Chest rig for a Glock 19
Samalan replied to Hags's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
that looks really nice ! would like to see some pics of the rest of the rig like hook up points that sort of thing looks like the black nylon strap go's around the back to the plastic buckle and a leather strap go's down to the belt to keep it from moving when you pull the gun out it looks really great thanks for showing -

Leather Dies - Milwaukee vs Texas - Overthinking?
Samalan replied to Gulrok's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I have used Texas custom dies and besides being right on accurate, the best price, fast shipping , and really great people to deal with, the dies are sharp strong and accurate , you cant go wrong with Texas Custom dies. -
John Bianchi gun leather comes to mind he sews them not sure how many he's made but I'll bet it's in the thousands ? I sew them to haven't had any bullets fall out of mine yet all that hole punching and weaving seams a bit bulky but people do have different opinions.

Nice job ! you got me back thinking seeing that nice work, I've got to make 3 rolls like that. thanks for showing. -
Magnets work yes but I think you will find just how much junk will stick to it I have done a lot with magnets and now every time i think of using a magnet I think again and find a different way that's my experience with them . also IMHO

small amounts of oil warmed mixed with a small amount of warm water you don't want to flood it give it time . on the holsters i use 6-7 oz veg with 3-4 oz veg for liner the 3-4 makes great bullet loops also this combo makes a very nice holster very strong! That's a colt Anaconda with the leather combo 6-7and3-4 veg with roon finish the roon made it a lot more work but the color was worth it for sure.

Tooling leather and holster leather are one in the same on the belt depending what it's for 7 to 8oz would be good for every day wear want a gun belt or holster add a 3 to 4oz liner and wet mold to soften a bit depending on what's already on it you can use some Neetsfoot not to much work it in by hand bending the belt a touch don't kill it one thing get the oil warm then just a touch of warm water on the leather first then the oil work it in wipe it off let it dry. all this is IMHO hope it helps.

Thanks Aven I've always wanted to see Texas someday. Would love to see some of that arrow fletching something about home made arrows that's very cool . Once I went to the MFA Boston they had a very large display of Japanese Samurai sword's bow's arrows the arrows were amazing.

One time i was at my brothers apartment there was a guy from a woodworking company trying to figure how to find the miter for a molding under the stairs after an hour and a half or so I had to get going as I was leaving I said to the woodworker would you like me to show you how to do that he said yah it took about 15 sec he said you sat and watched me for an all that time and said nothing ! I told him it's always best to figure these things out your self then you no what works and why.

Lone Ranger Gun Rig
Samalan replied to Forester's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks Forester one thing i like to do is lay the bullet loops on a separate billet then for the diagonal stitching i use a v tool to make a stitching groove from point to point the billet protects the belt itself and the stitching groove keeps the edge of the brass from ever touching the thread then you can stitch the billet on or use Conchos or decorative screws.
