    That looks like fun. Maybe I'll try doing some leatherwork if I ever get caught up on all the other irons I have in the fire. I need to finish my 65 mustang and my 1930 Chrysler hot rod. And I need to sell my 57 Pontiac 2 dr. and my 1937 Pontiac 5 window coupe. I guess I won't try leatherwork after all.

    You are working with some nice American iron there!

    Yup I tried a couple little tooling projects and yeah... even with a traced pattern its an art.... I probably won't be good for much but maybe a border. I was a chicken shit to even try a border on my holster cuz one wrong hit on a stamp and its game over and that would piss me off!
    So like a chicken shit would do I took the safe route and am not going to do any tooling on it. LOL!
