That looks really nice, Kid. The design on the belt is pleasing with the bullet loops spread out like that. The holster carries the same look, too. Nice. Thanks for the pics.

Howdy Kid

No one can say that you don't think outside the box, you just keep them coming, and they're all beautiful, I'm glad you decided to ride the trail with us, after seeing your work, I'd feel bad if you hadn't posted all of these pieces, it's an eye full to say the least.

Keep them coming Pard

Regards

tEN wOLVES Thank You. The silver dollar on the belt Is old. 47 years ago I had a jewler silver solder a small chain on it and I gave it to my wife as a gift. Couldnt afford much back then. Now I took it and put it on the back of one of her rigs. Her idea. With so many good leather artists on this site its hard to show items that are different. I have a spaghetti western rig that I want every one to look at it with one eye in case u go blind. Made it for my 21 year old daughter.

One more real sharp rig there Kid. That lacing (like on the brown belt in the picture) really fascinates me. Do you punch a double row of holes, then crisscross the laced back and forth between the holes? Very cool, and very different. Like 10 Wolves said, you sure do think outside the box, and that's awesome. JD

Thanks JD, Its more like doing a figure 8 on each cross. Just enlarge the pic and u can see how I back track on every cross over. KT

Kid, I think you are the "King of Cowboy Bling" with all that fancy work. Thanks for sharing, and I agree with GB, you're giving us some good ideas. Thanks, JD

Kid Terico · September 25, 2009, 09:24:11 AM

JD ,remember I,m not responceable if u go blind.

Ace Lungger · September 25, 2009, 11:53:43 AM

Howdy Kid,
It was the two toned rig, might be Black and white? I sure like your stuff!! Sorry for being a pain, I just hate it when something I want to look at won't download for me!
Thanks
ACE

Kid Terico · September 25, 2009, 12:32:37 PM

Ace, it should download . Its works for me. Its 3 layers of leather. Back linning is7-8 oz. The lite color is very very lite tan. It is Elk. The top scalloped is 3-4 oz blk leather. It is one full piece of leather made to the exact measurements of the back linning. It took a lot of work to get it to fit perfect.KT

Kid Terico · September 25, 2009, 12:50:24 PM

Ace try down loading this one. KT

Ace Lungger · September 25, 2009, 01:20:43 PM

KT,
I did get the first one downloaded! It is AWESOME!!!!!

I can't imagine the time and money you have in that rig!! I realy like making the Hollywood Rigs, but I just can't afford to make them and have them sitting around! Up untill this year I could garage sale and buy guns and reloading stuff and make my play money!! This year was a no go!! No Doctor, No Pain pills, No money!! But things have to turn around sometime (I hope)!! I realy like your work! You are very talented!! And I thank you for showing those AWESOME rigs!!
I cut out the Holsters for a Hollywood Rig that is going out west, I have been working on getting the right color for 2 weeks! I have allways used 100% 1800's dyes! I have never used the store bought ones. I have seen Pards that use those, and they tend to look streaky!! If my customer picks one of those, I am going to get out the Snap On HVLP spray gun, and I know I won't have any streaks!! I feel that if he picks one of those dyes, I also need to wioe down all the leather with Lemon Juice, hopeing to prevent any blocks!
Thanks so much for sharing those AWESOME Rigs, and keep them coming!
