[Finished Cheyenne Holsters from walnut dye test 001.JPG]

Another good job tEN wOLVES. Damn, you are quite the holster maker. You must do this for a living, if not you should.

Thanks, tEN wOLVES.

I used a sanding wheel on my drill press for my first holster I made a few days ago.

It helps to have a knowledgeable person to ask. I have a lot of ideas for holsters. Now I have to get busy and make them.

Thanks again.

tEN wOLVES, Do you have any tips for a beginner, or other pictures of holsters you made. I am trying to get some ideas.

How far from the outline of gun do I make the stitches on the pattern? I have read anywhere from 3/16" to 3/4". The holsters I am starting with are going to be ones that I form to the gun so it will be snug inside. I backpack and don't want to lose the gun, so a tight fit is necessary to prevent loss. I will make other holsters, so will the stitches vary on proximity to the gun for different types of holsters?

I am more excited about making the designs on the holsters than making the holsters themselves, but excited about the whole process.

Thanks for your help.

Great job on the holster. I have just bought my first $300.00 worth of leather tools just to make some great holsters. I only hope they turn out half as good as yours. Good job.
