What did everyone get for Christmas?

I was really fortunate this year. I got 'Packing Iron', the historic book on western gunleather, and Chick Burrows' DVDs on holster and sheath making.

I now have creative asphyxiation, knowing I'll never have time to make eveything I want to.

How did you guys make out?

Cheers,

Karl

Nothin' yet, but today marks the thirty sixth anniversary of my mother getting me the Let's Do Modern Leathercraft Kit. I don't think a day has gone by since then that I haven't thought about or done something with leather. I think it has affected every facet of my life, when I was married, my wife's wedding band was three shades of gold in a braid.

99% of the people I know are either involved with horses or directly with leather in one way or another.

Where was I going?

Oh yeah, so it is the gift that has given me almost everything over the years and I couldn't ask for more.

Pretty simple here...

All my clothes are stained or oiled...sooo....

2 flannell shirts

1 dungaree shirt

1 pair of Carhartts

1 Levis

At least I can go to the store now, without looking like some grungy, just crawled out of a Tannery recycling pit kind of person..lol

I got an old HF Osborne Latta pattern draw gauge. I don't really collect any tools that aren't a user, and this one looks like a hundred year old plus user too. Fits the hand well, and easily adjusted.

I got something very useful for leatherworking, a giant sized coffeemug (with Homer on it and the text -Greatest dad in the world).

I hope I get a basket for the donuts next year;-)
