Yul Lose Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) I met Non Stop a number of years ago at EOT in New Mexico and over subsequent EOTs I’ve got to know him as good as you can get to know someone seeing them once a year for 2-3 hours over a 5 day period or so. We kind of formed a friendship and last year at EOT we talked a lot about the Buffalo Soldiers and their roll in the old west. He showed me some pictures of some of the Buffalo Soldier artwork that he’s got in his house back in Texas. I had delivered the Blazing Saddles gun cart to some Texas folks the day before that he knew and I mentioned that a Buffalo Soldiers themed gun cart like that one might be pretty cool, he agreed. I told him that I’d probably build one someday. On the drive back home after EOT I thought about that a lot and working with a shooting pard of his, I got it built. The hard part was keeping it quiet so he’d be surprised at EOT, Misty Moonshine was kind enough to let me present it to him at the Grand opening Wednesday evening. I don’t know how it got omitted but Double Diamond deserves a whole bunch of credit on this build. The leather LOCAS, Regulator and all of the leatherwork was done by him. I call his work the makeup on a pretty lady, it just makes my work so much better. Edited March 3 by Yul Lose 30 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Beautiful, Simply Beautiful. Yul, while I may be able to build things that are structurally sound, I'm not worthy to sweep the sawdust off of your workshop floor. Amazing, as always! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangler Bob Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Yul: You never cease to amaze me with your craftsmanship. That cart is very functional; and a work of art. I think I'd be afraid to use it, but i would want everyone to see it as a tribute to our early military. Great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Beautiful cart, Yul. And a very fitting tribute to the Buffalo Soldiers and their contributions to our country. And to Non Stop - to be held in as high esteem as Yul holds you is the greatest compliment. Congratulations on your new work of art. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dan Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Beautiful tribute to a fine unit. I served in the 1/10 Cavalry at Ft Carson in 1985. Of the several Cav units I served in, the 1/10 Buffalo Soldiers was the proudest of their heritage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anvil Al #59168 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I am lucky that we have been able to shoot with Non-Stop for a number of years now. We hold him in very high regard. Can't think of anyone that deserves it more. And that fact that it can help bring attention to the Buffalo Soldiers story makes it even more assume. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well darn, I was thinking that I'm sure to see it in person when he comes to the Texas state match in May. Guess I'll have to settle for pictures. I do get to drool over see Big Iron Patnode's (it was for CoJack) Yul cart regularly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 My first big match was Comancheria Days in 2000. I was on Non-Stop and Gunzilla's posse.

Sixgun Seamus Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The pictures are great, but the cart is truly incredible in person. As always, Yul seems to outdo himself with every cart. I first met Non Stop and had the privilege to shoot with him in 2018. I am honored to call him a friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
