Elton Joorisity Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I built these for my parents. They have been hounding me to make them something since I started. I modified tooling patterns from Capriola's to my liking and a little more to my own style. And this might sound crazy but I stamped the ranch name on the one with the brand crooked on purpose...I had to give my dad something to pick at!!

Members andystevens Posted May 20, 2008 Members Report Posted May 20, 2008 Very nice! Quote Andy Stevens www.andystevens.net
Ambassador pete Posted August 17, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted August 17, 2008 did you make the beader by sharpening it? Did you heat it to use or just case and push? How did you attach the rings with no screws showing? Could you post a picture of the inside ? thanks you are an inspiration! pete Quote
Members KWT Posted April 17, 2009 Members Report Posted April 17, 2009 When you stitched the pieces together for this project, did you use a machine or did you hand stitch it? The stitching is beautiful. I do not have a machine and have a hard time getting my stitches even and professional looking. Quote Everyone seeks happiness!
