Please do!  I'm sure that many would appreciate that, including myself.  I'm making this scaled down version for my son, but I plan on making a couple full size bags for myself in the near future.  An actual plan and templates would be a nice change to my approach.

Thanks Bob!

After 3 days of criss crossing the high lonesome and wearing out my tire chains, I finally got a break.  No chains today!  Here's the view heading west from Eisenhower tunnel looking towards copper mountain.  Sort of put me in the mood for mountain manny things, so I'm working on my son's possibles.  Got the closure button done and moved on to the strap.  Now it's time to work on the ball pouch. Thanks for looking!  Josh

Nice possible bag Josh. You're son will surely love it and all his Dad is doing for him.

Your Son is going to be proud of that, Josh.

And the last rime I saw that view was 1977, moving to Glenwood Springs. Pretty country.

Your Son is going to be Stoked to get that bag - beautiful ! That shot over the hood and the cab shots take Me back - sure don't miss it tho ,17yrs was enough  . Be safe Driver ! Bob

Saw that view a number of times in '84 when I commuted to Glenwood Springs!  You were almost close enough to stop in for coffee😀😂!  Real nice bag!  I am still trying to get to the patterns cache to find the template, might have to make a new one.  Get my hand out of the semi splint 16 March, then I get to work on strength and flex stuff, but should be able to start simple things like sanding arrow shafts, and peeling bark.  Have to make a "craft" tool box for the wife, so that is a priority honey do😀.

Thanks fellas!  I got the bag done, the horns done, and now the  ball pouch is done.  I use a simple heart pattern for my ball pouches and shoot for the proper size to hold 100 balls.  With my son's.32 that's pretty small.  Here's how that came out...oh and best guess worked like a charm on the size this time.  I'm usually not that lucky.  Josh

[Josh B]

Here he is with his new kit after I got it all put together for him.  Nevermind the pieces of cereal on the floor.  Daycare kids....  He was pretty stoked.  There will be a few additions and changes made, but it's pretty much done.  Thanks for following along!  Josh

That set up turned out great Josh.  He looks like a future mountain man.  That leather looks like some of Clyde's.  I'm sure he would've been happy it was used for a project like this.

[Josh B]

Thanks Clint!  Yep...that is some of Clydes leather.  I hope he smiles down every time my son puts it on and gives the tree rats what for!  Josh

That is a great looking set of gear and his smile says it all.

Wow! We'll sign that lad up as a junior Buckhorn Skinner!!  He looks good in that outfit.  Shinin' times at Rendevous!😀  Nice work.  Sort of found the template for possible bags, had to get out the measure tape as it is a "how big or small do you want it? thing.   Will post tomorrow evening, I hope.  Life gets in the way!
Another high country storm brewing, so get the chains up to snuff - and stay safe out there.
