I was just asked about possibly making one of these for a walker colt.... Thanks so much!

I second the freezer paper. It is even waterproof on one side so it makes transferring your image to cased or damp leather easy!

Thanks Tiara! I am checking the links out now.

Thank you, great tutotrial!

very well done!

Nice work. Profession and clean looking

What a great idea! My next rod will have one on it! Great job

This may be a little late, but I recently did the same project only on a corbin seat. I used a drill just slightly larger than the hole on the inside of the rivet, this way it did not enlarge the hole. Hope this helps...

Thank you Mike, I just called them and unfortunatly they don't have what I'm looking for in stock

I'm a complete newb with alligator skins.... I'm not looking for whole hides just the tail. What do you call them and is there anywhere I can just order the tails? I want to use it on a solo seat, thought it would be kool to edge the back of the seat with the (horns?).

Thank you for the reply Thrasher and advise! I thought that about the resist after dying but a lady at the Tandy store here in San Antonio told me do put it on first then remove it with deglazer or acetone then dye it.. Oh well, live and learn. Guarantee I'll ask a question on here first before I make that mistake again.

I finished dying my first solo seat last evening. I applied eco flow block-out to the skulls then antiqued the rest with med brown and let it set over night and plan to get back on it after work today... As I understand it, I should be able to take the stain and block-out off with acetone; will it? But the stain on the skulls is kind of growing on me. If I decide to leave it on can I finish it the way it is with resolene? I'm 50/50 eith way, my original plan was to stain the skulls desert tan or something close after I took the resist off, should I or just leave it the way it is. This is going to be a display for a rally this weekend. What would you do?

Smooth, very professional looking holster. Great job!

Very nice! I know what you mean about the sewing machine... I'm hand sewing a 4" drop rig right now and I can barely type this haha

I'm in the Army, an Infatryman.... It is interesting to see the cross section of our country that share our passion in our hobby (or profession if you're that lucky or good!)

know this is an old post, but where did you find the Craftool Byrnes matters? I have looked everywhere and can't find anything resembling them
