BUNKHOUSE RAMBLINGS

[Forty Rod]

Forty Rod I was thinking of a book on my 7 operations in the last year. It is a funny book. It will keep you in stitches.   Now to the serious side . Thanks for telling about the books you wrote. I will have to order them. Who is the publisher? Thanks KT

I fired my publisher, but I have some copies here until I get Sisley Creek Press involved.  

gun.slick@juno.com for info.

JD, I've got a bunch of them both nickle and brass, 1/4 and 3/8 in. More than I'll ever use up. If you want some let me know what and they're yours!

Ned

[JD Alan]

Ned, I really appreciate it, and I'd be happy to buy them from you rather than Tandy. Do the fancy ones come any longer, like 1/2 inch?

[Dalton Masterson]

JD, nice work on them pouches!
For going over the billet on the belt, and keeping the overall length down, what about putting a belt loop that can be unsnapped?
I am thinking that the same thing you have made now, but sew the edges so its a stiff one piece, and add a wide belt loop sewn at the top and with a snap at the bottom.

Or instead of sewing 2 pieces together for stiffness, use a thicker piece of leather...

I really like what you are doing now though. They look great!

[Ned Buckshot]

Not that I've seen, If I need a longer reach I use an extra long screww.

Very cool pictures Outrider

WC, that's another great piece I hope to see in person. At this point my trip south is on, so I  will likely show up at your shop sometime Firday the 24th. I'll leave Yosemite pretty early in the morning for LA. Since I don't know when you might read this I'll be giving you a call to make sure the date & time is ok to show up and hang around.

CALIFORNIA TRAVEL QUESTION

It's been a long time since I've been anywhere in northern or central Calif. I'm going to be driving from Yosemite down to LA, to WC's shop in Reseda.

The maps are advising me to drop down to Fresno, hit 99 and take it to Bakersfield, then stay on 99 until it intersects with I-5. That sounds like the slow way, since I remember 99 having a bunch of lights and running through small towns.

so I’m wondering if some of you in that general neck of the woods can advise a different route, like cutting over to I-5 somewhere around Fresno or below? 

Thanks, JD

[JD Alan]

Email on the way

[GunClick Rick]

Nope 99 all the way,but the traffic can be disasterous especially between here in Visalia and Fresno,don't go unless i absolutley have to..Safer to take the old golden highway as far as ya can,just don't stop and keep the doors locked,the fleas will get ya.. Heck it's scary just goin around the corner anymore..

[WaddWatsonEllis]

JD,

If'n you should need a place to freshn up on your way down, I am just about a mile off of Bus 80 .... and going down 5 or 99, yuh gotta come through Sackatomatoes ....

        I just finished up a Slim Jim for a customer, he wanted the aged used look to it, so this is what I came up with.


                                       Thanks for taking a look

Just finished the  holster for my friend KT, top pic.  He traded me for it, and made me a 1911 Holster, the bottom picture.  I can't tell you how much it pleased me to make this for KT.  He is an outstanding pard, and to own an original Kid Terico makes this deal even sweeter.  Thanks KT.

AC

[Cliff Fendley]

Both are great looking holsters. I really love the skirt and border stamping on the Mexican Loop.

[KidTerico]

AC I,m so glad you posted the holster you made for me. I knew I had to have a holster made by AC . His work is outstanding. I asked him if he would do me the honor as I did with TW of making something for my collection. I now have items from 2 of the great  leather workers on this site all in one day. I will now have a even nicer collection Thanks  to AC and TW. Your friend Terry

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

AC, beautiful work on this holster, I like your choice of border tooling too and style, it has a certain elegance to it, and your finish is top notch.

  Of course that KT 1911 holster is a beaut also, all his work is over the top in design workmanship and beauty, looks like this must be Kid Terico day, I cant think of a better more deserving pard.

Thanks TW, He is a great pard.  I really like your holster, how did you age it?  Looks a hundred years old.  I like the used look.

AC

[Dave Cole]

AC and TW ,you both did great jobs on the holsters,classic look and styling.Dave

[Johnny McCrae]

Howdy TW & AC,
Wow! Two Beautiful examples of classic Holsters coupled with excellent workmanship. These Holsters are going to a great Pard.

Howdy KT,
Another fine example of your creativity and design talents. If you were an automotive designer, I'd sure like to see what you would come up with!

Many thanks to you Gents for posting this.
