    Thanks so much for the tips. I will try this.

    @fredk, I will look into the repair gel. How does this work? Do you fill in the scratch, and then polish it?

    Yes, they were expensive. I'm not a boot maker or anything, I just make a few projects here and there, and was asked if these could be fixed? I figured it would be tough to try to get the scracth out, but thought I'd take a chance and ask. Thanks for the reply.

    Hello everyone, I need to know if a boot like this can be repaired? It's a large scratch and I'm not sure how to go about getting it fixed. I was thinking of sanding around the scratch, then trying to buff with either saddle soap or an oil? Any ideas??? Thanks

    Hello, I have purchased some hides that are now showing signs of mold on them. How can I remove the mold and make sure it doesn't return. Thanks

    Thanks alot. I did go ahead and attach the other slide and yes it made a big difference, its working like it should now. I just couldn't figure out how I would get it to hold up, without me having to hold it when I slid it out, and your advice solved my problem. Thanks again..

    No offense taken, and any critique helps. Yes its already too heavy with that folder in it. So you are saying I should use two slides for the drawer and that will keep it from sagging?

    After reevaluating my needs for a tool holder, I went all out and built a rolling cart, and here is the end product. I have 2 slide out shelves and 1 slide out side box. Its my first woodworking project, so I think it came out okay, for what I need.

    Thanks alot, just the finishes I'm looking for as well and the prices look reasonable.

    Thank you, that one is nice, but I would like to have some of my tools hanging, but I may be able to incorporate that type of design on a hanging rack of some sort.

    Yes, I've looked at ohio travel bag, but I don't have a wholesale account and their affiliate has it, but its pricey, and as I said I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it at this time.

    Does anyone have a similar rack that they've made themselves similar to this, that will stand on a table. Is there a woodworking plan I could use? My tools have taken over my table, and I need one like this that I can make, I just need some other ideas on how to add drawers being that I've not worked with wood all that much. Thanks

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to locate a suppluer that carries these type of latches, but won't charge an arm and a leg for shipping them to Texas.

    Thanks

    Love the first bag, I've had a bag that I was working on very similar to your first one, but wanted to know how did you finish the sides of the bag, did you weave the handle/strap through the bottom or use any type of glue to hold the sides together? I'm at a stopping point because I want to weave the straps in but don't want to mess up either because its a nice piece of leather. Thanks in advance.

    Hi There, I'm very interested in making my own maul. Does anyone have any Ideas as far as the type of material I would need to make the head of the maul. I was thinking of getting a cutting board and trying to glue or melt the disc together somehow but not really sure about that approach, being that I don't have many tools around to attempt this, and I was looking at the Beary Mauls and I really like them, but the price tag is a bit much right now. Any Ideas, Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I really appreciate it, I want to make a couple prototypes as samples to show to potential clients.

    Thanks for the help everyone, I purchased the stiffeners from the blue gun store, and have readjusted my pattern a bit, so we shall see what I come out with. One other question I have thought is, where can I purchase the tensioners I see on many holsters and are they really needed? The gentleman I'm making the replacement for has one on his current holster, and I wanted it to be as similar to what he already has.
  21. toolleather
    No, I do not have the gun, but I purchased a model blue gun for it, but upon reading some of the comments in the forums about the blue guns, it seems that they may not be exact to the original, so I don't want it to end up being too small. Like I said, this is my first attempt at making a holster.
  22. toolleather
    Thanks, I saw that one and it kind of helped a bit, I guess my frustration is that my measurements are fine on my patterns, but then once I get them on leather it's a bit too tight, I have to just keep adjusting and add a bit to account for the leather thickness.

    Hello Everyone, I asked this question in another thread, but have yet to receive any responses, maybe someone can assist in this thread. I received a request to make a replacement holster for a Smith & Wesson VE9. Now I've never made a holster before, so this will be my first one and I want to do a great job, but I can't seem to find any patterns for a thumb break for this model gun on line. I'm wanting to do this in either an Avenger style holster or the (pic) link down below. Any Ideas?? Thanks This is similar to what I would like to make: http://www.warriorde...-hand-md-22900/
