yep :wink: the stamps are fairly cheap at the Tandy leather store. the skull stamp was about $4 and the barbed wire set was around $10. the wire print was very time consuming though :lol: everything together only cost 46 bucks and will probably last a lifetime due to the thickness :D

Very cool--I like what you did with that thing!

Where did you get the padded shoulder thing? Did you make it, too?

actually the pad was robbed from the thin fender strap for now. I just cut the slots bigger and slid it on :wink: the leather piece I was going to make the pad out of was ummm ruined during the process :lol: so that part will have to be attempted again......

You could go into business and sell those on eBay you know. I figure that is about a $150 strap.

that's not a bad idea I might make another one and auction it off to see what happens :wink:
