Thanks for the warm welcome leatherwytch Yes this is a great web site

Fantastic tutorials ! thanks!

Ahahaha So it's a snub nose good to know : ) I know zip about guns unfortunately All my interest is in the holster Great info thanks ! And I ordered the stohlman book online from tandy ! Will be driving you all nuts with questions before long I'm afraid !

Good info thank you The one I want to learn on (ie that I have available for practice is a 38 special stub nose) detective Or a smith and Wesson Mt ACP 45 Or a 22 colt Challenger I would like to start with the stub nose and make a conceal and carry but over the belt My first probably stupid question, idk some holsters I have seen have the trigger guard covered and some don't? Don't know why this is?

Ok 2 part question - The show in Sheridan Wy Just wondering if you get good deals on leather when you attend a show like that ? Or is it mostly to look at try out new products? Looks like a lot of venders ? And some interesting classes just no holster making for beginers

I would love to take a beginers holster making class But most of the ones I have found so far require intermediate leather working skills and knowledge Anyone know of any beginer classes or just the best place to start?

Ahaha yes happy early birthday! That's being positive!

Well happy late birthday!

Ok update I have done the laser jet pattern transfer on other material And it works but I just tried it on leathe and not so much ? So before anyone goes and ruins a perfectly good piece of leather There may be a way to do it but it didn't work for me ?

Thanks A full time cobbler . that profession I'm afraid, has gone by the wayside That would be pretty cool to see Thanks for the info !

thanks Hoosiers!

Rlkey Very nice ! Nice color choice

This is a great way to transfer a pattern also works on wood etc but if you have a laser jet instead of an inkjet printer You can use heat , an iron will transfer it One note though be extra careful if you are burning over it the fumes can be toxic One more thing I have done if you can't get your wax paper thru use a glue stick to glue it to thicker paper or card stock Some printers are finicky

Having trouble attaching ?

Here's my version of this great little pattern to do as a gift

I burn on the leather and to add color I use an airbruch machine and dye I have have never made shoes? This may just be the start of another project then ? I , May just have to give it a go Maybe a dumb question but then how would you attach the soles to the uppers Hand sewing I suppose and then would you seal the soles with something ? Shoes are new to me ..? Guess I need to do some research

I may be posting to the wrong board? Was thinking I would like to find someone to make me a set of something like these Unfinished so I could burn them Wondering what something like these would cost me?

I printed it on a tiled setting and then you have to piece it together like a puzzle. In this paticular one there were only 2 pieces I taped them together then glued them to poster board to cut out Some printers you will have to use a poster setting Or you can also save as a JPEG and take to staples They charge $ .60 a foot however Good luck!

Hey all Grew up In Indiana but settled in Central Illinois Loving the leather working and so many knowledgable and helpful people here! Love this sight! A lot of Good folks on here !
