  1. Please let me know when you finish the ones for the Dremel.
  2. I used sheepskin against the skin. South Carolina is as hot as Florida. The customer loved it and I have yet to hear any complaints.
  3. "Learning experiences" I like that! I have regular learning experiences after 20 years of holster making.
  4. I have a buddy who has a rattlesnake hide he wants me to make a belt and holster with. It has been skinned and is in his freezer. I told him if he could tan it or find someone who could I would be happy to do it. I explained I didn't want my first tanning job to be his skin he killed himself. Better to let someone more experienced handle that part.
  5. I have a large pegboard with the long straight hooks. Each hook will hold three or four guns. It works pretty well for me.
  6. If I don't countersink the posts, I cut a piece of kipskin about an 1/8" larger than the snap and glue it over the base of the post. I have never had one come loose yet.
  7. Totally up to you and what you feel the best about. I like the font fine but I would use leather instead of goods as well. My brand is the bird looking object in my picture. The top part is a "D" (my first initial) and all of it together is a "B" for Burdette Custom Holsters. Although I have holsters in the business name, I make everything from holsters, to satchels, to tack, to whatever the customer orders. I have gotten comments on the "brand" though. Folks seem to like it.
  8. Custom work like that is what keeps us going! It is always fun to take the ideas people come up with and turn them into workable holsters. Very nice work.
