  1. Price reduced. will sell for $1100.00. willing to ship at buyers expense. Thanks.
  2. price isnt set in stone. make an offer. maybe ill say yes maybe no.
  3. ive done a couple dozen thumb break holsters for revolvers and im curious how everyone keeps the cylinder from grabbing the snap on the back of the holster when drawing the gun. I try to grind out a bit of leather and recess the snap but im just curious how yall do it.
  4. i use a couple of pieces of closed cell foam. get the holster wet put the gun in and i sandwich it between the two pieces of foam and sit on it. very crude but it works. obviously if you are girth challenged it might not work as well. i have also used a couple of slabs of wood clamped together instead of using my body weight.
  5. do you have a drawing of the pattern you are going with. it would help answer your question if we knew what the holster looked like
  6. get a remnant bag from springfield. $15 and i got at least 50 small usable pieces and one piece of black snake skin at least 2 feet long and 8 or 9 inches wide
  7. this was my first time working with any exotic. i got a remnant bag from springfield and was blown away at what all came with it. i saw this piece and thought it would be perfect. im trying to figure out what skin it is. any help would be awesome.
  8. I am selling my cast iron Tippmann Boss. I have not used this on any projects. I bought it about a month and a half two months ago and it has sat on my bench untouched. I decided to go a different route. it has all of the original tools and accessories. comes with several bobbins, a roll of white 346 with just a few feet missing. a roll of black 277 that i filled one bobbin with and was gonna try and stitch this week but havnt had time to sit down and mess with it. i also have the led light that will go with the machine. a pack of 10 #200 needles plus the original assortment of needles that came with the machine new. comes with the upgraded wooden shipping crate. machine is very clean and I am the second owner. Asking $1300 obo. willing to ship at buyers expense. will post pictures when I get home.
  9. It could be worn that way but the customer wanted it to be drawn out the back of the the holster.
  10. couple holsters and sheaths ive done lately. the two carvings have been my first attempts. nothing too elaborate but it wasnt a crash and burn so i was happy
  11. I have a customer who has an elephant hide. I am making a holster and a belt with it. with the lkeft over he wants a pair of cowboy boots made. are there any boot makers in ga who can help.
  12. i did a nationwide search on Craigslist. Found one near my corporate office in Michigan. Guy drove it over and my company shipped it to me. Got the cast iron boss. 15 needles a brand new spool of white 346. The optional wood shipping crate and all the original accessories shipped for $950. Great deal in my opinion.
  13. i got it out and put together. i messed around with a little but ive got a couple of projects i have to finish by sunday so i didnt spend too much time with it yet. im going to put it through its paces this weekend.
  14. bought a used cast iron boss and it came in today. cant wait to get off work so I can give it a try. got a really good deal on it. very stoked.
  15. I have a Singer 241-12 that I took in with a trade. It isnt really what I need so I am selling it. comes with table. ive got probably 50 needles or more. there are several bobbins, and several other new parts. i will post better details about the parts and pictures later. asking $400.00. I am in North Ga.
  16. in a couple of weeks I have to start on a holster that will be using elephant. customer has had this elephant hide for years and was looking for someone to make him a holster with it. he want the entire holster made of elephant. we havnt worked out all of the fine details yet but i have a few preemptive questions from you guys. around the edges should i wrap the hide over the edge of the leather and mate the front and back of the holster together, or should i leave the elephant even with the edges of the leather and burnish all to the same edge. im not sure which will be better appearance wise as well as for longevity. secondly i use either a resolene/water mixture. or saddle lac. will either of these products work on the elephant. will it behave similar to cowhide. any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated. i feel im doing a good job with my projects but the elephant hide is new territory.
  17. does anybody know where i could find a mold for a chiappa rhino. 2" or 4" inch. ive looked all over the web and I am having a hard time finding one. any help would be appreciated.
  18. I've been thinking a lot. For the money and what I'm using it for I'm getting a boss.
  19. i checked on the luberto. thet y are in a transitional phase and will be producing more in may. i can get one of them for 1400. has anybody used one of them and is it better or worse than the boss. i think for now one of the hand operated machines will be the way to go just not sure which one to go with.
  20. Thanks for all the info. It is much appreciated. Now I have more to go on.
