AC great rig, I love doing lacing and that is a big job and you did a fine job with it.

Short BBL, nice work,interesting pattern on your tooling.Dave

Finally have the "Hoppy" inspired rig done.  Its been a pleasant journey and learning experience.  The Belt is lined as well as the holsters.  All stiching is hand done.  It has deer hide bullet loops that have been lined.   The lining is 3/4 oz vegtan not stained.  I did the lacing with white Kangaroo lace, which I highly recommend, it doesnt break and can be skived and joined together with glue.  It's cost is just a bit more than other good lace.  Its worth it for ease of lacing versus the frustation of lace that keeps breaking.  Here are some pics......

Wow AC, a lot of time went into that one Great job!

ShortBBL, great job on that sheath. I like the stamping.

[JD Alan]

Boy, you take off a few days and look what you miss!

Wiley, nice sheath. Short BBL welcome, and good job on that sheath, very interesting design.

AC, you sly dog! What a great job on that rig! Are you gonna use it, and risk getting it a little messy, or are you going to hang it as art?

Everything looks great on it, but I especially like the lines of the holsters.

Listen friend, nobody has anything on you after that rig!

Beeeeeutiful AC

ShortBBL, that sheath is right fine. The stitching is top notch. How cool to have your first project completed. It looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. Welcome to the forum.

Yesterday was our local CAS match. Not having shot one in over a year, I went not expecting to do good, bad or otherwise. I didn't think about what to do but just let muscle memory take over. I came in 4th out of 46 shooters. It was a fun match. Next month is our yearly 3-day match. I'll get to try out my WB gear then.

[Kid Terico]

Heres another fine work of art done by Dave Cole made for me and here is the sheath I made for it.Thanks Dave  ..KT

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

  KT, this is a beautiful knife and sheath, the burl in the wood is awesome, and the style knife rocks, the sheath you made compliments the knife well, nice work of the filigree and white background, nice all around pard.

Thanks Pards
Cliff, The time was worth it. 
JD, I am showing it at my local Tandy, their going to put it up on a display wall for a while, so I guess art it is.  It is just a bit to big for me .  Fits a 35 to 38.  I must have missed a measurement, although I could move the billets.
Bootill, thanks for you comment.
Dr Bob, when you complete something like this you feel like your the man, until one of your projects slaps you back into reality. Thanks.
