JD,
Yer right, I stitched this one for a 2 1/2 " belt or, you can make it for up to 3" or more.

I like the 2 1/2" as it is more comfortable for bending over and great for back support.

The belts I've made for my Sidekicks say that the back problem has gone.

Pictured on the right is the BH right hand crossdraw and the left holster is for a Schofield, that I made for my Frin up in Calgary Alberta.

He calls it the Josey Wales rig.

Thanks Pards for the compliments,

Dave that is awsome, iron wood is a tough, hard as, well, maybe thats why they call it iron wood eh.

  Montana Slick, that is a beautiful rig pard, I like Slim Jim's anyway, and the belt ties both holster together for a great look.

  Slick that last rig you posted is a good'n pard. I like the color also and thanks for telling us what you use.

Dave, that is really pretty. Love the scales and the sheath is great. Kid is a lucky man.

[MontanaSlick]

Thanks TW,
The new shop is the first time ever organized play area. The reloading equipment is all boxed up and the leather is in.

Thinkin' bout making a slim jim holster rig like the one in the pik I made for my Sidekick Longfellow.
He's the krazy Canadian who likes to rubb elbows with the Open Range Gang.

He sent me a 100% beaver hat like Duval's, he calls it the Boss Spearman. No pik as this is the wrong thread

Have to keep on the leather subject.

Daves knife sheath is awsome, I like the basket weave and his  new one he posted is just real art.

Nice work, Slick. That Josey Wales rig looks good.

Dave, the push dager & sheath are really something. Very nice work.

[Wiley Desperado]

Montana, That is a beauty of a gun rig pard, I like the coloring real well.  I can visualize ole Clint Eastwood sportin that rig with no problem. 

Dave that knife is plumb awsome pard...pushdagger just sounds scary. The sheath is art work.

[Missouri Half Breed]

I have notice that duble clicking in the photo makes it biger

[Kid Terico]

MHB nice job. great color. Your really getting the hang of it. Keep showing. KT

[JD Alan]

Missouri HB, there is a "How to" for posting pictures on the FAO thread, along with a whole host of great information. I use Photobucket for my pictures, and my wife's good quality SLR camera. The problem is the pictures are too clear, and show every little mistake you make.

I sure would like to see a picture of the back of that last holster you made. I'm curious as to how you attached the keeper strap to the back flap. There seems to be lots of ways to do it (tied, riveted, screwed, stapled) and I'm always looking for a better way to do it, one that makes the holster more secure.

Thanks for your posts, JD     

[Missouri Half Breed]

hear ya go JD i just used one chigao screw and cut the back of the strap to make it tight coverd the in side of screw so not to scratch holster
