BTW boys, the NCOWS Convention was real good. Ya really need to try to make it next year.
Hats off to Grizzle Bear, Doc, Books, Trap and all the others to numerable ta mention for a great time in KC.
Adios,

Great picture Johnny. I have a few around like that I need to scan into the computer. I see a lot of bikers around the NW with long hair, and none of them are liberals. They are patriotic bunch for sure, and thank God for it.

Thanks for serving your country in the Marines. I appreciate it

God bless, JD

Good Night Nurse! Let me catch up here. A fella goes away for a few days to shoot Trailhead in Columbus,Texas and everyone is showing all this fine leather work!! First off, WOW, how lucky can we get? Welcome Stitch mighty fine professional leather work there pard, thank you for sharing with us and thanks for that info on the leather tanning processes. We look forward to more of your work and knowledge. There are about a half dozen or so of ya'll such as Will and others who are real pros of leathercrafting on this forum. It sure makes it fun for folks like me who have a lot to learn about this craft.

Johnny McCrae That is a mighty fine looking rig, those spots really make it look "muy malo hombre" ! if you know what I mean.

Justino,

Nice work. Liked you knife holsters too. That wouldn't be a switchblade would it?

Good work keep it up.

Howdy Justino,

Beautiful job on your Slim Jim Holster especially for a second attempt. We look forward to seeing your future projects. Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Justino Caballo · March 23, 2009, 08:56:28 AM

yes sir it sure is a switchblade.

my great aunt passed away about a year and a half ago at 99.

her father, my great grandfather carried a switch blade, brass knucks and a colt saa 38-40 every day of his life.

she passed them on to me. I carry a similar switch blade (the original is too valuable) every day. the knucks i keep at home with my colt, but maybe if i ever get elected sheriff i will carry my colt.

Irish Dave · March 23, 2009, 10:36:55 AM

Well, I'm stragglin' in a day late and a dollar short......

But I want to welcome Stitch to the board and offer my compliments to him and all the pards who have submitted their projects since I was on here last.

The NCOWS Convention was indeed a great event. Got to meet Horse Pen and several other CasCity pards. I think all had an outstanding time of it and I want to invite all of you to attend next year --Kansas City '10.
