Thank you again for your generosity.

I can not see in my head pictures to draw. Even when my Dad tried to teach me to play guitar i have no ear for music. My Dad could hear a song one time and play it. I never got past the holding the guitar because im left handed i wanted to hold it upside down. That ended the lesson. LOL
Now with work all you have to do is give me a machine and i can wire it up, run air to it, and run eathernet to the machine.
My granddaughter and i were drawing and she asked me to draw a cow. I drew a cow for her and then she said draw me a dog so i drew her a dog. After that she asked me to draw a cat so i drew her a cat.
She looked at all three and asked me why do they all look the same except some are bigger. They were all the same except for the size. The cow was the biggest. LOL
Its bad when a 5 year old talks junk about your drawing.
Congrats on your talent. I do not have that. I can catch a ball like crazy. Baseball or football it does not matter.

1911a1-fan,
If the hammer is down on a live round, you have to manually cock it for the first round to fire...single action style...after that it's rock & roll time...[:p]

you are right, and you are wrong
a 1911 is only a single action, and should never have the hammer down on a live round EVER , the actions you describe does not alter the guns design, you just take extra unnecessary steps
not that i know anything about them [:D]
Thank you again,

I bought one of these to train my draw with from Midway. It's less than $20 with shipping, they are the exact size and shape of a full-size 1911. I don't know if that'll work for you, but you might want to check it out

Also you said you had some left-handed 1911 holsters on the shelf that you said you are having a hard time moving. Are any of them full size IWB? I might be interested in taking one off your hands if you put it on the auction side
Let me know if you would please
Thank you

Enquiring minds want to know.
I Was thinking of You been there Twice[:0]
I have often thought of trying my hand at it. Is it terribly difficult? Does it take years and years to get passably good?
Any good How-To books or other sources you could recommend?
Thanks.
Some of it is a skill which can be learned. Some of it is a talent which you have to be born with.

They have all kinds of leather working books and tools to build everything from a Cub Scout wallet to a A Fork saddle.
For good stamping and carving leather, remember the name "Hermann Oak".
I'm sure Trinity be along shortly to start schooling you.

Any of the Stohlman books are good for starters,,,,,,i.e. the below,,,,,

Thanks Bill, I had been beating my brain trying to think of the name of the books.
. We have several of their books over in FIL's old leather shop.
Rocco thinks he doesn't have enough to do cleaning guns, can't wait to see what he has to say about working leather [:D]
Maybe he will braid us up a couple of rawhide headstalls to fit mules along with a nice set of reins with big pineapples and a fancy Romel.

Hey Bill, nice stitching horse, far nicer than ours, but ours does have a wooden seat.
But what is that oversized cartridge on the shelf just to the right?

Nice, you got a Wesley Richards double that it fits in? [:D]
Ricci, there is a lot of good information giving here so far. I also would recommend checking out Tandy Leather like dpmule said.
Like mentioned above I use a lot of Stohlman books in my work.
I get a lot of my stuff from Tandy. They have some knife patterns, not many, but they also sale a pattern kit with a lot of different styles of sheaths.
Sheaths are a fairly simple way to start doing leathercraft. You can make a nice sheath with just one piece of scrap leather, and one stitch line.
When stitching I use a synthetic sinew thread mostly. It last a lot longer than a cotton based or poly thread. It can melt also, and makes for a secure end to the thread line.
Unlike forgemonkey, I don't use a stitching pony. I have one, but I personally don't like using it. I think is a creature of habit thing. I didn't learn to use one when I started working leather, and when I got it, I didn't like the change. That being said, it's a good thing to try and start using from the get go.
Tools to be used is an entirely different post. We could type for hours about what you could or must use...[^] here are a few pictures of my shop, and just some of the tools I use.
Good luck, and if you need anymore help send me an email at (whitmirelm@gmail.com)
