Members Josh Ashman Posted September 30, 2016 Members Report Posted September 30, 2016 It's not the most original thing I've ever built as it's a pretty close copy of a Ruger Single Six rig I built a while back. but, that;s what the customer wanted and I am happy with how it turned out. 11 oz HO for everything but the bullet loops, which are 4/5 HO. After tooling it got a good coat of NF oil then Fiebings black liquid antique followed by 50/50 M&G mixed with water. Once that dries I wiped it all down with saddle soap. Which doesn't change the appearance much but it does make it smell like a leather product not a floor. Here are a bunch of progress pics snapped with my cell phone and my "glamour" pics once finished. Thanks for lookin, Josh Quote
Members Forester Posted September 30, 2016 Members Report Posted September 30, 2016 Beautiful work. Quote
Members Red Bear Haraldsson Posted September 30, 2016 Members Report Posted September 30, 2016 Words cannot express the amount of jealousy I have. I am just M&M green over here. That is truly marvelous work. I love the slots in the bottom to hold the holster against the skirt. Once again, you have created a beautiful piece of work for me to aspire to. Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted September 30, 2016 Author Members Report Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks Forester & Red Bear! In regards to the slots, I am always happier when I include them as it keeps the skirt from pulling up through the loop when drawing the pistol. I "borrowed" the idea from fellow member "Treed".

bikermutt07 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Great looking rig. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members SLP Posted September 30, 2016 Members Report Posted September 30, 2016 Absolutely beautiful rig! I am inspired by your work. Quote
Members Red Bear Haraldsson Posted September 30, 2016 Members Report Posted September 30, 2016 I think it is a cool idea, but I am still in the process of stealing your idea for the lined skirt holster and the t-nuts... Ideas ideas ideas, must be time to make something.... Quote
Members Treed Posted October 1, 2016 Members Report Posted October 1, 2016 Great setup..... love the color and tooling Quote Bobby Rose Rock'n R custom holsters

Members TSes Posted October 2, 2016 Members Report Posted October 2, 2016 Very nice rig. What tool did you use to get that nice beading? Tom Quote
