  1. Thanks everyone. Helps my ego tons. :brainbleach:
  2. Great Idea on that sheath, Lovin it.
  3. I have to agree with the red statement whole heartedly. Tension screws will make up for mistakes but when you don't need them, is when your product is really getting good. Early on I was told by someone to stop using rivits and tensions screws, I thought they added design quality...they don't. Use them if you need too, but avoid them when possible. I use the Real Gun, same method as mentioned, little oil (excess removed) and "press and seal" works awsome. mainly because I don't have many dummies. I try to error on the side of a little tight, little tight is better than a little loose. But I wouldn't worry, the Belt in this case sounds like it willsave you any potential problems.
  4. Hello, I'm very new here. I have been making holsters and other related items for about 5 years. I started for personal reasons, but soon found if i wanted to keep doing this i would need to make some of my money back for supplies. It's a hobby only kind of sale. I'm not interested in making a full business out of this. I just like to unwind and make stuff. I'm open to suggestion, i'm open to ideas, I like to experiment and try new ideas. All comments welcome. This is a wrap of a common plastic holster. I like the fit of the plastic holsters, but I like the look of leather. This was a fun experiment, I was surprised when this sold before I was finsished making the proto type. I still need to make another one. Another design experiment. One of my most recent sales, for a of duty police officers daily carry. Light tan dye, and sealed with several coats of Neets Foot oil.
