Jordan Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Just a quick question, If I ws to purchase some of the pattern packs that tandy offers are they the same patterns? I want to avoid duplicating if I already got some I don't think I need to buy more of the same...Jordan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Jordan..the guy who basically wrote all those patterns (Mr. Ghormley)just joined the forum in this thread: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?s...ic=1341&hl= Go to his website: http://www.willghormley-maker.com/OWCBuckles.html you'll see not only the patterns everyone buys, but ones that aren't usually at tandy's and others.

The Ghormley patters will teach you to make pre 1890 Western holsters. The Stolhman book has patterns for Relvolers and there is a 1911 auto pattern. With the information given you can adapt the patterns for modern handguns all said that book was copyrighted in 1962. and as you know a lot of changes in firearms has happened...

Bighearn Report post Posted February 27, 2008 I just bought it at Tandy Monday. I don't know what patterns you already have but if you want I can list what is in there for you so you can decide. I bought it more for the how to than the patterns. I am finishing up a shoulder holster for a friend and the book was very helpful as this will be my second scratch holster. Not made from a pre formed pattern. I did copy some ideas from the US goverment though. I have an old shoulder holster us gov issue and I really like the one shoulder strap design as opposed to yoke and two shoulder etc. I'll post when I get finished. But let me know if you want the pattern list and I will post it for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for the offer, I already have the stolhman book and was curious as to how much duplication the was in the pattern paks so I don' buy a bunch of duplicates, Money is the problem right now, as in I don't have any to waste.
