  1. This is mine...nothing too fancy. Hope you can read it...
  2. I've been playing with some holster designs, and also doing a little border stamping. Anytime I decide to try something different, I always start with the Glocks. Input, good or bad, is always welcome.
  3. Thank you, JT. I give up & quit all the time...I just don't stay that way too long. I still have a long way to go, but I've found that if you keep at it, things start to "click" for you more and more. The frustrations are just part of the process. Don't quit. Thank you, Jeff. You made my day.
  4. The 346/277 combo works great with the 4000P. No special tweaks or adjustments. I like the look of the thicker thread on the face side--it really looks good (to me). Steve Tayrien (Cobra Steve) sold me the Toro when he was with Artisan, before he started his own deal with Cobra. Thank you, Dick. You made my day!
  5. Thanks, Carl. Had a friend of mine tell me once that folks might think I was short-cutting by leaving the back panel natural. Had to explain to him that it's a little more troublesome to do that than to just dump the whole thing in the dye bath. I've just always been paranoid about dye-bleed/ruboff on somebody's high-dollar pants. Thanks, Monica!
  6. Thank you, Rhome! That's mighty high praise coming from you! And very much appreciated!
  7. Thanks, particle. My Makers stamp is from Infinity Stamps. Their website is www.InfinityStamps.com. Real good people. I'm no expert by any stretch, but the tools I use on the trigger guard are the same ones I use for the other detailing/boning. Some of 'em are a little weird...maybe a lot weird. On the trigger guard I'll start with my thumbs--whether I've used the press or not. I also use the wooden handles (round ends) of a couple of edgers I have, to get things started. I use an edge slick from Jeremiah Watt to sharpen my lines in the trigger guard. Here's a link to the tool JW Edge Slick. It's an edge slick, but I've never used it for that. Beyond that, I use an old butter knife (Mark Garrity gave me that idea), a crochet hook, the butt-end of a Sharpie marker, and a couple of big pear shaders. Real fancy tools. Hope that helps.
  8. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dick. Heck, I went and looked at your website and the pics you've got up there. If I wasn't already committed I'd have come back here and taken my holster picture down! Mighty nice work!!
  9. Thank you, Denster. I was trying for something a little different without getting too far over the top.
  10. Here's the backside, Dan. I left it natural to avoid dye bleed or rub-off.
  11. Thank you, sir. I machine stitch with an Artisan Toro 4000P. Top thread is 346 with 277 in the bobbin.
  12. Haven't posted a holster pic in a while, so I thought I'd put this one up for your input. It's got a 15-degree rake, and the backside is left natural. Belt slots are for a 1.5 inch wide, 1/4" thick gunbelt.
  13. Good to hear it, Steve! Haven't been to Pendleton in years--looks like you're turning into a regular road warrior!
  14. I think that's a real good idea. I like the sight track the welt creates, too.
  15. Good advice. Most of the Glocks are a pretty sure bet. Also, as mentioned, the 1911's are always in demand. I'd recommend going directly to Ring's for Blue Guns. You'll need your resale tax number to get wholesale pricing.
