Thanks Dwight. I found the tri weave stamp very forgiving and more easy to camouflage the mistakes !

Thanks, Made this for I guy I run into on the way to work. When I delivered the holster I didnt think to take a pic

Finished this holster for a off brand 357 snubby. I used the Al Stolhman pattern for the colt detective and fit like a glove ! Double shoulder vegi tan from Tandy, Thought it had a nice look. Thanks for looking and comments always welcome.

good stuff

Great post. Knowledge and wisdom, now THATS the hoky-poky

Nice job on that one Yin ! Browning logo, stitching,color, sam brown button all just right. Really nice. You did however break the rule by not showing the blade....just sayin

For what its worth, i use latigo for most of my projects. Latigo is used for horse harness and sees all weather elements. I stamp alot of latigo with lasting results. It is however difficult to tool alot of detail because you lose contrasting color. I use drum dyed latigo, its colored from the factory and colored all the way through so you can skip the dying process and the color will not bleed when wet but is mostly available in black or burgandy. The back of leather is suede...i would think you could get by without a liner for you bib. Dave

Thanks viking.

Dont sound very appealing .........So how DO you generate some sales without setting up at the shows

Great looking sheath, really sets off the whole rig. Does it have a welt and how did you do the rivets without breaking the stitch ? Really nice look !

Thanks Jeff. I didnt think about skiving the edges, great idea though. These blades were about 1/8 thick and the gaurds probably 1/2 wide. Had to do the welt so thick to get the handle to lay parallel to the belt loop. Thanks for you comments...

Got to make a couple sheaths for a local blacksmith who started making knives. Made from 10 oz latigo, welt is 3 layers 8 oz vegi. Saddle stitch assembly. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome.

Looks to me that you are pushing the post into the dome. The length of the post should be about 1/8 inch over thickness of leather. Your going to need a stop on your press to keep from bottoming out, thats what is pressing your post into the dome. Could be as simple as masking tape around the ram.

Thats sharp ! Good job.

Looks fantastic. Good job.
