Here it is !

First Off,
I am very humble for all the kind words you all have stated about my lastest rig! If there is any Talent invovled in the making of my Hollywood Rig would only be in the design of the look of it! Anyone can make a rig like that, and If a person wants a project like a Hollywood Rig I suggest that a person make one, because they are fun to make! For me it shows that I can plan out a project and complete it. In my mind the real Talent is making a Period Correct Rigs that looks like they came out of the 1800's, and if it is Carved, That Is Talent

Saddler,
I wished I had used a regural peice of veg tanned rather than the Bridal leather, but the feel of the Bridal leather sparked something in me, I think it was just the feel of that leather that inticed me to use it?

Once again, Thank all of you for the kind words!!
I hope my next project is better!

cowboy316,
You sure can save a lot of cash by getting your spots from David, If this would help you out, I would go get another 1000 of each size and split them with you? Let me know if I can help?

Ace, I don't even know where to begin. I can say all the things that the others have said and they would be true. But somehow that doesn't seem like enough. We have all listened to you praise everyones work on here and looked at the work you have shown use. We know what you have been through and what you have had to overcome. Then we hear you say that someone is an inspiration to you. Buddy, let me say right here and now, you are the biggest inspiration on this forum as far as I am concerned.
If we had awards around here I am sure beyond a doubt that you would and should get the one for most improved. That is truly a fine looking rig and one I would be proud to wear anywhere.

Ace, you'll do to ride the river with and I am happy to call you friend.

Ace you know how I feel, and that goes double for me what GB said, you're the inspiration if there ever was one.

I think you know how happy we all are to have you joining in with us again, it just wasn't the same without you, and now you come up with this beautiful gun rig that Hoppy would have been proud to wear, you're a fighter Pard, it's good to have you back.

To All,

There's not one Pard on here I don't call my friend, and i thank God for each and everyone of you.

This forum and the Pards on here is my reason to live!!! Everytime I come on here I get fired up!!

I know of no where in the world, that people share there idea's with others! Most trade people won't share there tricks for fear of someone getting better than them, and take there buiness away from them! It is sad that the world has turned out this way, but it has!

If the world was like the Pards on here, what a great place it would be to live in!

There is not one thing that I know that I would gladly share with anyone that ask!!
Life is so SHORT that most people don't take the time to smell the Roses! If I died today, I would die knowing that I have a ton of friends that I havn't ever meet!!!! In this little town that I live in, everyone is afraid that you will get ahead of them! If I could sale my house and get what it was worth, I would move away from here in a minute!!
If there was award to be given it wouldn't go to me, it would go to the Pard that kept pushing me to make it threw my or deal, and that is my FRIEND AND MENTOR, TW

In closing, I am so blessed to have ALL OF YOU PARDS that I call my FRIENDS!! God works in so many different ways, and that is why he guided me to my HOME, CAS CITY LEATHER FORUM.

I am Humble to know all of you!!
God Bless.

Amen and amen!

Dr. Bob · August 18, 2009, 11:19:21 AM

I'm right there with you Ace! Pard, you said it all!!

Marshal Will Wingam · August 18, 2009, 04:03:06 PM

I couldn't have said it better, Ace.

Bodie Bascom · August 18, 2009, 06:05:58 PM

Preach on Ace! You're absolutely right.

GunClick Rick · August 18, 2009, 11:40:57 PM

You got that right Ace.Everyone here has his own style,proving once again that we are all individuals with a special talent(s) and that is what makes a great country work like a well oiled machine or holster and gun.

This one's for you Ace.

santee · August 22, 2009, 07:01:18 AM

Sorry I'm a little late here, Ace. Terrific job! Love all the conchos, too.
To go through what you have been going through and turn out work like that...
Hats off to you!!

Ace Lungger · August 22, 2009, 10:02:28 AM

Thanks Rick!

Santee my Old friend,
The greatest thing about leather work for me is there are very few rules!

You can do what you want to do as long as it has the basic's! The Old Back has flat kicked my butt this week! I don't even feel much like getting on the net, but because of all my dear friends I have on here i feel inside me that I must get on here and look at what my friends have done! For me, I feel very Humble to be a part of such a fine bunch of Pards, that i allways want to be a part of this!!
Have you been making anything? I hope to hear from you soon.
