KRAINS.........for what you are doing, save youre self a lot of $$$$. go to a glass company and have a pc of Plexiglass cut to the size you need for your template 1/4" thick will be o.k. IMHO.

Rayban, as long as the holes are straight and even, one will do what one has to do........ sometimes I will use a razor knife to cut leather..

PAUL ....... That is what i call a SHEATH ! ? PAUL what type of sewing machine do you use ? also the small pc of leather that is sewn on the top of the sheath, the type of machine used, thread and needle size? a courious mind wants to know..... Thank you.

TO ADD what savvy said, use #277 nylon thread or 6 cord linnin or flax thread this will give you the more pronunced angle you are looking for.

Hey Spyder..... you stayed busy on that for a while, did you not .... keep it up and lets see some more work.

STEVE tell us about your "signature birdcage snaps" Sharpe looking Journal....

Jordan, Buy the Al Stolhman Book there is more than holster how to in it. The Ghormley patters will teach you to make pre 1890 Western holsters. The Stolhman book has patterns for Relvolers and there is a 1911 auto pattern. With the information given you can adapt the patterns for modern handguns all said that book was copyrighted in 1962. and as you know a lot of changes in firearms has happened...

that is a fine looking holster...What type of sewing Machine do you use.?

I think it is #346 nylon thread...........or could be # 277...

There has to be one somewhere................ I am in need of a Patch Machine Stand ,that is in good and working condition.. It will be for a Adler Patch Machine #30-5 thanks....

Blake , i have not did this but it has been done, in the Pet Stores there are some Raw hide chew toys that when soaked in water will soften up enough to do what you need to do.
