Which Press To Buy?
mojoewrkn replied to RoosterShooter's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Wow, thank you for the info on how to build the press. I have been planning on doing this myself and your blog will be really useful. Thanks! -
I just hold my leather in my hands up off the table. I set my drill press to 1100 RPM's.

A Couple New Iwbs
mojoewrkn replied to particle's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Great work Eric! I like the red and black! I made one recently also that is red(Fiebing's Cherry Stain) and black and I really like how it turned out. -
I have one but I am in Katy, TX on the west side of Houston. You can use it for free if you want to make the drive.

LOL Yes I made the belt also. Yes it is fairly heavy fully loaded up. Everything on it is double thick leather also, so even empty you know its there. I wore it around for about an hour fully loaded and it wasn't too bad, I suppose you get used to it. I made it so he can take the sheath off of the bandoleer and attach it to his four wheeler.

Great work! Are you using edge coat or dye on your edges? I really like your stitching.

I am a design engineer for cellular telephone networks. I have been doing that for about 12 years. Before that I was an aircraft avionics technician for 8 years in the Air Force.

First Post
mojoewrkn replied to JeffChastain's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
There is a member called Particle and he has a great video about forming the holster. You can find it at adamsleatherworks.com His video helped me out quite a bit, hopefully he doesn't mind me sharing his link. As for me I have found that having the holster at the correct saturation is important. Too wet and I get too many marks, too dry and its hard to form. Practice is key, I get better with each holster I make. LOL Too funny! In the time it took me to type the above Particle replied to the post! -
Thanks TwinOaks, I didn't realize how old the thread was!

Do you ever worry they will come undone? I am having trouble picturing how a snap would be better than a screw? Can someone send me a link to one of these snaps so I can see what kind you are using?

Gun Belt - What Size Leather?
mojoewrkn replied to Matt Alsaker's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Do you sell that as a 1 1/2" belt or do you have to make a distinction? I just made an 1 1/2" belt and the buckle is kind of tight so I went back and looked at an old gun belt I had purchased from a well known maker and it is not quite 1 1/2" wide, it's about 1 3/8". I guess if I make more I will make them slightly smaller. -
Iwb With Clip Questions
mojoewrkn replied to IngleGunLeather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I was trying to use a chicago screw, I guess rivets would work better. I will give it a try, thanks! -
Iwb With Clip Questions
mojoewrkn replied to IngleGunLeather's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I have a question, does the fastener you used go through just the outer piece of leather? I assume that it does so that there is no metal in contact with the gun. If so what type of fastener did you use? I was trying to make a cell phone holder for myself but I dont have any fastener that will fit through the hole on the belt clip and that is short enough to use with 6 oz leather. -
Having Problems With Servo Motor Speed Control?
mojoewrkn replied to Cobra Tom's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Last week I needed the instructional DVD and instruction booklet for my machine and they sent it free of charge with no questions asked. Now this! These guys have the best customer service I have come across in a long time, plus they sell a great machine. I highly recommend them! -
Welcome from another Texan. Leatherworking is lots of fun!
-
Very nice work! I am now addicted as well! Time seems to fly by while I am in the garage working on some leather project. The only downside is all the money I've spent! Welcome to the forum.

Not to Hijack this thread but do you have to form a company(LLC, INC, etc) to register a name? Also can you get a tax ID without forming a company?
