My newest hobby...

I haven't been around much lately and thought I would share some of what I have been working on. I've only been doing this since the first of January so don't flame me too bad

These pictures will get progressively better and are in order of make, I've had a blast doing these, and for anyone interested this is really a pretty fun hobby to play with.

It's only been a year, since I haven't been around much I thought I would update. This has really turned into a full fledged small business for me. I work my normal 40 and do this another 30-50 hours a week, it may become a full time gig before it's said and done.

I started making gun belts, rifle slings, and rifle cuffs which have been VERY popular. I miss my Mustang family just don't have the free time I used to!

So you are still alive! Glad to see this little business is starting to take off. You must use a different work week/calendar as I am not sure how you fit all those hours (plus school) into 7 days

I figured I would check in to make sure my old friends are alive, and post some new updates. For those asking the only real concealment offerings are OWB at this time, I don't make IWB style rigs for a few reasons at this time. In case I didn't include it I now have a website Bigrobsgunleather

Had a pretty big price increase first of the year and to date have finished more since the end of December than I did all of last year. Been keeping me VERY busy. I spent what could have been a nice centrifugal 'charger on a sewing machine to aid in the process as well. It paid for itself in a month as I've done more belts since I got it than I did in all of 2012.


Finished this one just last week. My first over the pants belt, not to shabby.

This is my 'go to' combination for most folks.



A natural Blackhawk rig:



Throwback to a 50-60's style speed scabbard:



A nice 'Modified Pancake' rig, fully lined and basket weaved:



I just like this photo:



A natural sling and cuff set:



A super nice antiqued rig:



Awesome new machine:



Simple rig for a Ruger Sr9c:



My 'standard' for belt orders:



First rig off my new machine:
