Well it's like this, I gained alot of weight. I just didn't feel up to making a complete new gunbelt, so I got to thankin about one time when I got one of my older horses in out of the pasture. This hoss hadn't been used in quite sometime. So when I saddled him up the rear girth wasn't long enough. So, me being the cowboy that I was and knowing I must improvise. So I made an extention for each billet for the rear girth. Had to make 2 so the girth would be centered. Anyway my gunbelt got too short so, I made an extention for it on the same basics as the girth extentions. I hope you can open these pics. I wanted to post this just in case someone else had the same problem that I have. I should have my back surgery pretty soon and should be able to lose some weight and maybe not need the extention. Thanks for reading this, Texas Toby

    This is something that should help us well nourished pards, beats making a whole new belt, good luck with the back surgery, seems we have so many pard suffering with back pain these days, I hope it will be a better year for you all.

  Ricky,  that's WAY too much information!!

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Thanks for the information, Johnny. I was just wondering if you have had any experience with this technique over time.

Toby, that's a good solution to a shrinking belt. Good idea. Thanks for the post on that.

AC good looking sheath. KT

[Arizona Cattleman]

Thanks Pards, still have to put a finish on it, just waiting for it to dry.  When I bought the knife I should have looked at it a little closer, as it appears to be a lefty.  The handle tilts out when carried on the left side, but in on the right side.  May need to buy a different knife and sell this one.  The life of the cowboy, like buying new guns when ya can't hit the targets anymore....

  Hey Ac, I got an idea for ya. Use that as your crossdraw and that great big pigsticker you got for the strong side

[Arizona Cattleman]

That be fine, until someone draws on me.  Blade VS Lead.....  I think I'd lose that one.
Thanks Wiley....
