Very nice for a first holster. Much better than my first pathetic attempt. That's either a 26 or a 27. The 19 has a three finger grip.

First Knife Sheath
snubbyfan replied to Bruno Rock's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Looks very nice. I've been thinking of trying olive oil. Do you use a top coat? -
First Post/show Off/question
snubbyfan replied to Tokarsky's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I'm with Rohn. I use Tan Kote as a top coat on most all my projects. Except first I'd apply a light coat of pure Neatsfoot oil and let it dry a coupla days. However, I cut my own straps and do my own dyeing. Certain dyes can dry the leather. I kinda like the finish it gives me. -
New Life For Friend's Knives
snubbyfan replied to Fonzarellis's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
That looks fantastic. Nice straight stitch lines. I like that two tone dye job. One thing about the basketweave. I like to overlap my stamps, it tightens up the pattern and I think it looks a little neater. -
I give it overnight, sometimes a couple of days. It'll look blotchy until it's completely dry.

Mare's Leg Holster
snubbyfan replied to aoetken's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Looks great. I agree, it's just beggin' for a big shiny concho. -

First Pair Of Work Boots
snubbyfan replied to Tim Schroeder's topic in Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccassins
Wow, that looks great! And I thought I was doin' good, makin' my own moccasins. I also have workbench envy. -
Machete Sheath
snubbyfan replied to thefanninator's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Very nice. Nope, have yet to have anyone ask for a 45 degree sheath. -
I've always made stuff. Sculpting, mask making, airbrushing, woodcraft, jewelry making, leathercrafting, stuff like that. I've also been a rollerblader, mountain biker, backpacker, rock climber and stuff like that. In the last coupla years, I've developed a peripheral motor nerve condition which has really reduced my physical abilities. I'm not able to do a lot of the stuff that I could do before. However with a little experimenting, I've found ways to still do leathercrafting and my doctor says it's good therapy for my hands. It just seems like I gotta be doing or making something.

I thought I felt a disturbance in the farce, er force. I've started a YouTube Channel (they'll let anybody in) on leatherworking, holster and belt making. I've made snubby holsters for snubby J and L frame Smith and Wesson revolvers. Some hand stitching and a video on sharp pointy stuff. I intend to have weekly updates but ya never know what life has in store. It's called "Chooglin' with Snubby" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA/videos

S&w Model 19-4 Dummy Gun
snubbyfan replied to Bigpaws's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I guess I should have said shrouded ejector rod rather than under lug. The 19-4 doesn't have a full barrel under lug but it does have a shrouded ejector rod like this 4" m66. The K frame Blue Gun does not have a shrouded ejector rod. Like a m10 or m64. -
S&w Model 19-4 Dummy Gun
snubbyfan replied to Bigpaws's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
The 19-4's a K frame. A K frame blue gun'd work, just make sure to leave a little extra room for the 19's heavier under lug. Since a full flap holster generally has molded in retention that shouldn't be a problem. You'll have to fudge the 2 extra inches. http://www.bluegunstore.com/SandWKFRAME4.aspx -
I've got a degenerative peripheral motor nerve condition that causes weakness mainly in my right hand and wrist but also affects my left hand. I've found a technique that works for me when hand stitching holsters, belts and other stuff. I've got a video on leather stitching on my YouTube Channel showing how I go about it.

S&w L Frame Holster
snubbyfan replied to stu925's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
It's called a thumb break and the orientation is correct. All around, it's a pretty good design. Pulls the grip in good and tight, aiding in concealment. Nice straight stitch line with consistent edge spacing. Pretty good edge work too. I prefer to cover more of the trigger guard but that's a personal design preference, some holster designs don't cover the trigger at all. -

Making Straight Holes In Something Round And Curved
snubbyfan replied to MorningStarL's topic in How Do I Do That?
Thanks, hope ya get something out of the video besides 33 minutes and 42 seconds older. If you're interested, I've got a 3 video series on making a fold over holster. Check my YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA/videos- 17 replies
