  1. First let me say thank you for the replies. I would like to make a holster Like this (i could not use the image so i put a link on the page hope it works). it looks like only the front is formed so I thought if I put the back piece of leather down on the bench then the front piece over my my gun with the accessories on it then i scrolled a wooden silhouette and clamped it on top it would stretch and for the gun into the leather. i am sorry about the confusion i don't seem to be able to explain myself very clearly.
  2. Ok so the story begins I purchased a semi auto pistol and ordered a IWB holster from a pretty well known holster maker in Texas 20 weeks later i received a very nice product. but now I have a small rail mounted laser and want a holster that moves the belt loop off the gun so i have seen a couple with two belt loops that look like they would be very comfortable not sure what they are called. Being pretty handy i read this forum and started thinking I can do this. so i got some remnants and started stitching got some books holster making and sewing from Al Stolman. After reading here and practicing sewing made some pencil cases and stitched a belt I am starting to play with cardboard for a template. so i was thinking for the stitch line you add the width of the gun and the leather thickness then divide it in half because the front and back will contour what if I Scroll saw the negative silhouette out and mold just the front of the holster clamping the gun down to a work bench then glue and stitch. would the stitch line be the whole thickness of gun and leather x2. has anyone tried something like this what type of glue do you use with hand stitching though it using a diamond awl and two needle. would you cut the back after molding the front to get a the pieces to match up properly with a rail mounted is there any tip for molding you can share I know this topic is all over the place but i am just thinking out loud thanks for any replies
