This is airbrushed H.O. yeah, noticed that as well. Could be the thickness of leather and the shoulder of the punch. I punch through both layers. Hindsight, I should've Puch the outer layer before glueing them together.
Thank you
Been a while since I completed a belt. Don't advertise them like I used to. But I took this order on for a repeat customer.
This belt is 2 layers of 7/8 ounce Hermann Oak.
Make your liner 1/4 inch wider on each side. Trace your outer layer on to the flesh side of the liner. Apply glue to both flesh sides. Lay outer layer in the traced area. Stitch after glue has cured. Cut away excess material. Sand, bevel, burnish, finish.
Thank you
Thank you. Went all the way through with this one. I've got some hardware ordered that I hope will allow me to sammich them next time. On this one I went with what I had on hand.
Thank you. Molded on the backside. It's a very snug fit.
Lol, that's a rattle canned blue gun. Hopefully the customer will send a picture with his pistol in it.
Thanks man. Lol, yeah, that dude asked me that after I quoted him on my IWB holster and told him my wait time. I told him to just shop for a Versa Max. Guess he didn't know what to call it.
Finished this up today. This is my rendition of the popular Milt Sparks' Versa Max. Features a steer hide backed/genuine shark reinforcement panel and horse hide belt straps with directional snaps. Made for a customer's 4 inch 1911.
The bottoms aren't fully closed. The leather, both front and back pieces, are approximately 1/4 inch longer than the muzzle and are slightly folded over.
All leather is ordered as 7/8, most recently directly from Wickett and Craig. Other than me wet molding it, nothing to clean it. Once dried, finish coat is applied.Well, I do buff before applying finish.
