    I bought the set from Springfield Leather, mainly because of the center pin within the punch. It gets you dead center each time. A little pricy at $79 wholesale but decent for what you get. the set is # 88-0156 http://springfieldleather.com/24676/Punch-Set%2CSelf-Centering/

    Another way is to butt the edges and sew with a curved needle.

    Matt; I would disagree that you can't make curved cuts, I make them all the time, small or large radius. Kevin.

    The Osborne punch works good for that. You'll have to sharpen them though.
  5. Tree Reaper
    That's a good idea, if you did that it would probably look something like this ...

    If you want something heavier look at mini drill chucks. http://www.pjtool.com/keylesschuckwscrewgunadaptor.aspx

    This is what I use http://springfieldleather.com/24733/Knife%2CUtility%2CAngled/ The secret is keeping it sharp and I do that with a cloth wheel and green compound. A single blade will last a long time.

    Springfield has metallic and neon.

    Look for "Pin Chuck". https://www.google.c...bih=491&dpr=0.9

    Quality leather will burnish better. Use high end products for high end results.

    You might not even have to drill it if you go with a 3/16 copper bolt. It looks like they're using a copper contact type rivet for the anvil. A electrical supply that deals in bus bars and other specialties might even stock that rivet.

    You can make one with a copper bolt if you can't locate one. http://www.copper-parts-components.com/product/Copper-Bolts-hex-Bolts-Hexagonal-head-Screws-fasteners.html You can drill and use a nut or drill and tap. You can even cement a couple of pennies together or use a piece of nylon if you need it right away.

    To get the compound on the wheel, start the dremel and then switch it off as you hold the wheel against the compound. As the wheel slows it will pick up the compound.

    Dremel, felt wheel and green compound.

    Trace it off a stencil onto the cased leather, carve it and bevel.

    George, if you do a Google search for "images of shoulder holsters" you might see something you're looking for. Kevin.
  17. Tree Reaper
    That wouldn't be a good idea.

    She's using lace.

    A small drill press and a forstner bit would make that easy work , depending on how secure the fabric is. If the fabric is loose it won't work but if it's glued in place it will. Putting holes in leather is a piece of cake.

    It looks really good, what do you think about dropping the strap down below the trigger guard?
  21. Tree Reaper
    That's a gift from the heart, he'll not only love it but cherish it too. Good job.

    I'll use denatured alcohol to clean leather, for contact cement you can get a glue eraser from Springfield Leather and then go over it with alcohol before applying neatsfoot oil, letting it sit overnight and then apply the dye. If the cement is on the edge it can be sanded off.

    Have a look at these ... https://www.google.ca/search?q=images+of+axe+sheaths&client=firefox-a&hs=xHa&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=mciWUrSRKtTboASPs4D4Bw&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=893&bih=491&dpr=0.9

    Another option is the can koozie, I use these and they work well. http://www.amazon.com/Can-Insulator-Koozies-10-Pack/dp/B00CWFHJZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385472131&sr=8-1&keywords=can+koozie
