Howdy All
I was wondering about my loading strip pattern and if it would work for other rounds without having to change the spacing.
I made 2 more, one for 44 and one for 38/357. They both worked out great and didn't have to change a thing.

Bob, Helda, EE, and WC, you all are doing some mighty fine work. Very good.

Johnny McCrae · April 23, 2010, 06:58:25 AM

Howdy Helda & EE Taft,

That's some very nice work you have posted. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

JD Alan · April 23, 2010, 08:36:37 AM

Helda, when I commented on EET's work I meant to say what nice job you did and totally spaced it. You have some real talent.

WC, those loading strips are way cool, but I'm wonderin about that middle cartridge in the middle strip. That's a wicked lookin dude!

Howdy JD
That is a 45-70 blank left over from my stunt show days.

Helda Huginkiss · April 23, 2010, 12:55:16 PM

Thank You ALL!!..
EET....NICE JOB!! Thats really great.. no wonder we haven't heard much from you.
WC. I love those loadin strips .. ... I would really want one if I was an action shooter..

JD you always have nice clean work.. I am still working on spacing and hand sewing to make things look neat and orderly.. I am one of those "freestylers" that can't make anything symmetrical even when I try.( All my pictures hang crooked in my house.

EE Taft · April 23, 2010, 08:27:33 PM

Lots of nice lookin' stuff on here lately.

Boy, y'all hit the nail on the head about the loading strips takin' a lot of time to make.

WC, I'm gonna have to try your idea. Looks great, Pard.

Helda, you don't need to change a thing. Looks great!!
It's the hand made work style that makes them unique and adds value.

Next up will be to finish the St Jude's rig.

Back to work I go.

Howdy WC,

Don't know how I overlooked those nifty Loading Strips, must be old age i reckon.

Beautiful work and great designs! Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Marshal Will Wingam · April 24, 2010, 10:11:57 AM

Beautiful holster, BH. Nice work.

Very nice work, Helda. I like those recent "attempts."

Good-looking rig, EE. Very good design.

Wayne, I really like that loading strip design. You took a good design and made it simple. Outstanding.

Skeeter Lewis · April 24, 2010, 10:43:21 AM

Cowboy, those loading strips are very cleverly worked out.

JD, Boothill, EE, Helda - great work. Congratulations to all.

Purse for my Daughter in Law is finally done. Solved my lacing problems and it turned out pretty good. Lined it with soft kid skin leather.

Dr. Bob · April 24, 2010, 04:44:17 PM

AC,

You got the carving down pat! Beautiful color too!! Great job. She will love it!!!

Skeeter Lewis · April 24, 2010, 04:52:05 PM

Nice result, AC. How thick is that leather? I'm curious because I've been tooling leather for a bag and finding it's not thick enough to withstand the work.
