Members Jackdawe Posted August 7, 2015 Members Report Posted August 7, 2015 We needed something to be a show piece for our stall - so Pete asked me what he should make? As he used to run a Country and Western shop and used to make gun rigs I suggested he make one. He didn't take much pursuading as he had been itching to make one for a bit. :D He also chose to do it in a Sheridan Style. The design itself took a couple of days to organise and trace out on paper before it even met leather. That in its self was not a simple thing - a work of patience - which I am very glad he has in abundance - because I think the finished article is rather nice. The holsters have been molded around Peacemakers. It does get alot of comments from people - even if sometimes they are not sure what they are looking at - I have had a couple of smart arses even laugh and point at it and say that it is a chastity belt. In a way - yes it is! *grin* Quote
Members tboyce Posted August 7, 2015 Members Report Posted August 7, 2015 This is absolutely beautiful and fills me with despair at my own lack of talent Quote

carr52 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 Are you kidding me??? That has to be the most AWESOME rig I have ever seen. Looks like it should go to a Museum of Leather MasterCraft. I'll be staring at this one for a very long time. Thank you for sharing it with us. Tom Quote
Members dikman Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 That is a very impressive rig. Ugly as hell, imo, but very impressive! (Guaranteed to get attention).

Members LederRudi Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 I agree. I wouldn't even dream of accomplishing something comparable, but ... isn't the sequence of the Sheridan circles somewhat unbalanced? Quote "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?" Tuco Ramírez
Members donovan1974 Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 Very impressive! Wow! That is the work of a true leather artist. I am humbled at this type of work. I make simple book covers, journals, wallets...from Utility oil hides, latigo and vegtan... no real tooling on my work. I recently bought some tooling tools and picked up some second hand tools through a friend. Someday I hope to be able to pull off something like that. Its not really my style, but I still want to be able to do the work! :-) donovan Quote
Members l2bravo Posted August 9, 2015 Members Report Posted August 9, 2015 That has a stupid level of talent involved!!! I'm with Tboyce, I suck at life in comparison. Quote
Members ChiefFilipino Posted August 10, 2015 Members Report Posted August 10, 2015 Very nice! Quote If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted August 10, 2015 Members Report Posted August 10, 2015 All the superlatives have already been used, so I'll just add my congrats on nice work. It reminds me of a song, my dad used to sing, "pistol totin' mama lay that pistol down". Again, nice work. Bob Quote
