Ya'll have been doin' some real nice work.  I ain't had the time recently to git anything done, but your work is sure inspiring

[Doc Neeley]

OK, that does it!!! I'm gonna have to order some leather when I get my Friday special from Siegels. That's a great holster.

I have always liked that style of basketweave that Triggersmith used.  I bought that stamp not to long ago and just need to try it.  The holsters look great Major.  Did Triggersmith put a welt in them on the seam?  The edge looks nice and thick.

[Major 2]

Yes, the pattern is his , the welt idea was mine, to allow for more scroug for the side ejector of the Richard & Mason and still be his Slim Jim shape. It is also lined.

He also came up with a idea (not used in my holster) for a welt that allows for the scroug, but does not make the visible side of the main seam that much thicker....My holster is just as I asked for to match the first crossdraw.
It's his trick and looks real good too.

Ray also has a real nice Floral .

Major, I know what you mean.  Tiggersmith makes good stuff.

I finally found a napkin  ring (at the suggestion of Major 231)  I thought would look nice on my Walker flapped holster.  I found it a yard sale.  It is engraved silver.  You find the best things when you aren't really looking.

[Forty Rod]

What did you do to secure it to the holster?

[Triggersmith]

I slid the ring on the tube.  I used a strip of 4 oz loop leather, used Barge cement on both sides, rolled it into a tight unit, the outer diameter was 1/4 inch larger the the diameter of the ring.  It was about one inch thick.  1/2 inch was groung down to fit into the tube.  This was glued into the tube.  The remaining 1/2 inch was ground to match the silver ring rounded off a bit and dyed black.  The area where I had slid the ring back was coated with Barge cement, before it dried. I slid the ring back snug up against the plug, rotated it a big to coat the inside of the ring, and let it dry.  The ring is silver and I used a rubber hammer to peen in the area around the seam in the back.  It came out pretty good.
Thanks for asking.
Triggersmith

[Forty Rod]

...."pretty good"....

Huh!  So you're a master of understatement, too.  It came out great.

[Triggersmith]

Much obliged Forty Rod but you can thank Major 231.  It was his idea to hunt for a napkin
ring.  I just found one I liked.
Triggersmith

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Outstanding. The napkin ring really is a good addition. Thanks for posting the pics. It really gives it the look of the pommel holsters.

[Reverend Bob]

Something new from the shop...



Reverend Bob

[Triggersmith]

Hey Bob, is that the rig that's on sale at Cowboys-be us.  It looks like you have been talking lessons. Your work has gotten really great.  Nice job.
Your Pard

[Reverend Bob]

Triggersmith
Thanks for the compliment, here's another rig I thought came out pretty well.

Reverend Bob

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Those are great rigs, Bob. I particularly like your color choices. What did you use on the double rig, a heavy dose of light brown?

[Reverend Bob]

No that is Tandy's antique burgandy.

[Triggersmith]

Mosquito Whitey asked me to post the photos of his new knife sheath I made for him.  He has a beautiful knife and needed a nice sheath to go with it.  It turned out quite nice and he is happy.
