Actually West Eagle is closing down operations in california but they will still be operating in Japan, so everything will still be available just gonna have to pay for shipping, Here's a contact # that is still good, or at least it was last week 1(310)787-8577 Ask for Hiro or Guicci

Kevin these are the ones, do yourslf a favor and get a set, they'll soon become your favorites. Rick

Thanks CW, yeah I dont wanna go too small and have it all muddled looking. you find the 35s to your liking?

You may want to try the wet molding without the nails, it'll keep the extra holes out of the picture, I wet mold all my holsters and have never nailed them down. Rick

Scott, Id do just that, if you need to turn out a product use some braid but start practicing with the handstitching, it never looks perfect the first few times but from my experience the thing that helps most with handstitching is practice along with just go slow and concentrate on precision, carefully get your holes marked straight and even and get your awl work down and punch all your holes the same. Ive also found some good tools help alot, a good quality awl (Bob Douglas) and some good stitch markers. That and some kind of stitching pony or horse. I got pretty good pretty quickly and even after getting a sewing machine I still really prefer handstitching sometimes, I find it relaxing if you can believe that. tte name='brettra' timestamp='1313295469' post='209530'] Rick, Thank you. I had seen this before but could not find it. This was the idea I had in mind bout would not have figured it out without reference. I'm not sure how well I'd manage this with hand stitching so I'm starting to gear towards some lace but I think I'll try my practice piece. Again, great help and assistance. Thank you both for taking the time to respond. Scott

Thanks Bruce

Thanks Bruce, I was kinda inclined to go with the larger sizes

Shelly I see the veiners and the shader but not the flower center, did it sell already?

Got a few extra dollars and was thinking of getting some of Barry Kings bargrounders, just wanted to take a quick poll to get some thoughts on everyones prefered sizes. Hard to get a good idea of actual size of these from the website.

Thats the Hidecrafter Pebblers, do yourself a favor and get some they make three sizes. Gotta be one of my most used stamps Thanks Bear Thanks Chris, everybody that gets those pebblers has the same thing to say about em. Awesome backgrounders Thanks Tom

Ed please let us know if you decide to make the modelers for sale. Rick

Thanks Dawg

David who do you buy your leather from, your stuff always looks so clean

Thanks Roo, those Hidecrafter pebblers are probably my most used tools

One I just finished up with an old school tattoo theme

A couple things Ive been trying to find the time to finish, one is a seat thats gonna have a matching P Pad. pretty neat stuff I got from Rojes' Leather, croc in a suede finish. The other is the beginnings of a David Mann single swing arm bag

Kevin, I'll take both of those, Rick

Jeez Kev, looks like most of the crying, whining and attitude in this thread is comin from you buddy. Chill out, go kick a puppy or somethin to make you feel better. "No sense in typing it twice" Hell Im sure most of us woulda been happy without you typing it once,

Show us a picture of the end that the rivet goes in, seems to be a problem with the jaws

Did you make that outta veg tan? Congrats Bro, good job Who said theres no such thing as a pretty baby

Jeff, tools arrived, thanks loads buddy, great deal.

Kevin, Id like to get the Glock 21 & 30. And a S&W M&P 40 Thanks Rick
