I have one. I last used it more years ago than I want to remember (or that I can remember?)

Black Delrin Maker Stamps... Anyone Use It?
steelhawk replied to Happy Hooligan's topic in Leather Tools
I ordered one from Jeff yesterday. It should be on the way. Really looking forward to using it. -
New Belt And A Few Knife Sheaths
steelhawk replied to rgepting's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Excellent job with that punch. I have one, but can never get the holes lined up straight on a double layer belt. The back side is always crooked. -
Machine Sewing A Holster
steelhawk replied to rccolt45's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
The roller guide is really good for straight edges and long curves. It gave me trouble on sharp curves so I operate manually around them. Maybe with more practice I won't have to do that. -
New Belt And A Few Knife Sheaths
steelhawk replied to rgepting's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Excellent work. Where did you get the belt buckle? I'm looking for some like that. -

Machine Sewing A Holster
steelhawk replied to rccolt45's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Hays, doesn't your machine have more than one type of presser foot? The Cobra 4 has both a right and a left single presser foot as well as the traditional double foot. You can swap the single ones out without having to move the leather if you goof up and are about to run off the edge. -
Machine Sewing A Holster
steelhawk replied to rccolt45's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
For me, it helped to slow the machine down to speed #4 for holsters. Glue up some pieces of scrap leather with curves like a holster and practice sewing on them. -
First Attempt At Vacuum Forming
steelhawk replied to Shaunny Rotten's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Can you give a bit more detail on your vacuum setup. More pics, etc. -
Twin Holsters And Gun Rig
steelhawk replied to Leatherbaron's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Those look great. You should be quite pleased with them. What did you use to make them black, and what finish is on them? -
Source For T Nuts
steelhawk replied to mlapaglia's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I had my local hardware store order me a full box of 6-32 nuts from Midwest Fastener. Much cheaper than buying them individually. You can't order from them yourself. -
I've tried to order from JRM several times as well and got nowhere. I haven't found what I want anywhere else, either.

Fighter Sheath
steelhawk replied to mark behnke's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Very nice. What kind of glue did you use that let you get away without stitching? -
Leather Consistency And Dye
steelhawk replied to DoubleBarP's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I've started using cotton balls tied up in of a piece of cotton cloth to apply my brown oil dye. It works better than daubers. I use a foam brush for the black dye. Eventually I will get an airbrush, but that will have to wait. I just finished this one the other day. -
Help With Samaurai Sword Sheath
steelhawk replied to Kcinnick's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
why don't you make him a brand new scabbard, then he can keep the original intact and retain the value. -
Avenger For Ruger P95
steelhawk replied to jetman1981's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I used vinegaroon on my last holster and the white nylon thread got some bleed off from it. Is there a way to prevent or minimize this? -
A Few New Holsters
steelhawk replied to steelhawk's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
They meet in the middle. I just looked at one I am making now and there is no visible gap. There was a little gap before I folded the holster and began gluing the body together, but I didn't do it on purpose. -

A Few New Holsters
steelhawk replied to steelhawk's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks, Jeff. Coming from you, that means a lot. I wore the holster in the last pic for the first time yesterday with my M&P9c. It is the most comfortable IWB I have made. -
Has anyone made a notebook cover where the top can be folded over to the back so when using it to write, it takes up only a bit more room on the desk than the pad inside?

Newbie Needs Some Help
steelhawk replied to mishka's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I made a double mag holder once for my double stacked mags. It turned out OK, but not great. Because of the varying thickness of the mags, it didn't come out looking like I thought it would. The mags weren't lined up properly because of the way the leather formed around them. I haven't made a double one since. -
A Few New Holsters
steelhawk replied to steelhawk's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks. I am currently wearing the new IWB. It is for my M&P 9c. I am pleased at how nice, and comfortable it is. Now I need to make more of them. -
Shipping Out Some Fancy Stuff, Part 2
steelhawk replied to Lobo's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I would be proud to own that, but maybe afraid to wear it for fear of dinging it up. -
I haven't posted pics for awhile. I just finished some holsters. Two IWBs for a Bodyguard .380 and a Glock 26. The third one is a deluxe IWB that I have been wanting to make since I found the plans here on Leatherworker. This is actually the second one, and also made with belly leather, but it turned out good, so I wanted to finish it properly.

Bowie Sheath
steelhawk replied to mark behnke's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks. This is what I need to build a sheath for. It belonged to my Grandfather. I hope mine is as good as yours.
