Tried wet molding a holster out of harness recently must say not what i was looking for but then i dont have anywhere near the experience you gentleman have i did get a nice holster out of it just not what i was looking for. With my limited experience i'll stay with tooling leather for wet molding just works best for me .

ya i just like to play around with the blacksmith stuff, knifes guns shooting trap, leather work of all sorts.sewing cooking woodcarving . I've had people ask what do you like to do, i tell them everything . someday i would love to visit Texas, i think their might be more like minded people out your way . made a knife from an old truck spring when my son comes by i'll have him put it in my files for me then i can put a picture on this site . but until then would like to see some of your knifes.Leather knife sheathes could be great first projects! .Good luck with the leather work.
