Now I have a new wallpaper for my computer at work! Thanks Will.
BTW, those domed rivets do look good. Its subtle, but noticeable all at the same time.

Nope he's not alone! That goes double from me Will! The page looks awesome!! The rust tank is very interesting, and the affect is awe inspiring! I bought a couple Crucifixes off of you a while back to make a replica of Ben Wades gun. Been waiting for the mood to strike me just right! Well you have motivated me Will! Thanks for all this Will!

Will, that how-to is really outstanding. Thanks for posting it. That's a valuable tool for all of us. Kudos to you and many thanks.

Hey Guys,

Just finished up the three pages of the HOG Rig pattern this afternoon.  It will go to the blueprint shop Friday to start a limited run duplication.  Not near as cheep as gettin' 'em printed by the thousands, but it doesn't cost thousands either!  I got the front of the envelop laid out.  I just have to put together the information on the back side and this project is done!  Whoo Hoooooo!

If the Good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise, they'll be in the mail next week!  Thanks for your support and encouragement.

[santee]

Looking forward, Will! Got some leather, your H.O.G. buckle, and the desire. I'm a-ready!
Oh yeah...gotta find a rust tank. Dang, I knew I forgot sumthin'.

[will ghormley]

Hey Boothill Bob,

I'm not set up to take credit cards or other forms of electronic payment.  And, I haven't invaded any other countries since I got out'a the Army over seventeen years ago.  A lot of folks sighed a sigh of relief after that!  But, there is an outfit that sells my patterns that does all that payment and shipment stuff.  I'll see if we can work out a deal to get you the pattern through them.

Hey Santee,

You can cut Fiebing's Black Professional Oil Dye about half & half with Mahogany, extra virgin olive oil the leather first, do the block-out with the bee's wax, just like in the how-to article.  Then hit it with the mix.  I would experiment with some scrap before ya' tried it, but it would get you a little closer to the color without the rust tank.

Hey Pards

A real cool use for one of Will's HOG crosses is to use it as a watch fob. I have 2 , one in silver. Gets a lot of attention.

(and while yer at it get one of his silver buckles. They are really excellent.

Thanks Will I love mine

[santee]

Will, thanks for the tip. I'll try that.
Curley, nice use for the cross. Buckle looks smart,too!

[WaddWatsonEllis]

I have one of those buckles in white bronze just waiting for the belt to come back from being stained and 'slicked ... can't wait to see the two together!

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Well, the pic looked good until it showed up on the web ... honest ....

Well, the "Hand of God" patterns are done.  If the U.S. Postal Service delivers enough envelopes tomorrow, I'll get 'em in the mail.  Now, I'll start on the Ringo Rig.  I just finished a pattern for Ringo's spur straps this mornin'.  It looks so good and wears so well, I might just have to make a pair of 'em for myself.  If I have room in the Ringo pattern, I'll fit the spur strap pattern in there too.
