    Thanks. My first attempt didn't turn out as well either.

    Very classy looking rig!

    I'm in Lafayette. It is about 3 hours from Pigeon Forge, and about 60 miles northeast of Nashville.

    Here's my best attempt at ain IWb to date. I'm happy with it excwpt for the fact it's so big. It seems to me that Chicago screws are the way to go.

    I love those! The first one would have to be my favorite. Here;s my feeble attempt at a single six holster:

    I like it.

    Very nice!

    I went with splicing from the get go. I knew I'd spend more time untying knots than sewing otherwise.

    Very nice.

    It is a model 29 Smith and Wesson 44 Magnum. Yes, it is double action.

    "...is it dual action? " Sorry.....a "double layer" belt.
  12. gregintenn
    Man! It takes a while to sew a dual layer belt!!!
  13. gregintenn
    They sell a clip with a deeper belt slot.

    I just finished my first double layer belt made from 7/8 oz leather. There is no single leather I've seen, except for maybe rawhide, that is as stiff as this belt. I have to believe, that while there's more labor involved in the dual layer belt, the final product is woth it. While hand stitching the belt, I couldn't help but think that I'm waaaaaaaaaay too big around!

    Thanks. It looks like quite a challenge to me, but sometimes I like a challenge.

    Can these be made by hand without the benefit of mechanical presses and sewing machines. If anyone here does this, and I'm sure some do, I'd love to know how the soles are attached, as well as other helpful information on how they are made. I'll bet others would be interested as well.

    I can't attest to it's utility, but that's a fine looking holster.

    I've had good luck with Acrylic Resolene. Rub it in with a damp sponge. When dry, buff. Apply neutral shoe polish. Buff again. It looks great and seems fairly durable.

    That's a very attractive holster, Ray.

    Round off the angles on your next one, and you'll be good to go. I think that's an awesome job; espscially for a first attempt!

    I just bought one from her. She made exactly what I wanted very qucikly for $40+$5 shipping. I couldn't be happier.
  22. gregintenn
    I pour Resolene on a damp sponge and rub it into the leather. When it dries. I buff it with a shoe brush, and then apply neutral shoe polish, let it dry, and buff it out with the shoe brush. I've been very pleased; especially with black. The trick I've found is to buff the black dye BEFORE applying the finish as well as after.

    I know that bonded wood, i.e., engineered floor joists and LVL beams are stronger than a single piece of lumber of the same dimension. I believe part of the strength comes from the glue, and part of it comes from the wood fibers running in different directions. I would assume that leather would be similar, as they are both natural fiber filled products. Just a guess.

    I'm very interested in your findings as well. Keep us posted.

    Make it left handed and put it on Craigslist.
