Why thank you Marshall!

Right now I am working on a .45-70 Cartridge Belt to carry ammo for the rolling block.

I put a courier's bag on the left side of the holster to hold anachronisms like wallet and cell phone ... and her is a pic of the work in progress ... I am using a 2" wide  cotton/polypro canvas for the loops ... and it still takes an hour to get each side of the loop sewn .... I included my trifold wallet to give it some scale ... but it is a 3" wide belt :



I am also going to make a foot long indian style sheath to fit this Green River Butcher to the right side ... T-Bar made the stag grips, and I just got done staining them with walnut dye:



TTFN,

EE Taft Thats nice carving your showing. Keep m comming KT     santee cuffs look very useable. I like them . KT

[EE Taft]

Here's a pic of the tooling done....all except the billets. The tooling along the top of the belt was not beveled and finished as I will be covering the top part with cartridge loops. However I did continue the tooling into the area of the loops so as not to break it up.



Another project I'm working on.....a bit less tooling but still nice.



.....And as with all my stuff they will be fully lined.

WaddWatsonEllis,

Nice! I like the way you adapted the JR rig for the Schofields. I like the idea your using on the belt as well!

Santee,

I know just what you mean......Sometimes you gotta force yourself to keep the "bling" outta the project! Those cuffs look GREAT! Nice, clean, simple.......Great work! Sometimes the hardest job is making a simple project look good....ya pulled it off nicely!

Hi,

Every time I look at the beautiful carving done by the members here I am ready to genuflect and repeat, 'I'm not worthy.'

I have always avoided projects that needed to be carved ... now I guess I need to bite the bullet and start the classes .... Wow! What beautiful carving!!

TTFN,

[Johnny McCrae]

I've been working on a holster to sort of match a knife sheath...
First one and it is an entirely different animal....
Not done yet, still piddling with it.....For a Navy .36.......Randy




And the sheath....

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Cool bead work. It works nicely with the sheath. Thanks for the pic.

Very Pretty stuff, Church!

Boothill, Great canteens!!!! I know you and I are on different sides of the world, but what was your source for the canteens? the acual inner bladder (I guess that's what it's called. ) I've had a terrible time trying to find them!

I bougth one of these and took the cover of it.

[EE Taft]

Hmmm......Haven't been able to find one like that around here in some time. Everyone has gone to the new fangled plastics that have no way of looking period correct.

I'll have to start looking a bit harder.

Nice looking stuff!
