  1. JLSleather Thank you for your comments , it sounds heavy but it seams not to be, this holster is three years old the man wears it every day the 2 layer bonded and compressed hold like iron.

  3. Roon is good but not really black ,this is a gun belt i did in roon it's a lot of time and work to get this stuff made and to work right ,but that's just my opinion .
  4. At my wife's daycare i do a tool class for the 4 year old's . One day i did a class on hammers one of the mothers said to me how many hammers dose a man need, then told me how mad she would be if her husband had more than one hammer.So i showed her the hammers i used for the class around 20 of them with explanations for all of them, she said i never knew that, while looking each one of them over again and again . this was just one story i like to tell if someone brings up hammers . Northmounts explanation is all you should need it's right on .
  5. once i was stitching a bass bag for my friend bag slipped on to the go peddle that was a close one never thought i would get hurt on a sewing machine .
  6. Really it was just 8, stitches to be truthful it didn't bother me. but that could be due to the fact i felt like an ass.

  19. O k lets say your belt 1. 3/4 wide get some nice poster paper , cut out a rectangle 1.3/4 x 6''.0'' using a square mark a center line 3''.0'' from one end then mark a line 1''.0'' in from each end then on the long edges mark a line in from each edge 3/8'' . now with a sharp knife cut the center line almost all the way though now fold the paper in half on that cut line so the lines you made are showing, make sure the edges line up now in the large rectangle starting at the 3/8'' line top center draw an arc that is almost flat but not down to the line that is 1''.0'' in from end and 3/8'' up from bottom now cut the line you have drawn and only down to the 3/8'' line now cut then cut the 3/8'' line from the bottom arc to the end of paper open it up and that's your temp now its up to you how you want to make your lines place the bottom of the temp on the edge of the belt draw your lines. when i divide my belt i a small mark on each side of the belt but the marks must be dead square across from one another mark one side of the belt then the other this temp would be for a belt for the 4.'' 0'' pattern now you can lay in the lines for your edge stitching in this case i go 1/4'' in that leaves an 1/8'' from the arc . dikman with this temp no need for that line down the center of the belt . Jass Bass hope this helps now go to work i want to see those belts
  20. Jazz Bass don't feel intimidated with the stitching when you do it you will find its not so hard. stopping 4 or 5 stitches back from the points and space them out ,that seems to work for me . Dikman is right though its not perfect .i will be sending a explanation of how i do my temp lets for this stitch very simple to make and use. i'm no expert that's for sure but it look's ok Again Thank you for the kind remarks and interest.
