I think you are right Santee, (more than one) I feel so blessed in so many ways :)
If it wasn't for you guys i don't know if I would of made it threw the winter!! you know we got a few day sof good weather here and my back was liveable, it never stops hurting, but I have days where I get to go to the shop and get in 4 hours of play time, I havn't been out of bed but maybe 3hrs in those 4 days. I am ready for dry none humid days(ha, ha)!
 Have you been working on anything new? This new rig I am making is taking 3 times as long as I thought it would! I hope that it turns out decent. I hope some day I will get up the nerve to crave! Have you done any carving?
 I went to a Gun show before X mas, and there was a guy that made complete rigs! I looked at one it was nice, had some hand carving and I priced it, it was $500.00 allmost blew me out of my wheel chair!
  Now I totaly understand where he was coming from, if I was to guess I would think a pro, and I think he was, he still had atleast 14 hrs. so you take out $100.00 for leather, buckles, concho's, ect. He would make $400.00, if you deduct $50.00 wear and tear on you tools, he made $350.00 divide that by 8hrs and he made around $24.50 per hour. That isn't very much for the quality work he did!
  This rig I am making and itwill by no means be (PRO QUAILTY) no hand carving, I still can't get my stamps perfectly strait.
And I wouldn't take $250.00 for it, I will have about 40hrs in it when I am done.
Santee, I am sorry that i got so long winded, please excuse me!

Ace -

You are one enthusiatic, grateful & humble son of a gun.  I'm happy for 'ya.

Pards, it's not a bad idea to pause, take a breath (courtey of Ace) and reflect.

Cool beans.

I've got my excuses and I'm stickin' to 'em.

If no one else will say it, I will... You guys are some of the least selfish and big hearted pards I have ever seen... You offer advice when asked, encouragement when needed and compliments free of charge... Then you go out and make a pards day like that. I think is sounds like his MONTH was made.  If I could do it over this here 'lectiric wire, I'd offer you'all my hand extended in friendship, for a honest handshake.

Ace, to answer your question, I haven't tackled carving yet. I just made a skirt pattern for my 7 1/2" Colt, but haven't picked up the knife until I'm certain that's what I want. Keep going back and forth on skirt or Slim Jim...

Sure, could do both, but only have leather right now for one!! Priorities: more leather or a tank of gas...

You playing with your new toys yet? :D

Howdy Ace  ;D ;D ;D


         I just read the NEWS, this is woderful, I know just how you feel pard, I had a friend help me get started, he couldn't work with his hands anymore because of Arthritis, so he gave me his tools plus a bunch of accessories, I couldn't have been happier and more gratfull to this friend of mine, I didn't relize just what a great gift it was untill I started useing the tools and learning how each one worked , and how to use them, it's a gift that just keeps on giving.
       
         Who ever you are that did this wonderful thing for Ace, I'd like to thank you , he's a good pard and deserving of this. and now there won't be anything to hold him back, I know Ace is a happy man right now.


                                     take care Ace and your unknown Friend, enjoy your new Toys Pard  :D ;D ::) :o 8)



                                                                 tEN wOLVES ;) :D ;D

Howdy Pards,
 i feel very humble to have people around me here on this forum, as i stated you pards are the very, very best of folks, in todays world, most people think only of there self's and no one other! Before I got hurt, I helped everyone I could, if it was something I could do.
 Now I know why i did those things, what comes around , goes around :) :) In my mind all of you pards on here are Hero's because of the open arms and wanting to help others!!
 
  I want to thank each and everyone of you for allowing me to be a part of your family!!!!
 
 God Bless you!!
 ACE

And I am having fun with my NEW TOYS  :) :) :) :)
