Welcome. To marriage. Without getting too detailed, 'n' stuff, I would recommend a slightly smaller thread -- that stuff looks bulky on a project this small (my opinion).

Yep, right hand "inny". I personally don't like metal clips (largely because of what they do to my belts), but that's what she wanted, so ....

Yep, or so small you might well not even put em on there! I tried to make it look a bit 'holographic'.. just so there was some kind of flare in it

Better with the pics? This is low power. How low? Bout 2 feet Power lines down all over ...

Trick to this one, figure out how to find room on that little thing for a clip AND initials .

Wait.. what .. Some free download patterns on my site - and this is the point. A guycould make those little projects. If it don't "work out", not out much of anything. And if it does work out, then you have an actual useable item you can use or sell, not just some scraps sewn together. For most projects, you'll want rubber cement (or contact cement), stitching awl, harness needles, something to burnish edges with ...

Goin by this, I should have power again about Tues

Nice! Clean lines, good color, tight stitchin', jus the right amount o' detailin'... AND a fella customizin' them patterns to suit (no wheel reinventing)

Sweet! Good to see someone offering some actual real assistance around here. For the record, I don't have that one (though I did start one and will get back to that as time allows). Just wanted to commend you for your offer to help the next guy!

Over simplified, the "general rule" is whatever you add to the front, you will need to take from the back. I will get to an actual article about this, but when I do I'll put it on the site, rather than here on LW.

Is there such a thing as a mold for the King Cobra?

It will depend on the model of gun. Can't really get a 'solid' answer from "how big is a holster?" or "how long is a belt?" But I can tell you that one version of the Sig P320 is about 7/8" difference between teh back and the front - which I know because I measured it the other day.

I'd like these. Paypal work for you? Beretta PX4 Storm Ruger SR9 Ruger LCP W/ LaserLyte Glock G17 (Gen3)

Just to be clear, I used teh Tandy link because they had a good pic. I was not "recommending" getting anything at Tandy, nor was I warning against it. I also do not advocate allowing a spouse in any store

You can see pics of all the above https://www.tandyleather.com/en/category/snaps The "segma" snaps are line 16

Yeah, it was largely the hand stitchin' that makes it not worth the trouble I personally do NOT like line 20 or 24 snaps on a belt. Just causes a bunch of bulk (they sit pretty high). If I make a belt with snaps (and I DO) then I use line 16 (3 of em). For a "thumb break" on a holster, I use the 24's, simply because that's the 'look' people are accustomed to (like a "reinforcement" panel -- not necessary, but some folks think it belongs there). Teh 24's would be fine on something scabbard sized. But you'll likely want leather heavier than those can go through. Bad news.. it may mean more sewing Put the snap through a small (and decoratively shaped) piece of lighter leather (say, 6 oz?) and then sew that piece with the snap onto the main body. You know.. think ranger belt

Much of it cosmetic .. "curb appeal". Some factors: Not much difference in the holding strength between line 20 and line 24 snaps, and line 16's are stronger than a guy might think. Line 16 will set in 8/9 leather - the 20 and 24 may not. The line 16, while strong enough, may not look 'proportional' on a rifle case. I use those "hand" setters, seem to work fine. Trick is to get teh snaps from one place, since they vary from one place to another. You can get a press/dies to set all of these (plus others) but I'd have to have some volume to make it worth setting that up. While a guy "could" make a case for $300, I personally would not (though, no opinion formed if the next guy does).

Sent. Some of these suppliers out of control -- ordered shark 5/23, got a "tracking number" the same day, found out that number was wrong only after contacting THEM 9 days later... and now shows delivery perhaps Monday ...

I mean this.. don't matter if teh screws are #6 or #8, long as they aint 1/4" and they're about 3/4" long. So teh spacers would need to be about 3/4" (though I can cut those if that's a problem), and the t-nuts match 6-32 or 8-32. Washers 'n' flatheads, don't matter if they're black or stainless .

You got clips inch anna quarter wide? Not like 1 1/4" belt, but fit 1 1/2 or 1 3/4" belt and the CLIP is 1 1/4" wide? have to hunt a minute for the parts in one pic.. never occured to me to take a pic of them

Anybody got a couple sets you can let go of? 2, or 10, whatever. Paypal is fine, but i want 'em mailed. No patience for some "company" to take my money on Friday and not ship anything 'til middle of next week or later. Need the t-nut, spacer, washer and screw.... for full size automatic holster. Whatcha got? LONG AS I'M AT IT ... I could use a few belt clips, too. Something in the 1.25" wide range.

Been a while, but i used to get them at http://stleather.com/2015-p09.html They never update the site, or their catalog either I think. But teh product has always been good -- just call 'em.

Yeah, this is really what I was referring to. Well, I was just unwinding in a slightly silly way -- really didn't intend to suggest to the next guy that he should or should not work with someone else. Not my business equals none of my business But if something was gained from the conversation, even better! Crazy ride there for a while... moving, selling houses (more than one), buying houses, getting taxes submitted (though not "filed"), getting kids in schools (more than one kid and more than one school), insurance and driver licenses and vehicle registrations and .... phew Getting back to work will be like a vacation.

Your dowel is showing. Otherwise, looks good as usual

Actually, I think the reverse is true -- selling "through" someone else is likely to do LESS for your name than selling it yourself. On the face, someone "helping" you may seem like an okay idea. Say you sell something through "Jeff's store". But people like it, or they don't. IF they don't, most will move on and not think about it again -- just another something they bought that turned out not to be what they thought it would be. IF they do like it, or maybe their buddy likes it, and they want more -- where do they go? They go "to Jeff's" - that's where you get those. Anybody see an issue here?
