Hello Dawn;

I was wondering if you have or will have in the future 15-99 stainless steel dogs.  Thank you.

Thank you.  Finding 15-99 in stainless steel dogs are like trying to find hens teeth.

It isn't easy, but you could definitely make your own.
When we started these upgrades, Lee was making them by hand.
I still have all the dogs he made by hand at the beginning.I'm keeping those like jewelry.🙂

Drill press, hacksaw and a file. They can be hand made.

I was trying to avoid making them at home.  I can scribe.  I have a drill press, and I have files, and a hacksaw.

I'm in no position to make you one at the moment, but tomorrow I will check if I find one for you and send it out at n/c.
Not promising, I'm really not sure I'll find one, if I do it's yours.
I will let you know.

Sal


Did not find any, but I see no problem modifying one from another dog with minor alteration.
PM me your address when you get a chance.

Got it!
Give me a couple of days, I'm trying to rearrange my workshops a little and will be hard to get to what I need.

Hey Sal how come I did not see your magic shop when I was there?  All I saw was your trophy room, but I was too polite to ask where do you really do your work.  Now I see why you did not show it to me... :D ;D  Dominick

No invitation needed paisano, you could check that room out any time.

I think the bulge gave me away.  Now that I've lost weight I think I can get that 16/0 under my shirt.   ;D  Dominick

It doesn't look so bad to me Sal.  I'd be embarrassed to show you a real mess.  We can't all be Fred.

Hello Eddie, my shop is still upside down, but your dogs did go out this morning.
Let me know if they work out.

Best, 

Sal
