  1. Looks good! My only 'coulda, woulda, shoulda" would be the mark from the sewing machine foot. Avoid them. Or if you can't avoid them, remove them. Or if ya can't avoid them and cant remove them, use a creaser or folder to BLEND them
  2. AvengerLayout.pdf A "50/50" pancake and what most call an "avenger" is THE SAME LAYOUT. If you already have a "pancake" pattern, you could give me a few bucks for an "avenger" pattern, OR YOU COULD just cut the front end off your "pancake" and mirror it, as discussed in this YEARS OLD article by sumdummy ...
  3. No fair double dipping I don't go that deep in the port simply because i dont' want anything "catching" on it.. I want the holster to slightly "smooze out" the profile - like the snow fills a ditch - so it doesn't catch shirts, pockets, etc.. and telegraph that it's there. Holster looks good, though ... and nuthin' I said should be taken as "negative" or "bad" ... just each his own. I AM wondering how you got the trigger area so F L A T ...
  4. yours are very much like what i'm talking about and I like to use graph paper (do they still call it that?) for the scale, but a guy could just put something in the scan for scale (to be sure it prints correct size later)
  5. Found some patterns in the dark fringes of the computer... but ... wondering if I should make them available... They aren't "mirror image" or what I call "50/50", so I wonder if folks would appreciate these, or just ruin some leather not realizing they aren't "pancake" or "50/50"?
  6. Sounds like you shoulda went with Sam Andrews' video Holster looks purdy good tho ...
  7. 1) drain holes 2) blow holes (guy kin git that burned powder out the bottom with some air.. before it becomes ROUGE in the leather) 3) breather hole ... eliminating drag due to suction
  8. looks like it should easy carry on a 4-wheeler too.. if that's a consideration. or a snowmobile
  9. SOLD ... look for more soon
  10. Yeah, I suggested 2 belt loops behind the mags INSTEAD OF the slots outside the mags, since 4 mags for that gun would wrap about 1/3 the way around me He didn't like that idea.. aint sure why.
  11. Yeah, tha's like an 8" barrel... er 8 ana half? My buddy got a super redhawk, made him a belt holster for it but my I couldn't wear it that way ... too hard on my KNEE
  12. Thanks Yeah, I think he did say something about competitions. I suggested since I already made this one, he might just want to go with another one just like it. 4-mag made in this style would be PURDY WIDE. Might have to post the pattern fer a few bucks ...
  13. Fully lined, worked great. Customer got a bit "distorted" when I told him I wouldn't make him one for FOUR mags ?@!
  14. I need a friend come along hepp me carry that thing
  15. Reviving this one... found these in a box in a dark corner... didn't realize they wuz still here! All together for $80 .... and we pay half the shipping (we'll split it with ya). Approximately 23-24 square feet (4 pieces). It's H.O. "A" grade, but it is bellies. Still, about $3/foot ...

  17. idunno ... yet.
  18. SOLD (but i'll box up some more directly )
  19. Save some headaches and a LOT of time - order the pre-dyed leather if its' available in the shades you want. Dyeing it yourself "works", but you're likely going to end up with inconsistent shades (important for those who order 10 or 20 of something and want them to match). PLUS - you'll be out the time to order the dyes, to mix the shades, dip the parts, wait for drying and have the ROOM to dry that many parts, while still having space to work on something else while those are drying. Seriously, if you were making "one of" products, then dye it yourself and store less inventory. But if you're doing "50-100" pieces, buying the leather already dyed is a no-brainer. We've ordered drum dyed black for a long time... since it's SO popular in formed holsters. Yes, I order natural leather- mostly for projects getting tooled - and a few other colors I keep a bit of. But around here, an order of 6 or 8 would be about as big as it normally gets (infrequently goes outside of that). Wickett-Craig sells drum dyed skirting without a 20-side minimum, if that's your only concern. But if you're making HUNDREDS of pieces and like H.O. leather, I'd suggest just bite the bullet and get the 20. The TIME and LABOR you save will astonish you.
  20. OOOPS... this aint fit in a priority box. Thassa 15" ruler, so .... maybe bump up to $18.50? I'll toss this in a box and gitter weighed.. pay the shippin an' it's yern. Most pieces big enough for a knife sheath, some would make a holster .... I won't cut anything unless it don't fit in the box. Most is 7/8 oz, but there's a bit of 5/6 and a tad of 3/4. Okay.. this FILLS a box 16" x 12" x 7
