  1. My only mistress 1974 FLH with 5 speed kick only ..
  2. Fine work fine work cant wrap my mind around the design though can you show the back side please.
  3. Thanks I had to try vacuum pressing seems to work ok gotta work out some small issues with my press though
  4. Yessir! I did and boned through the bag under vacuum.
  5. Here's my latest for a Springfield with light. and here's the gun
  6. Both holster and belt look awesome. For the holster my preference would be black antique with either tan or light brown dye faded from a black edge JMHO. stealf ...
  7. Thanks and will trying boning the backside more and the front less on my next auto holster . Dont see anymore wheel guns in the next couple of weeks.
  8. TwinOaks thank-you for your reply and the lateral spread at the cylinder you speak of is actually what is holding the weapons and mininising the wear around the guard areas and keeping the trigger clear of any unwanted squeeze the intent was to bring out the silluet (sp) of the guard and trigger, also the boning down the barrels and ejector are there to aid in retention. I am aware there will be some wear in both of the aforesaid areas. I by no stretch of the imagination am professing or assuming to know anything other than these are my attempts to learn this craft /artform, also I am accepting all criticism open arms so that I can learn. So to you sir once again thank you for sharing in my education. Stealf ..
  9. For all of the criticism both to the positive and not so positive I would like to thank all of you! For those that feel the way I do and that is making functional art SAFE functional art thank you for the positive feedback the "intense boning is done with a purpose I feel that the weapons should be shown while in the holster kinda like looking at a pretty gal (ladies please forgive) you dont have to see her skint to appreciate her beauty plus a nicely dressed woman is easier on the eyes. And the kicker to all of this is that the owner has been elated. Design wise I still am looking and finding what works for me and I have gleaned a little from what I've seen and there's a little of every thing that I have been exposed to here. So anything that I take positive and negative is still POSITIVE because I learn and for this I am greatful. Gun belts are gonna be on the list!
  10. " Will be getting it soon thanks. Stealf
  11. Mike once again your criticism is welcome and not taken in any ill manner. I advised the owner of both wheel guns about the closed toe and he insisted so whats a guy to do!? Thank you for your input again I do appreciate it.
  12. Ok so here are the next three holsters sorry about the photo quality on them.
  13. Here's my latest also posted on critique section
  14. I have airbrushed on and off since 96 make sure you're protecting your lungs any atomized coloring agent is not good for you. IWATA is hands down some of the best. Badger next in line. If you can afford it get a gravity fed. The built in color cup will be easier to rinse out with denatured alcohol. Also TEFLON SEALS are a must look for that when you lay your money down. I have 5 IWATA s and one Badger. And a cheap knock off of an IWATA. My compressor is a homemade silent job refridge compressor on a pancake tank.
  15. SIMPLY OUT FREAKING STANDING!!!!! to all responses thank you for sharing all of these tools represent our person in one shape or form and add more of ourselves to our art no matter what skill level you may be at once again thanks for sharing.
  16. I am looking at a De Santis holster right now and the hardware looks strait out of LOWES rubber grommet and all I could be mistaken though.. this is a 65 dollar holster from what Ive researched
  17. No other takers!!!!? Come on there's alot of creativity here!!!way too much to hide and not share! Surely ppl are willing to help out the newbies like me the tools I have made are for my personal use and enjoyment and if anyone would like to know the particulars feel free to PM me.
  18. The headknife and a skiving knife (not posted) were both made out of stainless steel that I was given they are both scary sharp. Only after more research did i find out non magnetic stainless steel can not be heat treated but they are holding an edge great for cutting leather.
  19. Johanna the second pic is of my hand fabbed stitching pony its metal square tubing the device to tighten and loosen is a turnbuckle covered with a piece of wood. The handle on the headknife is cherry wood. Thanks for the compliments
  20. Talked to nice people at Zack White they took care of me great folks! ALSO IN THE TITLE OF MY POST THERE WAS NEVER ANY ANGER LOL! THANKS TO ALL THAT HELPED AND RESPONDED! !!

No No not gonna throw it out and it is the paste type sorry for my ignorance! kate thank you for the response! as far as what i will lose it was supposed to be a new jar so im kinda miffed about the quality assurance as far as the order but i guess shtuff happens right im sure if i contact ZW they will tell me to send it back though but its the weekend so it will have to wait till monday to contact them...
  22. Ok so I ordered some Fiebings Antiquing (gel) from Zack White and was sent a container of dried out CORDOVAN can I save this antique or should I just throw in the towel and send it back to them? if I can rejuvenate it how do I go about doing this can I add a little Tan kote to it and stir it up again or what
