1911 White Lizard Holster
JLSleather replied to Boriqua's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Different, but I LIKE this! I might have personally tried the white stitching around the inlay also, but that would have been a MISTAKE .. MUCH nicer this way! Oh, and yes --- there is a REASON for the stitch design, BEYOND cosmetic. -
Package #2 (colors) is sold.

Welcome -- more coming soon!

Been thinking about a lathe for a long time.. not sure it would pay to do it. It's not so much the cost of the lathe, as the cost of the concrete footing I'd need to put under one! Still, I got yet another email today from a popular tooling place I used to shop at...

Ruger 1911 Wet Mold Holster Help!
JLSleather replied to indidana's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
HEY! Keep in mind that is available FREE over there on the big kid site It's only on etsy for those who are already over there anyway -- and etsy won't let you list it as free, so.... Just click the 'free' link below... -
Actually, I don't "peripheral" ANYTHING.. usually quite clear what I'm intending. I don't 'sneak', and anything I say can be repeated by anyone who cares to. Nothing under the table around here. When I called and complained about what I received, there was a gal told me once split it's "done" (which I had never been told before, and I thought was ridiculous). When I suggested if this is what they sell, perhaps I should go back to HO - that gal told me "we don't care'. Fair enough. But I ordered again anyway. Now, granted we're not talking HUGE orders here, but I don't really care to have 5 sides laying in the way that I'm not going to use. But it's hardly "commentary" when you have photos... I'm freely stating this leather is not some I'm willing to use for what I do. If someone is able to use it, fine. After moving it out of my way 3 or 4 (or 8) times, it would occur EVEN to someone no smarter than me that this stuff doesn't even belong in the same BIN as the $10/foot stuff I ordered. And speaking with 4 "reps" (2 of them more than once) comes a time when it's clear that no amount of conversation is helping the situation. Perhaps because I didn't return whatever they were sending, maybe somebody decided I was ignorant enough I'd just take anything? Don't know. I used to see absolutely great leather from out there. I don't know what changed, and I don't intend to look into it any further. I don't run their business. I just know I paid about $10/foot (plus shipping) and got this..... so, does why really matter? Bright side, though!!! Since I'm not ordering it, there's all the more for you boys (woohoo!).

AHA. I knew there was something like this around here somewhere.... 1911_05ba.pdf -

JLSleather replied to indidana's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I did put a pattern up in teh other post about this. I personally think a screw for retention is strange on this one, but each his own. I do have a "plain" one around here somewhere .... -
Package #2 is 7" x 7" x 37" (except where it's bulging ) and weighs somewhere between 13-14 pounds (too much for my little scale).
-
Package #1 is 7" x 7" x 17" and weighs just under 6 lbs -- may help give an idea of shipping charges.
-
Oh, I forgot to mention... I take PayPal, or you can bring cash and pick it up (which is even better, actually -- and likely to get you some more free stuff! ).
-
Starting to drag the stuff out and see what's there. Check teh for sale section... crazy good price if you got a use for this. Two batches pictured.. likely have one more in there somewhere!

I want to note that this leather is not the same firm, great looking leather I use (hence the 'dump'). Even where it is long enough, this leather is NOT suitable (in my opinion) to be used for belts (or straps which will take significant stress). Should be fine for pet collars, wristbands, backing exotic leathers, stiffeners, inserts and welts, verifying patterns, etc.

Next --- round 2... This is closer to 20 feet (retail $200)... the squares on teh floor are 13"x 13". Again, $50 + shipping
-
This is the first wave... cleaning out around here. Ice breaking on the river today, meaning walleyes in about 2 weeks ... The longest piece is nearly 6 feet long. Pull it together (touching) and you got about 13 sq feet. Rows individually are about 9" wide, 8.5", 6", and 7". Leather is 7/8 oz. Black is very flat color, but a little damp and it DOES buff up. Scratches and wrinkles here and there. Retail at W/C would be about $130-140. Truth is, I wouldn't pay that if I had seen it, and don't really even care to do business with anyone who would have this in the "premium" pile. Whatever -- done deal now. That said, I'd take $50 and shipping.

Did anybody else notice that I switched the male and female parts of the snap? PLUS, where's jason? If there ever was a spot for a flat-back holster, this is it
