I love 'em! Over the past few years, I've put together a set for each of my flinters. I know this comes up from time to time, but... post photos of yours.

You do excellent work Gene. :hatsoff:

Oh... no, no, no.... :surrender: I didn't make anything in those photos! I'm sorry I wasn't clear about that... you wouldn't want to see anything I'd try to make! :rotf: (The only thing I'm handy with is a musical instrument!)

I was hoping everybody would post pics of their bags & horns too.
:thumbsup:

Well, thank you all for the compliments. I was hoping this thread would turn into everyone posting their bag & horn combos. Well, here's a couple more nice ones I found this evening:

Southern horn by David Dodds; bag by Scott Sibley:

I don't want to scare anyone... Mine is a 60's leather purse and a plastic katsup bottle... :youcrazy: :redface:

I have bits and pieces of stuff to make my own gear, collected stuff from where I live. Just now getting around to making it... 20 years later... at least the antler I found on the ranch is still in good shape :)
 
OK DM, I'll play. :grin:

Here is one for my percussion.
