Thats a nive piece of work. All I cam suggests it "blocking" your keepers by dampening then amd sliding them over a piece of wood the same dimensions as the strap width and number of layers of strap and then tapping them square around. Looks sharp, less likely to get cuaght and give more contact area. When i was doing a fair bit of strap work I made a variety of sizes of loop sticks for this purpose.

And thanks all for the compliments... seeing some of the older work makes we fell even more push to get some bench time.

Not lined as it is for an airgun collector and mostly for his wall or the odd walk around the house quick drawing on his wife/dog/ mirror... and it is drum dyed tan harness leather. Thanks all for the compliments, much appreciated.

its really called tri and tri again weave......

I cut it so I wasn't stitching through it and with a soft suede over it was very comfortable.

Nice rework of an already good design.

I ordered a techsew servo to out on my my 335... are your issues with the servo itself or the head? My 1245 is comig with a Kobe servo like Chris sells.

Agreed super guy and service.

Hi HardenGoods I actually ended up with a Pfaff 335 as my first cylinder arm.

Wow... you made that?

I used the floral pattern from a Stohlman holster pattern for this. I like them actually. I guess some call that style Tandy Floral..?

Excellent work and you left your friend a few holes to grow into ! I would agree the back belt could be tanned so to speak but it will weather and blend in in no time.

Cant really be seen but has suede covered neoprene pad. I think I really like the tri-weave....

Made for a 22LR mares leg and I modified an old Daisy Red Ryder to match the form factor to build around. Oak leave pattern throughout the belt.

Surprisingly comfortable as it turns out but hard to take a good photo off. I have some old leather as I work slow and fro this I forgot to do a light NFO treatment so I assume that's why some of the wrinkling occurred.

Thought I would put a few more of the past project up to "show off" as directed!

These are good books if you are a blade and sheath maker. Internet is great but its nice sometimes to have a book on the bench as you work through something.

Nice work on the tool making and coaster.... I recall learning the lesson from someone to make sure I clip my nails before tooling... always do that now.

If it is a good sharp blade it will eventually cut your threads again unfortunately unless you built the second version with a welt. blades have even cut out of the sheath when there is not welting in the design and that is a danger to the carrier more than a concern for a ruined sheath. That said that is a very cool looking design all round.

In this case essentially he wanted mote leather and opening than needed for the XDm so he could shove a longer pistol in there... not necessarily that he didnt want it close. For an IWB I believe a little longer and open toe is more comfortable specially with the square stibby poly guns... OWB I think its a matter of style/design and function... i dont think a feild holster should have an open toe for instance. Just me. That might be a good question for a nrw thread and hear from some of the other more experienced makets.

Pfaff with a new servo and table!!!! Very excited and now must stop looking at machines and spent more time using them more!!! Stand by for pics of the machine shop revised to hold all 3 machines now... pfaff 335, 1245 and Singer 96k. Next an hopefully last will come a bih 441 clone but for now its the stitching horse for thicker pieces.

Yes actually 4-5 was his position. I can scan the templates if you wish. Although its pretty straight forward from the pics.

Wow congratulations Caitlin! Just keep dreaming and doing!

As it says... drop loop style rig for a Dan Wesson CO2 pistol EDIT - this is one I may have posted before but just came across the picture again and thought I would throw it out there.

Made for a big friend who specifically wanted the toe wide open for some reason... I used metal strapping between the layers to reinforce the opening so it would collapse... big fella remember... and that did the trick. Made for his airsoft and worn during milsim action he told me it was the most comfortable he had ever worn so that worked well. EDIT - like the DW post I may have shared this a while ago but was cruising my file sand thought I would see if it stuck to the wall.
