    You are doing a great job.  I too like the color and finish.  You'll get better on every holster you make so take your time as you are learning.

    Thanks. I'm not sure I want to make a career of this, but it's a nice diversion from making tack.

    Very nice work! 

    Thanks Hags. I've studied a lot of your posts. Don't be surprised to see me post something that looks like yours. :)

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Back to the shop for me. Are the stitch lines close enough on the top? I can tell what you mean along the bottom. I think I need to get it formed better before I sew it. Maybe that will help.

    I am also not sure what you mean by the site channel.

    you'll want to create a site channel for the front site to clear easily.

    Thanks again,

  10. Using a Vacuum Bag . . .

    Dwight, 

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I finished my bag today with 12 gauge (12 mil) plastic from JoAnns. I have the same pump from Harbor Freight that you linked above, though I bought it before I saw the link. I made the bag fitting with parts from Lowe's. After this photo was taken,  I drilled a hole through the bushing on the inside to keep the bag from blocking the vacuum. Thanks again for sharing.

    You know the difference between a horse shoer and a dog with no legs?

    There is no difference, you can call them all you want but, they still won't come...

    That's funny. I've had that experience, but thankfully I now have a more reliable farrier.

  13. Mule Skin Horn Wrap

    Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Based on this discussion, I plan to use a burgundy latigo wrap with the rough side out. If he doesn't like it, switching to mule should be easy enough.

    I made a lot (seemed like it) of money hauling hay when I was younger. Now hay haulers in our area are on the endangered species list, thus chaps don't seem necessary.

    Take care,

    Randy

    That's why I said 90 twice 77 will not work it's 90 or like Dwight said weldwood it's just that weldwood is a bitch to use on foam if you have a lot to do but again don't use 77 I cant talk about gorilla glue I don't use it at all.

    @SamalanI am not questioning your experience, but just wanted more details regarding 3M77. I am getting ready to glue some foam on a boat seat and just happened to have a couple cans on the shelf. The 3M77 is labeled for foam. Is it the type of foam that causes an issue? I can buy 3M90, but wanted more information on your experiences. Thanks,

    Randy
