RichK Report post Posted February 17, 2015 I want to make a leather holster for a blank gun. What is the process of creating a pattern for an item like this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you scroll down to the Gun holster, Rifle Sling, Knife sheath forum heading, there are several pinned topics there. Look for making Cow boy holster tutorial and Holster design (Long). Both of those demonstrate drawing your own pattern. Basicaly take a manilla file folder open it up set the sights of the the gun on the center line of the folder, gently roll the gun over on to its side. Holding the gun in place trace around it. Now take a pencil and draw the shape of the holster around it, adjust the lines until you get a shape that suits you. The tutorials I mentioned will go into more detail. ALso for about $9.00 you can down load the al stohlman How to make holsters book from the Tandy's Leathercraft Library. There is a holster pattern in the book that would work for that gun. The book its self gives you most of the information you need on how to make a holster. Edited February 17, 2015 by camano ridge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
