Just beautiful.

Thanks for posting that, now when I send in my order to Yo/Bo, I can just include that picture and say, "Make me that." Except mine will be blued.

Just don't tell my wife, :twisted:!

Congratulations Matt. That "heater" will certainly keep you warm :D

Is it getting a new holster or are you stuffing it in an "old friend"?

Either case, we need to see pictures!

And Ray, nice work, as always.

If this is indicative of what Ray is capable of after a "short" time, you guys better look out! :wink:

Thank you guys for all the nice comments.

I really appreciate the words and encourgement that this new guy has received from the other smiths. ( I have been building guns for almost exactly one year now.)

Best,

Ray

Beautiful job Ray.. If you can learn the gunsmithing business in that short a time, you should also take up holster making!
If you would like to apprentice in Buffalo, we can start you out in our thong measureing department :lol:

Good Lord, Matt! I don't even want to know where you found that photo!

Hhmm, a Yo-Bo BHP and 1911- business must be good! :lol:

Very nice work, Ray - as usual. And if Buffalo is too far to travel, you come to north Phoenix and help me take measurements for my new exotic-leather clothing line for exotic dancers for my subsidiary company:
Garrity's Fun-leather. Somehow I keep loosing the measurements and calling the girls back into the shop for re-fitting. The wife is getting pissed!

Matt, shame on you for posting a pic of Lou's sister on the web! I bet you didn't even get a models release? :shock:

Don't fall for it Ray! That IS a picture of one of Mark (Huggy Bear) Garrity's "dancers". I hear it's a REAL cheap club. :D

If that lady ever showed up at the shop for a thong, I wouldn't allow Ray to measure her.. She's more my Father-in-laws type! :?

I'm gonna make you eat your words. I just finished a photo shoot with a local model this morning and the photos should be added to my web-site within a week. Stay tuned...

Ray,
That is one gorgeous gun!
Really has the specific Yo-Bo look.
Your checkering and grip safety fit are particularly superb.
Nice job, buddy!
:D

Very nice, Ray. I, too, took notice of the checkering. A very "classic" look. :thumbsup:
