Beautiful work! How does that skirting leather compare to their tooling leather?

The Boss can be a temperamental gal from time to time. Mostly always a tension issue from operator error Keep her well lubed and talk dirty to her once in awhile and she'll treat you right.

Had it order it from the Angelus site.

Very nice Paul. Thanks for sharing. I have used the Angelus jet black and I really liked it. Do you cut the 600 for dipping?

By far the ugliest holster that I have seen posted on here.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Chief and to all the great people on this forum.

Last time I ordered from the Bluegun store (October) my back ordered stuff was here in about a week. A few months before that there was a very long wait due to rings being overloaded.

Very nice Ran. Snow on the wood pile already I see.

Seeing as you are using a cocobolo burnisher like I do I will share my 2 cents worth. After sanding edges smooth with 220 or higher I use saddle soap on the edges then burnish with the cocobolo thingy on a dremel I use it about 10,000 rpm. I then rub on a mix of 50/50 beeswax and parrafin that I melted together and formed in ice cube trays. Then go over it again with the burnisher. Heat is the key. You want to produce enough heat from the friction to melt in the waxes into the edges. Simple, and quick.

That is really sweet. Nice and clean. How much did W&C charge for shipping on that leather? I was quoted $40-$50 shipping to Arizona... I would love to try their leather but no way am I paying that much to ship it.

Interesting design and I really like the dye job. Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Here you go. http://www.bluegunstore.com/?page_id=10&slug=index.php&cPath=23_33

How much are the A grade at Goliger?

Rob even has some nice stainless one too... The only advice that I can offer is make that strap TIGHT... You can stretch that strap a little bit if it is too tight... If it's too loose... It goes in the scrap box.

Thanks Joe for the reply. Never tried Etsy. I will look into that.

I see that a few of you on here have different apps used for creating an online store on your FB page. What are the good ones? which ones to stay away from? any simple tutorials? etc.

Is the a good contact cement/ glue for leather that does not have the over powering fumes of products like weldwood etc? Winter is coming soon (even here in the desert) and the garage door will have to stay closed most of the time. I also use a propane space heater to take the chill out and I really don't want brain damaging, flammable fumes in a enclosed space.

Best tool I have is a 12 ton shop press from harbor freight... Sandwich the gun and wet holster between a dense foam and some plywood and crank it down.

Thanks for the replies... I will try all of your suggestions as time and money permits. I love this leather stuff!

Katsass is spot on (as usual)... Nothing drives me crazier than seeing a mag release button covered!

First... Hermann Oak Leather ROCKS! ... Springfield Leather has the BEST customer service of any company that I have ever dealt with ... And USMC Black Dye is the devil!!! ... Pro Oil Dye only from now on...

Just placed an order from Rob at the Blue gun store this morning. No problems here, but here is his number 704-762-1614

Your Killing me. How old are those? They don't make the 3 screws anymore do they? I have a matching set of Vaqueros on my Christmas list... And I have been a very good boy this year.

What a beautiful gun! The holster is nice but I would never conceal a beauty like that...
