    Friend and leatherworker Rick Henry
  1. Just curious but shouldn't there be a hole on the other side too?
  2. Crystal very nice! Is it a belt slide on the backside?
  3. Nicely done! If you ever get an order for one and want to laser in the text on it, send it to me before you stitch it together and I could but in all the text for you. Just a thought. Steve Wallace at Lasting Laser Impressions
  4. Mountain Man you sent this quote and I am trying to understand what you meant by "How do you do it". Do what, if you don't mind me asking. I will gladly share all the information if you can be more specific. Thanks
  5. Keep up the good work and someday a customer will be on here stating that he is building gun leather but carries his in a JRC holster. Continued success.

  6. Nice work. I am not a big fan of crossdraw but understand that it's a personal thing. I do like the way you raked the holster so that it can be worn forward of the mid-line on either side.
  7. How the heck did you know that the stamping pattern around the edge would end just where you would have to end for that size table. Amazing!
  8. Mountain Man if you are talking about the laser itself, $7k - 30k depending on wattage and bed size. Add software, scanner and computer and accessories... and like any venture the total starts to run up. A replacement laser unit can cost up to $3k. It is just like tooling leather in that you can start with basic tools but then you find the difference in tool quality and knives, the next thing you know you have hundreds and not more wrapped up in your hobby/business. Let's just say it ain't cheap. That is why I use it on a variety of materials not just leather. Thanks for your comment.
  9. I don't have that big an ego. I meant, it makes my day or made my day.
  10. Thanks for the comment. I always like to try and make things different and then that makes it unique.
  11. Not really in fact I have to really push hard to get the needle through when I am stitching the pieces together. I use the saddle stitch method of sewing them together. I have yet to see any damage to the leather.
  12. I have cut up to 1/4 inch thick but I could possibly do thicker with a second or third pass.
  13. To all that have commented, thanks for the input. I makes my day.
  14. Whit30: Thanks for the compliment and comment. I do items for Law Enforcement like plaques and recognition items. I have even done badges and department logos on pistol grips (look at my webpage for examples). I can duplicate those on a holster without too much grief. The mark is much like branding the leather and it smells like money. If you notice I marked the backside of the holster with my logo. That could have easily been a badge and been on the front. If I have a clear picture to work from I can duplicate most any badge or logo. Let me know if you have anyone that might be interested in having this done. Thanks
