  1. 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"?
  2. Sounds like you shoulda went with Sam Andrews' video Holster looks purdy good tho ...
  3. 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
  4. looks like it should easy carry on a 4-wheeler too.. if that's a consideration. or a snowmobile
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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 ...
  8. Fully lined, worked great. Customer got a bit "distorted" when I told him I wouldn't make him one for FOUR mags ?@!
  9. 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 ...
  10. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Dye-Reducer-32oz
  11. SOLD (but i'll box up some more directly )
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. SHOOT .. shoulda been checkin round here! Got a small bit ready to get out the way.... I'll make it fit in a priority box $18 for all this (other words, you pay the shipping -- the leather is free )
  15. Never been a huge fan o the rough out, but you almost change my mind -- that looks NICE
  16. Most any craft store will have ribbon in various widths and colors. Or if a guy uses leather lace, you could use that as well (though if you mark mulitiple pages like I do, that might create enough bulk to not be good for your book binding). I have been known to buy these ... though a guy with a scrap of leather and some ribbon could easily make them from "scraps" . Note similar stuff is available with adhesive, like peel and stick to the inside of the binding. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LG9TYHX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Some folk is determined to use it... so ... say lah vee ...
  17. Assa nice color. Maybe a little smoother in the matting around the cross (probably the angle and the glare making it show up as much), and then there's that spot on the back panel. Oh, wait... that's a spot of something on my screen Seriously, I like it.
