I have a Sunbody that I did a few years ago and it is one of my regular field hats when I am out collecting fossils or rock samples. I got it as an unshaped hat and did the shaping myself, just soak it and work in the shape. What you see is about as sharp a crease you can get without cracking the st...

Yeah I have the 1911 and SAA with 4.75 barrel (my regular mountain carry). I let the Colt Police and 1917 slip through my fingers recently but money has been tight. I can't beleive what some people are wanting for Webleys these days, some are approaching Python territory. Thing is just about all of ...

rebelgtp

Hmmm now to start collecting all of these. Actually there are a few that I already have in my collection and I had just got them because I liked them without the Indy connection.

rebelgtp

Nope by the looks of it I will be on the road all weekend so no parties for me. Though I will be wearing my fed.

Yeah but a Net book is much smaller than a file folder

Well at least my Acer Aspire one is. I got it for taking to school.

rebelgtp

Yep I have some of the same ones, got them about 3 years ago still in decent shape. They are tough as nails gloves. I have never noticed any out of the ordinary odors from them other that regular old work gloves smell. Mine were first used when I was doing field work in a rain forest so they have se...

rebelgtp

Yeah I think I'm going to keep Tommy in this case, the 1917 is a bit on the pricey side for what it is. I'm sure I will find another for a better price at some point.

rebelgtp

As in Thompson 1927-A1

rebelgtp

Alright I just made a big mistake...I went to my local shop and what should I find in the case? A Smith and Wesson 1917 .45...Must resist urge to take my Tommy down to sell and put part of the cash to the Smith. Its in very good shape, full barrel not cut down, has the lanyard ring. It was a Brazili...

rebelgtp

Yep use my MK to carry my cameras all the time. It fits my FM or F3HP perfectly even with my 80-200 attached, sometimes an extra lens or two a few extra rolls of film. When it comes to digital I find the D40 fits great and a nice combo is the D40 with a 18-200 attached. My D70 is a bit tighter fit, ...

rebelgtp

You know its funny I have only ever once had anyone make an Indy reference while I was wearing my feds. I have had more Indy references when I wore my old oil skin wide brimmed hat. I wore my fed to school the other day and a rather cute girl gave me a nice smile and said "Nice hat". She i...

rebelgtp

lol yeah when I saw the open body I was wondering if I would be able to pull off the shape but its really locked in the shape now. Amazing what a little water will do.

rebelgtp

As I mentioned in this thread I thought it was time for a new hat. I've been working on my paleontology quite a bit lately and I'll be working in the field quite a bit this spring and summer. Most of the areas will be harsh sun and not very fur felt friendly. I knew there were others here that liked...

rebelgtp

The closest shirt color from Cabelas for an Indy shirt is the "stone" color. Looks darn good, I have one in stone and OD

rebelgtp

at the moment my bag has a Nikon FM with a 50mm 1.8 lens, normally an extra lens, a small notepad, a couple pens and a few rolls of film.

rebelgtp

i've had one of the gun belts for a couple years now....in fact i need to punch a couple more holes in it cause it is to big for me now

Anyway it has really held up well to quite a bit of use. I will even wear it as a regular belt with my jeans and carhartts.

rebelgtp

the article didn't mention them but i did see them in the movie. I'm actually working on sourcing one. As for the use of Thompson they were still being used into the 60's. My dad has pictures of a guy carrying one in Vietnam. so lets see the new movie has made 3 of my guns screen accurate. well one ...

rebelgtp

At least if not all of the Carbines in the movie were M2s. The close up they did when Indy was holding the Sovs at bay you could clearly see the selector. As for the AKs in the movie, there were a few mistakes. Most were AKMs and not 47s and there were a few Chinese made ones in there as well. The ...

rebelgtp

well the type of leather to start with depends on the feel you want. do you want something softer or something harder? I normally will make them out of tooling leather, it can be made to be harder and is quite durable.

rebelgtp

Leatherwork is one of those things that can get very expensive to get into. The tools for it just like any tools that you buy are going to cost a bit for the quality. Cheap tools when it comes to leather work generally just do not work well. $250 for a leather bracer like that is insane. It basicall...

my mk and my federation would be my 2 most used pieces.

Yes, I've heard and read the same rumours, but the gunbelt buckle in CS is a totally new design with part of the buckle bend more backwards than the buckles seen in the previous films. Gery Deer has some gunbelts with buckles that seems spot on, but he does not sell buckles separately: http://www.t...

yeah there are tons of posts about Gus's whips. Having had mine for a couple months I love it. Its actually the whip I take with me when I go on trips and stuff as well.

I just wish it would stop raining here long enough to get some real good time in.

Funny I have a similar load in one of my MK's Nikon D40 with 70-300 lens pens and sharpies note pad extra batteries and memroy sometimes my creative Zen mp3 player.

you can order them from tandy leather or most other leather supply shops. i know i have a few dozen at home of various sizes and finishes.

A nice find. At least your Army Navy store actually carry "surplus" items. Mine only carries all new iems in military style. The only good Army Navy went out of business years ago. yep its rather nice its a small little place, loads of odds and ends, can buy used and new bdu's, bags, tons...

I have multiples of these crates (and can easily get more) I'll more then likely clean up one that I keep at home then keep the one for in the truck in the rough

The place that I got these at gets them by the pile

that is sooo nice and cheap to i wish i had one, Yeah they are very cheap, you couldn't even buy the hardware or wood for the cost of one. Funny thing is the day I picked it up I went to go meet my mom for lunch and she saw it in the back and said "oh that would make a nice flower box" :l...

rebelgtp

wow that is a BEAUTIFUL whip! especially for a first bullwhip! I can't wait to see what you start to do in the future, we may have a new whip maker available to us.

rebelgtp

I was needing a way to keep my gear together, both my Indy stuff and my "real life" gear. In these pics things are all kind of mixed together but I'm going to separate things out a bit more here in the next week or so. I have a couple "excursions" planned for this summer and it w...

Whoops! Remember, i didn't do it!! :-) All the best to you in your important work! Actually, in fairness to my ringer cobbers of old, there were tons of those common browns (I think that's what they were) around, and maybe they were redressing the ecological balance. Probably concerned for calves g...

I do a bit of field work in remote areas. A whip could come in handy in some emergencies - like climbing up a steep incline, or (more likely in my case) scaring away a scrub bull. But I've never carried one on my belt on the job. I might see if I can carry one in a field bag next time I'm miles fro...

I don't know where you are getting your information its not getting warmer, I woke up to fresh snow on the ground this morning and then a blizzard before noon

...I'm still wearing my US Wings goat and wearing a warm shirt under it.

rebelgtp

I try to as often as possible but with the rain and wet weather it makes it hard sometimes. Think I'm going to be ordering a nylon whip (I still havn't finished the one I'm making and heck I need more whips

)

rebelgtp

165,000 yen or roughly $1,590

dang those are big pockets

yeah the nylon whips actually should be MUCH stronger than even a roo whip. the nylon resists abrasion better and can take much more force to break an equal sized strand.

JR, I would be very carefull with any steam or water on thet hat. It will taper.

mine use to do that but they don't anymore guess I got them trained

I'd still recommend a whip from Gus, they really do not cost much for what you get. He also has a fairly fast turn around and is a really good guy to work with. If this is your first whip ever I can tell you once you crack it a couple times it will become addictive so it would be nice to have one th...

yeah it just takes awhile to get use to wearing a fed, its not the norm for us these days.
