    Mallet Dies-----

    Murray replied to raysouth's topic in Old/Sold

    Ray, what are the dimesions of the rectangle dies (I count 3 of them)? Murray

    I also used it for the lettering on the other side of the wallet. It was the only thing I could find that was small enough and slim enough to make the impressions I wanted. Thanks again, Bear.

    Thanks bear. How I did the chain - I took a jewelers screwdriver, filed the tip down a bit (to fit the curves) then just kinda pressed in the impressions. It took a while and my hand was pretty sore afterwards, but I think it turned out awesome. Thanks again.

    Thanks David. Les, Thanks, shipmate. I have been retired for about 5 years and I got to feeling really nostalgic when my friend asked me to do this. Hooya.

    Love the two tone look on the belts, and that pouch is classy.

    Us Sailors love that anchor. On a small scale that chain gave me alll sorts of trouble though. Still pleased with the end product.

    Hello all, A friend of mine, who's still in the Navy, asked if I could make a full function wallet small. After some trial and error, I finally came up with a design that I liked. He also asked to have a "USN" anchor and his rate/rank on it. I jumped on this one as I am a retired Sailor and have not yet done anything Navy related. This is what came off the work bench - enjoy.

    A wallet for a Navy buddy.

    I hate big wallets, so I tried to make one that was a full function wallet - and make it as small as possible. I came up with a desing that I liked, a friend saw the end result and asked if I could make one with a Navy anchor and his rate/rank. This is what came off the bench.

    Mine does the same thing to me (not just for barns either). Most of the barns out here either have livestock in them or they are falling down. Oh well.

    I guess I need to start lookin' for some barns to rummage through. Sweet find, and a GREAT friend.

    Some toe protectors that I made for my trap league teammates. All of them shoot O/U's so I had to elongate the tab.

    First attemp at a shot shell holder, making a "box", figure carving, and coloring/painting.

    I knew I was missing something, just didn't know what. Tbhogstrom, thats a nice design.

    Thanks Renegade, I'm a bit dense at times. Thanks for breaking it down for me. I've still got a long way to go in this craft. Murray

    Happy Easter, everyone

    Awesome idea and superb execution. Bravo!!!

    Again, thanks for all the input, I have spent a bit of time thinking on this topic. As far as the one size fits most, that is a jump off point for a pattern so that I can mold to other similarly sized weapons. I have no intentions of producing a sleeve and tellin' folks to drop their gun in it. In regards to the rigidity of the opening, I stitched two layers of 7/8 oz together at the opening to include covering the trigger guard. Attached is a photo with the weapon installed.

    Thanks for all the input. I will post pics of the holster with the gun in it later (I'm out of town). Please know that safety is always a major consideration for me. I looked at the design and made sure that no accidental discharges were possible. The mouth stays open all on its own without a steel strap. Also, the stitching was done tight enough that even without molding the holster retains the weapon tightly. I understand the concerns and thank you for your input.

    Looks good to me. So the string is a little bit heavy? The way I see it, if you can shoot an arrow with it, you can secure your leatherman with it. I like the style and shape. What color is that? Nice work.
  24. Murray
    I was trying to make the smallest holster I could without compromising safety and retention. This is what I came up with. Works well as IWB, but OWB not so great (maybe a "range only" set up). It was based on my Sigma .40, but would most likely fit other 4 in. semi's pretty well. Your thoughts and comments are encouraged. Thanks.
