Nice design and great color combos does the pig skin ware well in a holster?

Very nice work love the rich color and I also would like to know how you stamped the images. Doug

nice job love the color and the spots is it lined?

As long as she don't have a calf they get a bit nasty with there calf around, it could be a new rodeo event moose leading. LOL

Ain't that the way it goes.LOL

That looks like a great idea for gifts would you mind if I used it? Thanks Doug

Great Job I would like a copy of the tutorial also Thanks Doug

Love the design and color what did you use to finish it with, Can we see the inside any pockets, Doug

Looks good is it from a pattern or your own design. Doug

I think they looks great, I also like your avatar

I’m sure the same type of discussions arose around many a campfire when new materials and methods were introduced. I suppose all crafts have their Lilliputians. Doug

Great job on blending the KYdex and the leather together, it looks like a very comfortable and functional design. Did you use a hydraulic press to mold your Kydex or just a hand press? I’m on a couple of knife maker forums and I remember seeing some of the same comments regarding Kydex and knife sheaths. Some makers like the idea of the Kydex because it is very stiff and easy to mold. I have read about some makers lining there Kydes with thin leather to help protect the knife. But that would depend on what you were using it for and where you were. In sandy conditions I have seen the finish come off a gun barrel just from the sand getting into the leather and acting like sand paper. Doug

Great job love the detail.

Great I will give that a try thanks Doug

Dirtclod great idea do you have a problem with the mix drying out fast with the denatured alcohol?

Have you tried using a resist first, then apply the paint that away if you do get outside the area you can wipe it off with a Q-tip, I use small foam cleaning pads they are about the size of a Q-tip but don’t have the fuzz, they are flat on the bottom. When you load your brush with paint wash start in the center of your work and let the paint flow towards the edges then work the paint into the edges with the brush. I keep a second brush handy that is damp if I get to much paint in an area I use it to soak it up, just rince it out and dab it on a paper towel. Hope this helps Doug

I wonder if you made one that held more then 7 rounds if it would be illegal in New-York LoL

Very nice great color did you line it with anything or just leave is plain?

I came across some 1/2 inch white plastic like is used by most food processing places not sure what is used on a clicker, If you use a harder cutting board would it dull the dye. I also added some high density foam the blue stuff you buy a home depot in the garden section. I have some denser stuff that I use on my kydex press I might give that a try. An interstate plastic has good prices on most plastic. If you have a restaurant supply store you can try there I picked up a used 2x3 cutting board for 10 bucks.

That turend out nice Doug

Those are sweet love the color.

Looks like it should work great! Can you put a presser gauge on it so you know how much force you are using, don't want to bend your dies. Any way to attach the die to the top plate so it comes up when you release the presser on mine I I'm always fighting with the dye it gets stuck in the bottom plastic plate. Doug

Great job KT your old work looks kinda like some of my new work LOL

Tandy has a pattern pack you can buy it also might be on leathercraftlibrary.com for down load there is also a video or two on tack if you subscribe to there video pack I think it's $9 bucks for 30 days.

That’s beautiful what a great way to recycle old bags what kind of a lining do you use, I live in Eugene Oregon the hippy capital of the world I’m sure I can find many back like that in the second hand stores. How do you handle the carving or embossing that is on the old bag? Doug
