  1. You did a beautiful job on that belt. I was just joking, there's so much stuff on that belt I was thinking you could possibly get a holster behind the hammer holder in the small of the back, just joking around. You did a great job on that. I would wear that belt in a heartbeat, my friend.
  2. I don't see a holster anywhere on that system?
  3. Nice job on that, Dwight, especially the basket weave and color.
  4. Great Job! That's a whole lot nicer than my first holster.
  5. Nice work and useful. But then you always do a great job on all your stuff.
  6. Nice job seeing it with no belt slots; it gives me an idea. Thanks for showing. Nice job seeing it with no belt slots; it gives me an idea. Thanks for showing.

    Very nicely done.

  10. WOW, there are some very talented people on this site, and you are definitely one of them. Beautiful work.
  11. Tim, your work is truly world-class excellent.
  12. You can buy the spring steel rod in SS. Let's say 1/8" x 3' works great, but I just did one in Kydex, and it works great. Use a heat gun, mold it with your hands.
  13. What's on the wheel now? Does that have to come off first? If you remove what's on the wheel, then you would have flanges on the two ends that the leather would need to be proud of, so it might not be 8 to 9 oz, but 10 to 11 oz. I would put that on with barge cement with a minimum of a 3/4 " scarf. Laid with the lap in the correct direction. Sorry had that wrong thought
  14. Once, I was teaching a classroom of kids about the many different kinds of hammers a woman came to pick up her boy early. I was just finishing up when she came over to me and said Are all of those hammers yours I said Yes, they are. She then said If you were my husband, I would kick you right in the ass I asked her why, and she said in a heavy Irish brogue Why would a man need more than one hammer? after I explained just the hammers on the table, she got the point. She said to me Wow, I never thought of that. LOL to Hondo Man's point, you don't use a 22oz waffle head framing hammer for finish work. or a tack hammer for framing. LOL
  15. In the woodworking world, they make a tool called a butt gauge, which you could come in from the side, probably 4 or 5 inches, and a small, custom-ground blade could be easily fitted in that cross beam, set to the depth, and cut away. That would be a simple tool to make.
  16. Wow, that is amazing.
  17. Beautiful job, you are a very talented man, that's for sure.
  18. Wow, that's very cool, nice job.
  19. Judging from your tape measure, you could use a standard 1.5" belt, or it looks like you could even make it 33mm if you like. The belt does not need to be as wide as the bullet is long. I would make top and bottom loops, and you would be fine as far as the bend goes. I would wet half of the width of the belt just where it goes over the shoulder, hang it on your shoulder wet for a bit, and there's your bend perfect. Have fun with it.
  20. Nice job and look.
  21. Is that a statement?
  22. WYO Quick Silk works best for me; don't get one drop or less on unfinished leather.
