Spectaculous!!

Dwight. Thanks for the comments and compliment! I have used the Fiebings Pro Oil Light Brown and love it. Bought one of those big (liter?) plastic bottles of it actually from Tandy. I keep forgeting when i order the stuff to look for the "oil dye" in the listing. Made the mistake the other day of trying to order one of the little tin cans of contact rubber cement from Tandy and ended up with nearly a quart of the white elmers glue like leather bond stuff. BTW, does anyone actually use that stuff? Seems the contact cement would be better, but maybe I am the one missing out by not using it..........Rory

Nice job! Those are sharp looking...........Rory

Looks good. El Dorado? I made two of that style from the Will Ghormley Pattern. Made them slightly too tight both times though. I like that look.........Rory

I like that style of case. Nice work!

Nice clean work! I like the closure design on the 4th and 6th holsters..........Rory

They look great! Where does one get Cape Buffalo and how does it hold up compared to other leathers?.............Rory

Ran/DickF. Those are some fine looking holsters you guys have made! Thanks for the tips!!..............Rory

That is one fine looking rig you have there. Great Job!!.......Rory

Hello All. I was wondering if the Tandy "premium" shoulders, that have that cream colored smooth finish product applied to the inside, can be dyed like normal (inside part). Any advice is appreciated........Rory

Hello All. Just wanting to know where I need to start to begin making whips. Do I need books or DVDs or both or does one work better than others? Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks................Rory

Oh ok I am with you. I did think he meant the configuration of the pouch itself, sorry. Yes, I just grabbed a mag a threw it in just for the picture and did not give any thought to how it was in there. Thanks for the comment/tips/compliment..............Rory

You know I thought the same thing when I saw similar mag holsters like this online, so I thought I would make one to try out. The ones online that look like this are same configuration and at pretty much the same angle and seem to imply they are for "right hand draw". Now, does this mean right hand draw for laft shooter or weak side for right hand gun draw? If you are right handed and shoot with the right hand, you normally reload with the left. I think facing the opposite direction would be better though. There does not seem to be as much lefty shooter stuff on custom leather websites, which lead me to believe this configuration was for right handed shooter. I dont know. I dont usually carry a mag holster anyway, just wanted to try to make one. :)Thanks for looking....................Rory

Thanks for the tips guys. And thanks for looking.........Rory

Nice Rig! I like the stamp, but cannot get it to work that good. Same with the standard basket weave stamp. Like the different snake designs.......Rory

Hello All. I put my flex ruler to good use again for this quick holster to hold my spare Colt Delta Elite 10mm magazine. It should work for 1911 magazines also. I will have to try a few in it. I had to use the 1.5" oblong slot punch in two positions to get a wide enough angled slot. I was a little disappointed with the results of the fiebings USMC Black dye as even after multiple soaking coats using the supplied wool dauber and even dampening the leather to better take the dye, there were several faint streak areas of un-dyed leather after buffing and still lots of rub off onto clothes. Anyone else have this issue with this dye/color?...............Rory

Thats quite nice looking. Your brother should be proud to own it!

Nery Nice! The Bass Cleff in the name idea is cool. I have a Fender B-Bender made from Fender's Corona Custom Shop. Keep up the good work! ................Rory

Whoa! Nice.

After just working with the ostrich leg skin a few days ago for a Sodbuster sheath (posted photos), I would say that is a fine job you did! I really like it. I found I really like the ostrich, but the larger scales can be difficult to cut at times and the edging is a little tricky. I did not edge bevel my edges or the belt loops, but did sand a little and applied brown edge coat to the outer edges................Rory

Awesome work!!

Nice job! I too would be interested in an email of the tutorial. Thanks for sharing!..........Rory

Sheathman- Thank you and good eye on the sodbuster (large not the Jr.) . Jaymack-Thank you for the comment. I am starting to like the look of ostrich more and more. BTW, I have to give credit for the style where credit is due so I went back online last night and found the image I saw of the similar sheath and it was from D.M. Bullard Leather. I went to the website and they have some really cool exotic items (holsters/sheaths/wallets/etc.)

Hello All. Saw something similar to this online, so I wanted to give it a try. Might do a brown edge coat on this one unless someone with experience with ostrich recommends something different. Criticism certainly welcome. Thanks for looking........Rory
