    You have outdone yourself again Chuck. That’s off the hook.

    I have a Lawrence holster made for a big 44 Blackhawk. It was made like a normal holster but had a big rectangular slot cut out for the big rear sight that was not covered at all.

    Seems like each cartridge would need circumference (,44 x 3.14) plus spacing (around 3/4) is 2.13 in per cartridge (approx) plus an inch to start and end. Cut it longer for good measure. I use a micrometer, wrap the leather I am using around a cartridge, mike it and lock the mike and use it to mark spacing. If you don’t have a 44 case I can mail you a few.

    I do cartridge diameter plus 2 leather thicknesses. Need to wet mold with a loaded or resized case, not fired. The expansion makes a difference. Length depends on number of cases.

    Won’t rot thread. Very weak acid. Can neutralize it with baking soda and water. Don’t really matter how much. Makes leather harden a bit for me, more than wet molding. Leather will stink for about 2 weeks. Sealer covers the smell mostly. Will freeze and break your jars, otherwise seems stable. I do 2 coats to get a deep black. Looks kinda gray till you oil it.

    Chuck, is that a Trapdoor Springfield in the background?

    Wow. Hopalong Cassidy would be envious.

    A friend who does leather came by to see how I make valet trays. He wanted to know how I made them rigid wet formed. I showed him but he uses only chrome tanned leather. I said I did not think that’s possible. Is there a stiffener to dip/brush on chrome tanned that will stiffen it?

    A friend wanted this tip replaced on this Browning leather rifle case. Any idea on source for these? Thanks. David

    Is a bumbag what we call a fanny pack in the USA?

    I also had some in plastic containers that did not break. I assume it will mix back up.

    We had some temps around zero F the other day. My vinagroon glass jar froze and broke. I would think the vinegar would be a lower freezing point.

    Should use those just as it stands. I as thinking that was the standard needle system for 111.
  21. MarlinDave
    Gem clips if you put scrap leather under them to keep from marking the good stuff.

    New pistol

    Neat, clean, effective, no extra leather to be in the way.

    Alcohol will lighten/remove Feibings Pro dye. I use it for cleanup. I have lightly rubbed leather with a paper towel and alcohol to get dye and edgekote off. Will take dye off, sometimes a lot, depending on how you put it on. Was dye Sprayd, , dip dyed, dauber?
  24. MarlinDave
    If it is alcohol based dye, and you hav not sealed it, a rag dampened with alcohol will take some dye off. Hard to do evenly.

    Here is one example. Supposed to be fat wrinkles or dyed veg tan due to overfed cattle.
