Make it Jones

Post by car96 »

Just placed my order with MIJ for all LC styles.

Going with the gunbelt, whip holder, gun holster and the bag strap. Gonna look good.

David also makes awesome bridle leather falls. I have them on my DM and JM bullwhips! Toughest hide I've ever seen! :whip:

Um... yeah, that's an essential piece of gear for an Indiana Jones enthusiast. Get crackin'! :whip:

The whip was one of my last purchases. I was a slow poke but finally got one! At everyone's insistence of course. :)

I just can't justify $500 plus dollars on something I will get pretty much zero use out of unless wearing all my Indy gear.

Then again, I don't want a piece of costume junk either.

I think when I do decide since I am not all that far from Crease and Coral (Vidor, Texas) I will go with his LC version.

Anyone talk to them lately? What is the wait time? I know Penman, John (Bending Oak) is a big fan of his work.

My whip is a Calceado (sp?) made by Gus Calceado, a member here. Sorry I cant remember his SN but I got it in the bazaar for around $200 and it is GREAT. I absolutely love it. Cracks and looks great.

The whip was my very first 'official' gear purchase back in 1997 at the dawn of IndyFan.com / Indy's Diggs. I went straight for a David Morgan, back when his prices were still reasonable and he was personally involved with making each whip. Prior to that, I'd used a variety of cheap 8-plait cowhide bullwhips, then a nice American-made 10-plait latigo. Once I made the jump to the real Indy whip, I never looked back. :D

Mine was when I was a toddler, from the IJESS gif shop at "MGM Studios". Those wonderful shiny black whips. :)

Where can I find a Webley that will fit in a holster of 5.5 inches (made by MakeItJones)?

It does not have to be completely SA.

You can buy a fully functional Webley MK6 airgun (which is a LOT of fun to shoot!): http://www.airgundepot.com/webley-mkvi-revolver.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yes, that is cool & I do want one.

I just don't want to pay 189 + for one.

Gear from David, Make It Jones, came in today.

I am happy with it. You just can't take for granted custom craftmanship these days; a great skill to have.

The gun belt could be a little smaller.

He does really great work-great leather smell.

I would love your comments & thoughts.

Congrats on your new stuff, Car. It looks amazing.

David's job is near to perfection, I love the look of the bag strap and holster. I have the same stuff and the whip holder works perfectly.

Enjoy it for many, many years :TOH:

Hi guys, new to cow, but some of you may know me from other forums. I too have purchased some Raiders leather items, and simply must agree with the above that they really are made by a fan, with care and respect.
Thanks to David for making them available, and i'm glad heard of him before l bought something inferior. Cheers

Many thanks for the kind words - 10 year anniversary of making gear for me now. It's been great to have the opportunity to build and develop those skills and craftsmanship and help a heap of other fans complete their collections along the way!
