Thanks everybody for the kind words.  I really enjoy working with leather and it was your posts that got me into this.

Outrider, I live just out of Johnson City and shoot with the Greene County Regulators, High Country Cowboys, and the Gunpowder Creek Regulators.  I have also shot with the Oak Ridge club.

Lucky R.K. Welcome to posting. The first completed holster and the one in process are really great.

As you have already noticed from watching the thread for a year, the folks here are great, inspirational and extremely helpful.

You are sure ahead of me.  I am just finishing up my fifth holster and still have not gotten to a point of full tooling.  You tooling really makes me want to practice more and probably get some new specs so I can see the lines.

Okay, I gotta show off ...

I kept looking at boots that I could use both for SASS and reenacting.

The Fort Frontier Boots looked the cheapest and most comfortable boots I could find .... but there was this problem with the keyhole ... in 1850 California, they just didn't exist on the boots made out West ...

About the time I was considering boots I was also looking at the buckleless spur straps that were around ... metal was scarce in California, so they were often used.

So I made a set that matched my SASS pistol rig ... and they covered the keyhole, making them look like a pair of much more expensive (and much less comfortable) boot ...

My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...
