are able to rebuild quickly and get back to leatherworking. Now, I must go out and buy a FIRE EXTINGUISHER, for my shop! Never quite thought about one before this post. Yeesh! Take care, and once again, I'm sorry you're going through this. Sob away, it sure can help make you feel better. Blessings, Viking Queen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
