[St8LineLeatherSmith]

here is a little eye candy for you fellas to enjoy
I will be posting  the first two in the classifieds in case someone might be interested.

The first is a brazos Jack style shoulder rig fitted for the 1858 Army


the next is also fitted for the 1858





this is some tool work on a holster I made for a colt peace maker


got some more pics I can load later

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Nice work, pard. They all look great. I particularly like the lace work.

[St8LineLeatherSmith]

Thanks for the Kind words
Ya I am kinda partial to the double loop lace and Mexican basketweave
here is a chest rig I made for myself to house my 1858 army copy.
if you notice the wide horizontal strap in the front I am going to make a few cylinder pouches and place them in that location I am also going to make a bullet pouch and and maybe a flask holder
no the pics are not reversed, I am a south paw
I copied this design from a rig I found on the internet called the Doc Holiday shoulder rig I just altered it to best accommodate  me
what I like about the across the shoulder strap is I can position my hog leg to the side and out of the way or up front for whatever versitility is needed at the moment and it stays put until you reposition the rig.
I like it a lot

Yessirree Had a Large time learning some good stuff  from a top notch leathersmith too
BTW outrider I saw one of your posts so I sent you a PM not sure if you got it.

[outrider]

I did....

BTW that Brazos Jack shoulder holster at the top of the page is harness/bridle leather and since the bridle leather was around 6-7 OZ I used some 2-3 OZ veg tan came out about the right thickness. 
The harness leather is what I used for the straps on my lefty rig and it tools pretty good too I have found
I am in the process of making some tactical holsters with the harness leather also
the more I work with this harness leather the more I like it.

Thanks Ten Wolves and Marshall Will
I have been looking through all the long closed show me threads and have been highly inspired  by some of the amazing gun leather made by other craftsmen of the forum. several of the names are fimilliar to me from Leatherworker.net
