colt officer dummies
JLSleather replied to JLSleather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thinking more about the height, measured from top of slide to under frame, which on this one is about 39.7, depending on just where you measure. Seems about .060" tall. -

Oh, good thing this was here. Otherwise, where do you put this other part about design people? 'Show off" the design? Or "how do I" design? Or, "critique" the design? Or "suppliers" of the design? Seems most of the 'makers" of these are pretty binary... either on or off -- machined away or not. I would have thought 2-axis mills were about obsolete, but apparently not so much. So, ... at least had the benefit of a cheap design guy with a bit of taste! So this one should be about 7/8" x 7/8" And this one should be about 2 3/8" x 1.5" Both "tooled" in the black (white portions RAISED)

Tooled Wallet
JLSleather replied to Tim Schroeder's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Toolin' looks good, and I like the color choices. Maybe git sumthin' under the presser foot to prevent them stitchy marks? Pic too dark to tell, how'dya do the edges? -

Well, SHOOT! That new ranger belt didn't end up matchin' that EMP mag holster like.. AT ALL! Oh, well --- least they both for straight. -
Looks great! I never cared for all the "adjustable" in this type of thing, but unless the guy gives you a "size" whatya do?@!

Roper Wallet
JLSleather replied to Rolandranch's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Hmmm. The Cobra machine -- suposedly same machine -- would only waste time trying to sew that. Stitches would be far too loose. I really must get something ELSE.- 20 replies

colt officer dummies
JLSleather replied to JLSleather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Yeah, not end of the world type stuff. Just don't like feeling like I could have saved time by just tearing up 3 $20 bills and cutting the end off a commander mold -
colt officer dummies
JLSleather replied to JLSleather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Yeah, think it might run a bit tall. Pickin one up at the sport store sound kinda pricey Maybe that fella wants a holster should bring HIS up here - only about 500 miles -

I missed it --- didn't see no screw on the hook itself anywhere in that video.

JLSleather replied to JLSleather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Wow.. is that RIA THAT MUCH different from other 1911's? I have the Springfield full size, EMP and micro, as well as the colt commander .. and this cook's mold is markedly bigger than all of them. -

Apparently need to upload some more new toys to play with in the pattern section. Downloads slowed a bit past month, but still broke 169,000+. Still looking for the mold gun for the Sig 1911 Compact ...

After 2 days, 1 who says he responds "next day" still has not, and one who says it would take a while to arrive has messaged 3 times to see if I approve his drawing (which is MY drawing)

stamp.pdf Well, that was kinda the original idea, actually. Not everybody cares for them, but if a fella wants one it would be nice to know where to get one, and if someone got one (or more), and was happy with the work, it seems quite pathetic NOT to refer the person who did a good job for you. Seems like occasionally (at least) a guy could do something for the next guy without having to "get something". Maybe an attachment makes it a little easier to spot? stamp.pdf

Sometimes I get reminded that some folks like clean 'n' simple. This is W/C bridle leather, with a stamp from bunkhousetools.com and some 3oz suede lining. Guy wants another one now that he's seen it .... -
Shoulder holster questions
JLSleather replied to chiefjason's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I'd like to see the pics! Got a fella, I'm makin' him a belt holster. Messaged yesterday, says he wants shoulder rig for teh same gun as well. Didn't want to hear I don't do those SO, who does these? I told him I'd put some 'feelers' out, maybe I make the holster somebody else make the harness? He wants SOFT leather (whatever that means) and I dont have the equipment to sew that stuff (or the space to put any). Says he's 6', 190 lbs, wears a 42 jacket -- in case that means anything to sewing people -
Dressing up the ugly duckling
JLSleather replied to Treed's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Yeah, I hope I didnt sound like there was anything "wrong" about it... if the belt goes the other way that's a simple fix! If I changed anything at all, I might put a crease down the sides of teh belt keeper loop - make it match that nice looking belt -
Sent em a graphic file, we'll see what they say. Other fella in Korea was it? Nice work, but considerable wait time. Bookmark him for future work We gittin' so many now that when I have more time I should maybe go in sort those by location ! https://www.metallicelephant.co.uk http://hexnhitstamps.com https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ http://www.leprevo.co.uk/embossing.htm https://www.steelstampsinc.com/custom-leather-stamps https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeatherStampsTools https://am-leathercraft.com/pages/custom-made-stamps https://www.etsy.com/shop/CustomMadeStuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Made-Design-Your-Logo-Leather-Seal-Wood-Stamp-Branding-Iron-Carving-Mold/382286790022?hash=item5902117d86:m:mxK2t0VgU1u9BQEIZjJLxxw http://www.steelstamps.com http://www.greyghostgraphics.com https://www.facebook.com/StampsForLeatherStore/

KnifeKits boys say that the "colt 1911 compact" on their site is about a 4" barrel, closer to the commander than the defender. FYI
