Looking for a small Basket weave stamp but I don't know the number . Looking on Ebay and don't want to get the wrong one . I know there is an extra small one but I wouldn't be able to even see it . Thanks , Sorcerer

So I never saw where you attach the cover to all these parts , or I totally missed it . Plus when it is folded the short end does match the outside but it will not open all the way ?? Don't get it . Sorcerer

I had a pattern on my PC that went South on me and I was unable to retrieve it . Anyone got one . This time I will make a perm . copy Thanks in advance Arley

Thanks to you . I think I will leave some room just in case .I may leave a bit around the trigger guard are also then adjust as needed after the fold . Thanks , Arley

Thanks a lot . I just wasn't sure. I can not ruin leather as I am on a fixed income and an old fart to boot . Arley

I have made a couple holsters out of 8/9 oz. leather with good results . I made my own pattern for a "Slim Jim " style . My question is will I need to extend out past my pattern in order to make up for the much thicker 9/10 leather , or am I over thinking this ? Just seems that there will be a difference once it is folded over . Thanks for any feedback / recommendations . Sorcerer1 Arley

Sexy Like the colors.

Looking for a good stitching groover . Not a $100.00 one just one that works . I have one I got some time ago and It is Cr__ Got it on EBay year ago and they sell for anywhere from $4.00 and up but are all the same design . Thanks , Sorcerer1 Arley

No reason other than ease of doing it . Pulling a lighter thread seems it would be easier as I will be hand stitching it . Sorry for late replies . Been having health problems that cause a drop in my activities .

# 400 nylon 1/2 oz .

I like , very much . Great color . If I may ask what dyes etc. did you use ? Arley aka Sorcerer1

As the title suggests . I will be hand stitching a liner to a gun belt . 9/10oz . belt and 4/5 oz . liner leather . My thinking is thinner rather than heavy . But I'm pretty new to this part of the craft . I have stitched one other belt but not this heavy so ? Arley aka Sorcerer1

Thanks for the info. I think I'll go with the 6/7 oz. I'll get some more leather and start hand stitching it . Going to be about a month though .

The belt is 8/9 oz . leather Carries a heavy six gun .

Very nice . Classy man .

What is the best ? for lining a gun belt . What oz. to use or use suede .? Thanks in advance , Arley

Is there any tooling leather a little cheaper than HO ? I am retired and on a fixed income so every little bit of savings helps . I read that once HO you never go back but in my case it is hard to justify the price . Thanks in advance Arley Sorcerer 1

Sorry for the late reply but your holster looks great . Guess I'll just keep trying . Leather is high if you make mistakes . Sorcerer1

Try lemon juice or vinegar Let stand wet for a long time . May or may not work .

Is there a formula for how wide to make the loops so it doesn't wrinkle so much ? I know there are many pistols and different widths of the gun . I have 1/4 inch slots done , I just not sure about how far to cut them out from each side . Does this make sense ? Thanks anyway and any info. is welcome , Sorcerer1

I'm sure there are others that know more than I , but I Always put a spine up the open side of all mine That makes it three widths thick . Seems to make it less able to twist or bend . I don't use as heavy of leather than many do, this from a leather master from my past . He was of the belief that the saddle skirting he had seen was over kill . I also don't store my pistolas in the holster , but I do stuff some paper in them to hold their shape . I use" Art" paper that has no acid in it so as not to create an issue later on . Living in AZ . I don't need to worry about a lot of humidity . Anyway what's what I know , I think ? Arley AKA Sorcerer 1

I like your pattern .

Very cool . Great talent

WOW Your are an artist . Great skill here . Detail is just amazing .

I like it very much . Looks dated and appropriate to era . Takes courage to go outside of the box .
