I'm with Leatherwytch...those are the coolest chaps. I've seen my share of 'em, and these are SO AWESOME. I love the color combo.

[New Guy In Colorado...looking For Advice On Getting Started Please!]

Hi SBPark. I'm still a newbie myself. Been tooling since July 2013. I started with a deluxe beginner Tandy kit that was a gift, and poured thru their enclosed booklet and DVD to get started on the enclosed projects. As I gained some experience and knew I wanted to continue with the craft, I began purchasing vintage "Craftool USA" tools on ebay and etsy. The vintage craftools make nice impressions. Also, Tandy makes a premium line of craftools (in addition to their regular line) that are nice and not very expensive. I have other brands that are great as well, however Tandy works good for me since I live fairly close to their Union City store and go to their leather classes on Saturday mornings.

Best of luck with your new hobby! You came to a great website for questions. I have gained so much info since joining, and really appreciate the comradery.

[Where To Get The Plastic For Id Inserts In Wallets?]

Thanks so much for sending me this link...very helpful!

[Marble Slab]

So cool. What a great deal!!

[Where To Get The Plastic For Id Inserts In Wallets?]

Howdy, I can't find a previous post for this...but I'm looking for the see-through "plastic" material for stitching into a wallet for your ID card. Prefer buying it by the yard if possible.

[Doctor's Bag And Tote]

Awesome work! Where did you get the doctor bag pattern? I'd love to try making one when I get the courage!!

[Crazy Hat Band Wings]

Love your detailed work! Would enjoy seeing more of your pics.

[1St Holster - Feedback Much Appreciated!]

Cool advice...Thanks...sounds like it can work for cell phone cases as well??

[1St Holster - Feedback Much Appreciated!]

Thanks Camano, that's great advice! Unfortunately (again) I will not have access to the gun while making the holster. But my friend has like 100 handguns, and said the holster will likely fit at least one of them!! haha!! hopefully between the blue gun, the glock pattern (it's a pull-out from a Leatherworkers and Saddlers Journal 2011 back issue), and your advice about fit, I SHOULD be in good shape...

[1St Holster - Feedback Much Appreciated!]

Thanks Wild Bill and Byggyns!

you've given me the courage to try it again! A friend wants a holster for his glock. But this time I'll have both a glock paper pattern AND a "blue gun" to fit as a go.

[1St Holster - Feedback Much Appreciated!]

Great Advice. Thank you so much for the insights. I had no idea there was so much to consider in making a holster. I don't think this is something I will make for anyone other than family members or friends...there is just too much that can go wrong. LOL.

[1St Holster - Feedback Much Appreciated!]

Here is a pic of the gun in the holster. Your feedback about how it fits would be greatly appreciated, as I now have 2 requests ftom ftiends who have seen the finished product! In my opinion I could have covered the cylinder with more leather. The fellow I made it for has not tried it out and reholstered yet. However, anything your trained eye can tell me about the angle, fit, etc from the pic would be great.

Thanks!!

[Dog Id Tags]

Also, just a thought...I've stamped my own ID tag from leather and attached it a to collar I made.

[1St Holster - Feedback Much Appreciated!]

Yeah...just got word the holster fit the handgun!!

So relieved, since I only had a paper pattern to work with.

[Two Tone Wallet]

I luv your 2-tone. It's a great looking wallet all around.

[Wip Cosplay Derringer Holster]

The rivets look great!

Nicely done.

[Harry Potter Custom Book Covers]

What a thoughtful gift to your wife. These will become a treasured hierloom.

I really like how you laced the corners...I'm not fond of double loop lacing, but your treatment on the corners is awesome!

Well done.

[A Mistake That Turned Out Kinda Nifty]

The color works great with the rustic design and stitching.

This turned out to be a "Happy Accident"!

[Cig Case. Haven't Seen One Of These In A While, Eh?]

Very nice. With a little size adjustment, this would be a cool design for a cell phone case, as well.
