To the Makers of Things, Show us what you do!

Saw some Peruvian walnut and maple that I liked in Woodcraft. So I whipped up a box.

Would love to see more of this process, and more of that tool chest in the back!

Some cowboy things:

Loop Holsters. I really enjoy building these:

While often thought of as a primarily single action holster they work well for double actions too. I probably make more for double actions then I do for single actions. This one was ordered to fit a Colt 1873 frame and a Smith K frame:

For a big Colt Anaconda:





Just fun builds. Made a few roper wallets lately too. The wife builds these I was just involved in the designs:

I stopped making leggings a while back. Just really didn't have the time anymore. I built a pair of AZ Bells (Stepins) here lately for a friend. My end of a trade. He left me an old pair that I could take apart for a pattern to get the size right. They are the brown ones hanging on the shelf corner underneath the new light grey one's I built him.

Notice that the old brown ones are heavily creased down the front:



My friend said the first thing he was gonna do when he got em home was to soak em in a water trough. He'd then take em out and stack a couple of hay blaes on em till they were dry. Thats what causes the crease. He was very happy with them. This young man manages one of the largest cattle ranches in California. Got em creased:

Here's a Damascus pendant I made for my wife. It's about 1 1/2" long by 3/32" square.

That's cool John, the kids have been wanting to make canister damascus for a while, we finally tried it out this week and made a nice billet out of chainsaw blades. Would like to make a spike tomahawk out of it, we'll see. Took us about 3 hours to draw it out with a guillotine tool, not sure I'd attempt it again without a hydraulic press or power hammer!

The wife has been busy. Had several requests for a wine bottle carrier. There is such a thing? We were provided with a catalog and a website to check. Not only is there such a thing but there's bunches of em. She got some ideas and ran with it. So this is her second one. The first she wants to throw away, don't know if she will or not.

This is designed to carry two to three bottles of wine, (well heck whiskey if ya want). The dividers are padded and the flap has magnetic closures. There is a pocket on the front for a folding corkscrew. Body of the bag is a an oiltan and the straps are water buffalo.

The magnetic closures are kinda cool. Ya spend some time trying to line em up but after a bit ya learn to just close the flap and they find themselves and snap in place.

That is nice and I bet will be a big seller!

That's an impressive undertaking! I would never attempt Damascus by hand. It's work enough with a press. Hopefully you can turn it into something awesome.

Yeah we used a little over 4 inches of 1-1/2" square tubing for the canister and it was a lot beat down by hand, even with the guillotine. Still need to draw it out a bit but right now it's at 5/8" x1-1/8" x 6".

If (and that's a big IF lol) we do it again before having a press, I may try using a rectangular canister. Maybe something like a 3/4" x 1-1/2" piece of tubing. We just tossed my daughters old bike and I pulled the chain and 90 ball bearings out of it, might be fun to make a nostalgic piece out of it for her.
