Had to make....
« on: September 12, 2019, 05:03:51 PM »
a slight modification to my pouch as the first location I put my ball seater was at an angle on the flap of the pouch but it wasn't static enough when slipped back into the sleeve I made for it so the revision I've made now has solved the problem of having to bend over and pick it up off terra firma! :hairy :yessir:

I've found that direction / location of setup to be best for me as well, Hawken.  :hairy

Joe, the leather in that bag looks soft as a baby's behind.
What did you make that out of.?

I was thinking the same thing. That's beautiful leather, and really nice work.

Oops, I got bumfuzzled, that nice bag belongs to Hawken!   :bow

I have only one bag, that was gifted me by Big Smoke, that is relatively soft.
The others that I have personally made are nowhere near as flexible, and although I treat them all the same...the leather never seems to get "soft".
I'm now thinking that soft is a lot more desirable, which may be the reason I have preferred the Big Smoke bag for the past 12 or 14 years....it also has a small pocket on the strap for a short starter.
In fact, all my bags, except maybe two, have the starter on the strap.
