Thank you all for the kind words and interest .

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

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.

Made this for a gunsmith in Florida ammo case holds 357- and 270 in a small package

Thank you all for the kind words and interest .

It's a big gun needed a big holster, the roon finish was a lot of work but worth it.

nice work i can see why you won the contest !!!!!!!!!!

He is a lot of fun to work for he always wants something different like the ammo pouch to hold rifle and revolver ammo 5-270 and 6-357 in a small package .

Looks nice will you make the case to

Nice job!

Thank you all for the very nice comments , the project did take some time to figure out, like the loading and unloading and all the gun functions. She needed to be able do them her self. it was a fun project she was a doll to work with. I have other medical things made of leather a leg lifter for a for a lady i met while i was in therapy. and a shoulder brace i did for myself the doc loved it. Thanks again for the comments.

This is my most satisfying leather project to date. The lady was told by her Dr. that it would be impossible to shoot handguns again; these pictures show a very happy customer and a very wrong Dr.

Very nice work!
