hey yall i want to make a holster for my dads 40 and i was wondering what yall do to mold it like that. also how thick of leather are you using.
-

-
My advice (being new to this to) is to order the tree ASAP, i just placed my first order with bowden yesterday and they said it would be ten weeks. every one else i talked to said longer.what does he charge for that video

i am doing a class project for my marketing class. i was wondering if any of you guys make saddles then sell them or if every one just takes custom orders. if you do id like to ask you a few questions. I am working on my first saddle now but its really just a custom order for me.

-
what type or rigging do you use, also what positions do you like and why
-

i have not bought an awl yet what kind should i get.
-
do you get the leather wet when you are stabing it with your awl
-
when you sew it do you punch out all the holes then sew it or do you use an all to stab each hole one at a time.

i know that sheepskin is supposed to be better but how much of a difference does it make. is it worth the extra. what do you all use

first time tooling roses seat
figthnbullrider replied to Roger's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
how did you die that one and what color did you use. i have been trying to get mine stuff to look like that but it come out streeky. very nice work -
i am very good with a wet stone and a hunting knife but i wanted to know if you sharpen a round knife the same way. any help would be great
-
i am kind of new to this also but i think you will need all the tooling stamps. a round knife is great. get a good bench to work on. riveting tools, a strap cutter to cut belts is great just dont buy a cheap one. edging tools. i have found that i buy tools as i need them and i use them alot once i get them. its hard to say exactly what you will need untill you start doing it.

what side of the leather is the grain side?
figthnbullrider replied to figthnbullrider's topic in All About Leather
thanks guys. the book i was reading was saying flesh side out/ grain side out and i was so confused thank you for clearing it up -
i know this may be a stupid question but what side of the leather is the grain side and what side is the flesh side
-
any one who has made a saddle. is the first saddle you made a good one that you use or is it just a stepping stone to making good saddles
-
im kind of new to leather working (about a year working on stuff) but i have found that you will have alot more fun buying a side and making all kinds of things with it. you will have lots of extra to practice and screw up and make girlfriends stupid gifts and such. it just seems like once i bought a side i gained alot of experience.
