I am looking for Pull the Dot Snap Fasteners. Line 24 size. I have found that Sailrite has them, but they want $16 to ship a bag of snaps that cost less than that. Anyone else have any sources that don't charge $2.50 per snap? Thanks in advance.

I like if the snap opens accidentally, they won't fall out necessarily.

It works better than the one I don't have! suffering from analysis paralysis here. Thanks for the tips, I'll include them in my cogitations.

Nice work! I've been trying to think up a way to do this as well. Easy to use over and over and over, without scratching the lenses, or getting crushed when I'm working, or scraping up my belt...or not falling out when I'm working... etc etc. So I just leave the glasses in the other room year after year.

You might want to drop this in the for sale section... check the rules there, needs photos, shipping requirements, etc.

Maybe, but I don't do candles anymore. Still cool to the touch after 3/4 or more down?

I like the idea, but candle fires are a big issue, and I'd be worried the leather might get way too hot. Maybe there is a way to isolate it a bit more from the heat?

These just made me think of the movie "9." Now I gotta make one! Very cool work!

Even the most prized Japanese swords forged by the greatest masters do not polish the Nakago. For me it is wasted energy to be upset at that.

I like that you used black stitching for the belt loops, and contrast stitching elsewhere.

look forward to seeing it, sometimes that is what it takes for me to grasp concepts! Many thanks! Thanks, and yes, I left it a bit long knowing I could shorten it, but harder to make it longer again!

I picked up one of these cheap jobbers on Amazon, seems to work pretty well, but you have to control your angle and pressure. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BPASBK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details After that, just polish up with a small fine stone if needed.

Nice wallet and design. Maybe use a thinner thread and smaller needle if you want to avoid handstitching? I hadn't thought about tooling kangaroo...

Any chance you still have the Judges?

@JLSleather, Ok, I'll bite. Do you have a CZ P10-F and/or a Taurus Judge 2.5" and 3"?

Thank you. Just occured to me it would look even better with a silver keeper. Going to have to look around for one!

Buckle belongs to the customer. My understanding it was crafted by an individual here in Texas that is no longer able to make buckles.

Thank you! As far as the buckle, I didn't think too much of it until I made the belt and put it on there, then it really caught my attention! The combination just really looks good, even better in person than in the photos! Buckle made the belt look good, and the belt made the buckle look better. Couldn't ask for anything more!

First tapered belt I have made, designed to fit custom buckle, along with design I did for a pair of key fobs.

Nice restore there.

thank you! Appreciate it! If I had a puffer 300+ years old, that'd be impressive! Serious challenge to make a holster for that too! Thanks for the complement, also! seriously, why didn't I think of that! I debated putting border stamps on it, but felt it wouldn't look right - too cramped. But running an edge beader like I did on the band would have been perfect! I can cut the strap shorter, went with a bit longer to accommodate gloves. Might still go shorter tho. I like the idea of border stamping the skirt, I'll try that on the next one. Also really like the design on the thumb break, especially since it keeps the hardware (ie snap post/back) from ever contacting the revolver. I've been looking for those little plastic inserts, but haven't been able to find any. That design kills two birds with one stone! I'll look at reshaping it a bit too then. Thanks! Agree with you on the strap finishing. I'll figure something out to tie it in better next go round. Not sure I follow you on the thumb break installation? Is it essentially the same design that MarshalWill showed? And thanks for the comments!

I debated leave it off.. put it on... leave it off... but in the end, I just didn't want it to bounce out. Really interested to hear what others prefer here, so thank you for your comment. It kinda just felt weird to not have any retention, and I've seen em without anything. This design isn't really set up for a thumb break, but I will admit to preferring that to a strap.

Nice work! Can we see the back of the holsters please? I'm trying to get a better understanding of different ways to attach the holster section to the skirt section using the band...

Tried my hand at a revolver holster. Seems to fit a large N-Frame just fine. Open to suggestions, comments, critique, etc.!

Excellent layout on the border, and great color to go with the '51. Awesome!
