We buy are clips from here http://www.albest.com/product.asp?Func=DispProd&SelCat=Holster+Clips

All good info above,we use latigo on all of our motorcycle products that we manufacture and it will hold up very well for you.Belt latigo may just be a finish,or maybe it runs very even in the thickness.We buy 40 -50 hides of latigo every few months and a lot of these fancy terms are just marketing BS..

Knowing your location my make things a little easier..

We run two 441 clones and put a lot of time on both.One is an Artisan and the other is a Sewpro..We try to oil them every 8 hours of use.The only other tips I would suggest is that you keep the shuttle area cleaned and lubed..I would suggest that air in a can stuff for just blowing out the dust that you get from the thread and material.If the machine ever feels like it is binding,or sounds like an old Panhead with no oil..Check this shuttle area for junk such as pieces of thread in this area..

My Amish buddies have a jig like you are speaking of which goes in to a machine that looks like a foot press basically..It works very well and was probably around $400.00

This machine is $1895.00

My Amish buddies use a foot press that will cut the end and punch 5 ,or as many holes that you wish..It may be available through Beilers..

We use a glue pot like you mentioned when we are applying glue to a big area.Check Weaver or Beilers..If you would like something that is not near as messy get a plastic squeeze bottle with a point on top..Like what they use to keep on the table of a restaurant..Good Luck..

We have done business with this company and they were very reasonable and located in the USA.. http://www.owossographic.com/

I use it on the edge of my holsters and also use it to make my own Mustache wax..

I have over 60 molds and most of them are blue guns.Some run a bit smaller than the actual firearm..You did the right thing by telling him to wet the leather.Usually if I have the same trouble I will tell the customer to wet the strap make sure the firearm is unloaded and put a thin plastic shopping bag over the firearm and put it back in to the holster and close the thumb break.Let dry.

I would suggest that you have some elastic about 6 inches or so in the back..That way when you bend or reach they will not fall of of your shoulder..I have a pair that I use on some heavy leather pants that I ride my motorcycle with in the winter..Good Luck..Google images is your friend.

I just riveted the bags as that is the look that I was going for.They are made from 10-12 oz Latigo and are very heavy..

I dont usually make saddlebags but I needed something for my 49 Flathead, so I made some bags and a tank panel for it..

Do your self a favor and wait until you can find a nice hydraulic clicker press. It will be well worth it as it will turn all your scrap leather in to money..We bought a 3 phase converter and it is great..

Subscribed..always looking for a deal on clicker dies..

Spend the money and buy the Weaver punches..Lifetime warranty all the way around..Free sharpening I think as well..

Anyone ?

Can anyone tell me how this is done.Our do you have a pattern for the links ? To me these look like a double figure 8 that my be pulled through each other..Thank you for your help..

I also have an Artisan and sometimes the light will blink,so I unscrew the fuse and then screw it back in..If the machine wants to run on its own check the chain and peddle do you have a little bit of slack ?

We buy our t nuts,and stainless hardware through Fastenal..

We stamp and tool Latigo everyday..I have items on my motorcycles that we did 8-9 years ago that looked like they were tooled yesterday..

We buy 40 to 50 hides every 4 months you really need to shop.Leather prices increased 3 times for us in the last 12 months price of fuel etc..I spend a lot of time shopping deals,auctions,and on the phone and less time in the shop.

Have you spoke to Taurus directly about a dummy gun.? Some of these company's will send me out a non working firearm..

I just sold one for 400.00 It worked very well,and looked about average..
