Well folks.....Ive got more news. Life is truely ironic at times

As some of you already know, 6 weeks ago, I got laid off and decided to make gunleather as a profession. I spent my life savings on leather equipment and a new website is coming online.

My website is better than ever, I bought a very nice stitcher ($$$$$ cough, choke) and I started to market my Gun Leather locally, with CZUSA and a couple of the better forums like THR, CZForum and others.

I even got a stellar review by Mr. Stephen Camp...that was very very cool. Thanks again Mr. Camp aka "Hey You"

I had NO PLANS to do anything but gun leather for basically the rest of my life, as the Industrial sales market hasnt been what I'd hoped it would be and finding a "decent" paying job was almost a joke....ok, it was worse than that!

I however got a call a couple of mornings ago from a company that Id interviewed with for well over a year...a while back.

This is the only place that could temp me away from fulltime cowhide wrustling...........and they made me an offer I couldnt refuse....Thus.....my fulltime venture is on hold for a while...

The benefits of doing leather are great and many. I was going to train under a "leather guru" for a week or two in early August to 'fine tune" some of the finer points of holster making. Man.....I was rolling in the right direction very quickly.....and with great feedback thus far, to say the least.

But....my lack of income to start, insurance, a CAR! and other reasons...mainly the $$$$$$$$ they offered me made me consider this and accept this position.

I start being a salesman again next week.....which I love BTW.

Ill still be doing hoslters on a VERY part time basis.....so dont give up hope if you want one......it will just take longer than the 1 week Ive been putting them out in, as of late.

I honestly am very confused by this decision....but felt I had to take the offer given to me. A BIG part of me knows I will be letting some of you down...as the CZ world needs good stuff to keep their guns warm and happy. Yet, its a great relief at the same time.

I know I made a good choice.....
I didnt push these guys for well over a year because it would suck to work there! You know?

I want to thank each and every one of you for the support and great/kind words you have to say about my gun leather.

I WILL NOT STOP MAKING LEATHER.....and now, I can enjoy making them more so than ever.......hobbies are better than jobs........just be patient with me.

Again thanks for every one of you....Im not gone...just not here as much as I was......................

Shoot well Eric Larsen HBE S-LWX

Nice! Good news. Good for your customers too, that you can keep up the holster-makin'.

Eric, you have got to do what you have got to do. Good luck to you.

Hmm, I never could find a holster for my Ruger Bearcat. Crossdraw maybe so it wouldn't be in the way of my hogleg for those trips?

Could you?

I also got a British commando knife sheath that could stand some fixin. New leg straps sewn on, new upper with a real snap instead of the worn out elastic?

Interested? PM me if so.

Everything works out for the best. Congratulations and good luck in the new job. By the way, could you sell ice cubes to eskimos?
