Members 2ndskinned Posted April 3, 2018 Members Report Posted April 3, 2018 A few years ago I purchased a heap of bull scrotums. Ive dug them out recently and started making them into small bags and phone pouches. A few in varying stages so you can get an idea of them. They are fun to make and Ive sold out so people must like them too. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 Those look great. 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.

I literally winced. And then you post this! I've used the rubber rings for castrating and tailing sheep. The tups get over it in a few minutes, when the feeling goes away. At first I was a bit hesitant but an old boy told me they used a pocket knife and teeth in his youth. That's what the spey blade on a stockman knife is for. It's also why Aussie stockmen used to carry more than one knife -- something about cutting up their food with the same knife they used for the other purpose... @2ndskinnedGreat work on using what's probably an overlooked resource. Do Aussies still make kangaroo scrotum coin pouches for the tourists? In one of his books Ron Edwards talks about stretching untanned bull pizzles over pieces of rattan for army officers' swagger sticks. That'll make ya wince. Quote
Members Wedgetail Posted April 4, 2018 Members Report Posted April 4, 2018 Sold them all, hey? ..... Would you say you made sacks of cash? Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted April 4, 2018 Members Report Posted April 4, 2018 I'm speechless... not sure if I could just reach in one of those to answer my phone. Ok, I actually want to make one now just to gross-out friends. Quote
