If someone SAW your work, and wants one "just like it", then I wouldnt' worry about "the way the machine" does it - it's apparently not objectionable. Nothing dishonest or deceitful if they SEE and KNOW what they're getting. You might just tell them that IF they want that done by hand, that would be extra dollar amount. I make a point of NEVER pricing someone else's work for them, but I'm with Big Souix.. if I'm going to break even, I'm gonna figure I should have just gone fishin' ...

Meh. That would make anything LESSER quality, at or above that price, OVERPRICED. Without debating whether my - or anyone else's - price is "fair", that does seem to substantiate what I said ... the price does not determine the quality. "Show Off" is for pics. Got it.

It'll be okay.

This appear on Cutesy this morning... so much for that "get what you pay for" crap "This Holster fits my Sig P320 X-Carry perfectly. I had a problem finding the Proper holster fit and after talking to Jeff I found it was exactly what I needed. the quality is equal to holsters costing much more. Great buy!" .. Richard

Yeah, first thing I'd check is if teh return spring gittin soft .. not bumpin the bumper, as they say. Or at least verify that the chain isn't hangin up on sumthin'.

If you gonna STRESS and STRETCH leather when it's wet, it's going to lose some tooling definition -- that is the IDEA behind tooling leather- get it wet and you can change its shape. That said, you CAN form objects - including holsters - after they are tooled. Keep in mind that the WETTER it is and the SHARPER THE TURNS / GREATER THE STRETCH the more the tooling is likely to be altered. This one was tooled, allowed to dry MOSTLY, then glued to liner and rough shaped at the same time. Once dry, it was sewn and edged, and after that it was wet AGAIN (wet, not soaked) and molded around the form. Note this is not formed to the extent that it's basically a replica of the gun, though the outside edges are pretty crisp.

Razor blade and a couple roller bearings ...

Yeah, I was jus' ribbin' the boy Leather looks pretty clean from here, and the back looks pretty well trimmed.

And the shoulder comes off if you want a 'bend" Question is, why that narrow kid bouncin' every one of em off the table? Tenderizer?

Piece of angle iron with a cam lock on teh end? That big table looks downright handy, though.

I prefer to buy it online. I'm not going to St. Louis, or Curwensville, or anywhere else just to pick up cowhide. Maybe if I was buying 1000 feet at a time, I might make the trip. But if you are knowledgeable about leather, and I describe what I want -- then either you can provide that service or you can't. I talked with Rusty at some length one day, seems like a decent fella. I don't buy all that "you get what you pay for" stuff [ blog post ], but I got nuthin' "bad" to say about Rusty.

Nope, couldn't say -- but there's lotsa folks round here sew way more 'n' me, somebody will know.

Just like me means DON'T grow up But you can get the pattern from that Alabama boy. Can't remember if it came with the panel or if that's one I added later

I have made wallet "innards" with #69 thread and #18 needle, and also with #42 thread and #16 needle. Both still functioning well, last i knew. This one was made of 1 1/2 oz kidskin, pockets of fabric (so the cards only go in as far as shown), and #69 thread. This was ONE side of a two sided "long wallet", done because the gal specifically requested this layout. Otherwise, there are many 'pre-fab' innards available. I wouldn't have bothered to make it if it was already available. The Chaylor-Finelli inserts available at SLC are actually quite nice.

'Preciatcha, folks. I do like to try to keep them looking 'trim'. Got a chunk of black 'n' white python I thought to work in there, but not really seeing where to add it on these (python doesn't form worth beans).
