Brazos Jack Report post Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Here is a gift for all y'all! This is a pattern set for Pommel Bags from the mid 1800"s I made some time back. For anyone who has a copy of Packing Iron, you may recognize these cuz that is what inspired the pattern. Remember: when you have these printed tell them to set the Page Scaling to NONE! Enjoy and show off them pictures!

Brazos Jack Report post Posted April 13, 2013 It was a labor of love, I'll tell you that - mostly because I said to myself "Self, I'd love to make one of those!" I made the one in the photo in 1998 and displaed them at various shows until one day in Illinois a fellow came in the tent and said "I want THAT!" Didn't ask the price and didn't care. He was decorating his office in Old West decor and said it was the perfect item to have. The patterns which were made on beer carton and cereal box sat in a box with many others until I decided to put it on paper and get it where it would the most good - in the hand of folks like you! It's just one of many unpublished patterns that I intend to post here for download. So keep an eye out folks, there's more where these came from! Enjoy!

mrdabeetle Report post Posted May 6, 2013 That is cool! Thanks for sharing! I don't do western stuff often, but the assorted strap billet designs will be cool to use on other projects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandallFlagg Report post Posted May 9, 2013 what thickness of leather is used to make one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted May 9, 2013 looks to me like it is 6-7 Oz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brazos Jack Report post Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) what thickness of leather is used to make one? I used 8 ounce leather and recommend that wieght for the pouch and flap. The gusset can be made of the lighter 6 - 7 ounce. Jim Edited May 11, 2013 by Brazos Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted September 27, 2013 Ya the patterns worked very good.I did not deviate from your instructions so everything went together nicely I did use harness leather for everything as I mentioned to you except I used 2-3 oz Veg tan for the lining. I have to say that harness leather is a pleasure to work with, that stuff is like sewing butter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brazos Jack Report post Posted September 29, 2013 I have a stack of unpublished patterns sitting on the shelf but they are too darn big (file wise) to post on the forum. Mexican Loop Holsters, Shot Shell Slides, Bullet Slides for Cowboy Action Shooting, and the list goes on. My wife talked me into going to the gun show here in Snyder a couple of weeks ago and met up with some Cowboy Shooters and got persuaded to sign up and shoot. It was a great chance to pull my gun rig out of retirement and made another shot shell slide last week end to get fully geared up. Last friday I went to Dudley, texas and bought myself a genuine Henry Repeater in .45 Long Colt. He ordered a Coach Gun for me to pick up as soon as it gets here, so looks like I'm coming out of retirement for leatherwork cuz now I need some scabbards! Enough rambling though, But when I can figure out how to down size the file size, I will be posting mor pattern for you fine folks. And thanks to everyone for your continuing support, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
