Saddle progress

Ok, so I am a little behind schedule on this one but it's been a crazy July.  What you see here is the finished ground seat.  There are actually four layers of leather on top of a metal seat strainer that give the seat it's final shape.  I have also installed the gullet cover too.  Stay tuned for the horn.

Latest Holster

I built this holster for trail riding in case I have a run in with one of those big cats that the State of MN refuses to admit exist here.  It's for a Glock 27.

Purses

Every now and then I get talked into doing a purse or two.  Here's a few I just finished today.

Cowboy Bedroll

This is a bedroll tarp I recently completed. It is made from one piece of 7' x 17' 18oz Canvas Duck. Use this for throwing a foam mattress, sheets, and blankets in it for a really comfortable outdoor bed. However, one could simply throw their sleeping bag in it too. This bedroll comes complete with four snaps to keep it folded up and two snaps to keep the 4' flap folded over for those serious outdoor people who prefer to sleep outside without a tent!

Place your mattress, sheets, and blankets (or sleeping bag) like the photo to left being sure to leave at least 7' of material BELOW your bedding. 

Next, bring the bottom material up and over your bedding.

Now, fold in the sides so that they meet in the middle and snap it up.  Also, fold over the remaining four feet and snap.  Now you're ready to roll everything up.

There's the finished bedroll ready for camping. 

Daypack

Here's a daypack I built awhile back and never got around to posting.  It is made of 18oz canvas with a leather bottom and leather strap closures.  It has a drawsting closure with a hidden zipper compartment under the flap.

Sponsorship

Here's the sign we had made for a sponsorship we did for a local cattle sorting.  We would also like to thank the Northstar Riders for putting it on - it was a lot of fun!

My shop

I recently cleaned my shop.  It is rarely ever this clean and organized so I took some pictures!!
