Pretty nice job for part time want-a-be. I'm toast, I sure hope they judge alphbetical.

Very nice Nick,

Bill

 

[NickWheeler]

Thanks guys!

It sure feels good to get one wrapped up. They seem to be few and far-between right now... but it makes it even more satisfying than when I was full time.

Dan, I have always made the frogs for sheaths like this one, but the fella that picked this one up from me pointed out that it wasn't something he was concerned about... so this is one from Tandy. I like the looks of a damascus frog, but I sure liked the time saved using one like this!

Bill... you make me laugh out loud buddy!

THANKS!

hi Nick one like this?
?? I'm not seeing a frog? are you taking about the Frog pins? or buttons?

I'm talking about the leather that holds that type sheath on the belt..
I may have miss understand you or you me? you know me that's not hard for me to do
something like these leather frogs I'm taking about.
