Now look at what you made me go and do..

[Hank Rugerman]

No Marshall...I didn't get no blisters from the leather work...but this weekend..

I got blisters from this little jewel..

My poor old belt just layed there and didn't get any TLC this weekend..but hey I got one step closer to finishing up.

Just a bit of trim and touch up and she's finished...

I have some leather carving that needs tending to THIS WEEK!!!!!!

Yep...Mama has a place to set in the cool....while I work in my shop...

This ole boy didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday....

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That's great, Hank. Very nice addition.

[Hank Rugerman]

Well....llike I told you I would...I mosied out to the ranch(ette) and got iin a little leather time...

here is round two with the carving....this is my second, (well actually third if you count two billets) go at the leather carving.
(and yes I know...I forgot part of the border...).
I got so anxious to pound something, that I got ahead of myself....

heck I even got started on the cartridge loops...




This sneaking around stuff, is actually a blast...

That holster looks nice, pard. I like the trunk as a backdrop for the leaves. Looking forward to the finished product.

Howdy there Hank,

Very nice work! As to the hand cramping; if I know that I'm going to do a lot of carving or stamping, I'll put a bowl of ice water close to where I'm tooling. When I start to cramp up I'll put my hand or hands in it. Seems to help me, and I can carve or tool longer.
