Of the Troops & For the Troops

I enjoyed the vid! One of my Dad's close friends when I was growing up was a purveyor of leather goods, mainly saddles, harness, boots, etc. though he'd did make me a holster for my first "sixshooter", a capgun of make I can't remember. I loved going to his shop. Something about the smell. That shop had been there since the 1870s and my visits were 100 years later. Sadly, its gone now. As a diehard Simply Rugged fan, it was a very enjoyable video.

Really...I DID!

here I had poor ole' Rob sitting at a bench slaving away. Drawing patterns on leather, with a stitching groover, overstitch tool, oblong punch, stitching awl, edge beveler, snap setter and an exacto knife all at hand. Working his fingers to the bone and sweatin' like a hound.

Who knew?

Great shop Rob & Jan!

BTW, Rob you're looking thinner friend. Keep up the good work!

Excellent, loved the tour, thanks for posting it.

...that I can buy that whole shop for 25 cents?!?

Great looking shop. You are Blessed, some day I got to come visit you .

A long way from your 8x10 in Alaska.

Thanks for the tour, Rob & Boge.

Really enjoyed the video. Couldn't believe how much Boge's voice sounded like Jeff.

I have one of the original "awl & knife" holsters. It's been my everyday carry rig since I got it. It's a permanent fixture on my pants belt. IIRC this was made while Rob was still in Idaho, just before he went to Alaska. Rob has offered to refinish on several occasions, but it is perfect for my purposes as is.

This picture was taken quite a while ago, and the the holster has seen considerable use since.

The best part for me was hearing Rob and Boge talk. Boge sounds just like his brother Jeff.

that Rob made on the side(s) of the road while en route to AK.

Mine is a little Silver Dollar shuck for my beloved M63. Rob wanted it back, a few years ago, for deep sixing, but the boys love it and I just can't bear to part with it.

Understandably, though, it doesn't hold a candle to any of his current offerings. It's just a throwback to ought-whatever, that still holds appeal and is damn useful.

......makes me want to take a road trip to see you again, and meet the family and crew.
