Thanks pardner. Looking forward to being here. I appreciate the warm welcome from everyone here. I've only been shooting cowboy action for a few months and I'm looking forward to meeting new people. I also just moved to Jacksonville NC, so I'm looking for people in the local area to shoot with.

I made this one as a shooting bag for the my 68 caliber smoothbore but didn't like the way it set around my shoulder so I re-modeled it into a belt bag...Now I LIKE it!!

It is 7″ wide x 8″ tall and the belt loops will fit on a 3″ wide belt...The leather came from a yard sale coat and has a 1 1/2″ wide gusset stitched in the bottom to make it a little roomier, also a small interior pocket. I stitched it with linen and added a few beads at the seams...The rosette pattern came from a pic of a war shirt...The bag closer is a rolled rawhide button and the belt loop buttons are antler...

Finished with homebrew dye, grease, dirt and varnish....

The patch knife is 11″ overall with half sharp, made from a file and the tine of a Whitetail and has it's own rawhide sheath......Randy

When I saw this I knew I had to have it. I had recently purchased a bandolier bag combo on ebay for my 45-70. It was nice having a bag to throw my spent cartridges into and I was hoping the bag would have enough room for some other gear. To my dismay the bag did not have a divided pocket and was just lacking overall in what I wanted the bag to do.

The original plan was to send it to Randy to be modified but low and behold he had already made my bag! Two pockets, a bit more room and a nice knife to boot. Everything I needed and a bit more. So here is a quick picture of my new set up:



Can't wait to take it out to the range and do some shooting with it! More picture to come.

Now to find a nice leather shooting notebook and I'll be set for my long range matches!

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That's a fine bag, EC. Love the look. Thanks for sharing with us.

Cool idea Qball.  Where did you find the badge?

Sure a family resemblance with you pistol and my Colt 1903 pocket hammerless.

I really like that bag and I like the way it ended up being used.  New ideas abound on this site.

Thank you sir, i bought a embroided badge and cut out the mark.
With a black marker i adjusted the white around it.
Cut down the leather where i glued it,
And presto, one different holster 

As for the pistol, it was the side arm for our military some years ago.

[ChurchandSon]

Buenos Dias Amigo El Coyote....that old rusty/crusty bag looks good hanging from that bandolier but you may have to teach it better shooting habits than mine....

QBall;  Nice holster.  For mine, I have a Swedish army issue holster, and a HHHeisser that just happened to fit. Of course a self made holster invested with love is much better.

Here is a Boot Sheath I made for a friends Knife. I'm not sure how the "spoon" clip will hold up in the long run. I have advised my friend to be careful when using it. I just used Neet's Foot Oil and Skidmores on this one. The Knife fits pretty good and I was concerned that immersing into the Walnut dye might change the fit.

Many thanks to Ten Wolves for his advice on this one.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That's a fine sheath, Johnny. Oil and Skidmores looks great. Nice work.

[GunClick Rick]

Cool  Ole Ned Buckshot did a few of those spoon clips,worked pretty good

[KidTerico]

Johnny beautiful all around job. Your friend will like it. The spoon clips will work and stand up fine. I have a couple of them. KT

[Rusty Brec]

Nice Job Johnny

[Biscuit Joe]

That boot knife sheafth is the cats meow!
This might be an often asked question, but do you mash the scooping part of  the spoon, or just cut it off.
I've never seen this done before.
Just a few times here at CAS  leather.
Thanks.
B Joe

[Johnny McCrae]

Many thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Joe, I figured out how long the clip should be, added around one inch and then cut the scoop end off. I pounded the end flat, smoothed it with a grinder and then bent it into a tight loop. The loop went into a slot and was epoxied in place.  Wish I would have taken a few pictures.
