I've been attempting to put my efforts to a more economical use as of late. I struggle with the beauty side of things, but construction/quality will last a lifetime. Though never having been in law enforcement or combat, I've been fortunate to spend my life on ranches, and have therefore had an excellent proving ground for what I build. A host of mistakes and failed projects.......well, both continue to happen. But they're starting to be less frequent, anyway.

As Mr. Nichols can attest, I can get a bit annoying and hard to shake when it comes to talking about leather.
