    Bowie knife sheath

    A friend recently acquired a bowie knife with a thin flimsy sheath, and asked if I could make a more durable sheath. His interest is in the Southwest and in particular Texas frontier history. I gave it a hint of Mexican influence. I tried to talk him out of the snap for a more HC retainer, but...

    Do you think this would work?

    I respectfully submit this question to the venerable collection of esteemed gentlemen that constitutes the ML braintrust of this site, what say you? My Kibler .45cal SMR's regular diet is 120 grain .440 round ball, with a .015 ticking patch, and 55grains 3F. I have an excess supply of hard cast...

    Remington holster

    Finished a second holster this weekend. This one for my Uberti Remington 1858 NMA. Think I'll start on one for my Walker next.

    Slim Jim Holster

    I'm making some holsters for a couple of recently acquired C&B revolvers. I finished this one yesterday. All of my C&B revolvers get Slim Jim or flap holsters. Finished the holster for my Uberti Leech & Rigdon and have now begun working on a holster for the Uberti Remington 1858 NMA. Made with 9...

    The cylinder engraving has to go.

    The Uberti Leech & Rigdon arrived today from Dixie Gun Works. It will get the usual cleanup, inspection and fine tuning (yes, that includes addressing the short arbor). The cylinder engraving is not HC, I find that annoying. The engraving will have to go. Has anyone removed cylinder engraving...

    Tallpine's knife

    I recently acquired this patch knife from Tallpine. His craftsmanship is exceptional. The blade and handle is well designed, and the blade is wicked sharp.

    Tallpine's knives

    I just received a patch knife from Tallpine. Prompt shipping and good seller. The knife is an exceptional example of craftsmanship. Worth the expense for such a well made knife. When my budget will allow I'd be happy to acquire another knife from him.

    A new rifle requires a new bag

    I recently assembled a Kibler SMR and decided that the rifle needed a bag that was more aesthetically suited to the SMR than the previous bags I have made, and so I made this bag to service my SMR. Cowhide body and flap, elk hide binding, goat hide outer flap hinge mated to deerskin inner flap...

    Walnut Kibler .45cal SMR, long wait

    Four months from order until delivery of kit (supply issues) can't be helped these days. The wait was well worth it. I think Mr. Kibler is quite generous with wood grading. This walnut has plenty of figure and produced a very nice golden red walnut tone. Of course my amateur photography does not...
