Really late to the conversation, but for others that may be interested, to set the Swivel Holster Hardware: Cut the post to length with a pair of end cutters, put washer over post, use chisel to make + in tip of post, splay post over washer with a hammer

Because the item is special order, Standing Bear's Trading Post does not have it listed on the website. To order, please contact the shop direct at 818-342-9120 or via email at inquiry@sbearstradingpost.com

I apologize for the delayed response to your question, The swivel hardware is set similar to a copper rivet and burr. The post has to be flared over the washer but Standing Bear's Trading Post does not sell a tool to do that, you can try peening it over the washer with a hammer after you cut it to length. The post should be about 1/4" past the washer, the washer should be pushed down tight against the leather. Hope this helps.

Thank you, I have been on and off of the message board but had a customer looking for this hardware and thought since I had ordered more than he needed, if people were looking for them I would let them know Standing Bear's has them.

The Swivel Holster Hardware is not on the website due to it being a special order item. If you need one contact the shop at 818-342-9120 or via email at inquiry@sbearstradingpost.com Thank you.

Wayne does not get on here to post and I have my own account to post with so I would like to remove this account from leatherworker.net Thanks for your assistance, Sandi Taylor Name: Sandi Taylor UserName: standingbears IP Address: 75.41.180.180 Email Address: inquiry@sbearstradingpost.com

Visit the website at: http://www.sbearstradingpost.com MORE INFORMATION ON WAYNE CHRISTENSEN: Wayne Christensen, known as WC, has been doing leatherwork for almost 30 years now. He started in Leathercraft when a neighbor who was moving gave him a 55-gallon drum full of scrap leather. He went to his local Leather store and bought a small beginners tool set. The manager, Don McGown was one of the most helpful people he ever met. If it had not been for all Dons help and encouragement, Wayne would have given up. After a few years, Wayne was able to take some classes from masters like Bob Beard, Peter Main, Tony Laier and Chuck Smith. Leatherwork became his passion; he turned it into his full time business in 1990 and has never had regret. In 1995, the new Tandy Store Manger asked him to teach the advanced leather class for the store and Wayne has been teaching ever since. In 1999, Tandy closed all their retail stores down. In order to assist leathercrafters, scouts and others to be able to purchase leather-working supplies and with the opening of Standing Bear's Trading Post. Wayne moved his shop in and helped run the store. He now teaches several level of classes from beginners to advance classes. WC has found teaching to be one of the most rewarding things he has ever done. His students have pushed his abilities far beyond anything he would have done on his own. In June 2006, the owner William “Standing Bear” Kimmey passed away and the family transferred ownership of the store to WC. WC is active in the community Wayne have been involved in over the years, include the following: The Autry Museum invited him to instruct at their “make it and take it” for the public in ’95, ’96, & ’97. In 1995, he did a TV show for HGTV called “What’s Your Hobby?” Even though he did leatherwork for a living not a hobby, they thought Wayne would be best for the show. He has been a member of the International Internet Leathercrafters Guild ("IILG") since 1996 and is a member of The Leathercraft Guild and the current Vice-president. In 1999 Wayne was the only leather artist invited to put their work in the Fuller Museum in Brockton Mass. In an exhibit, call “Hand Crafted for Outdoor Sports” On September 17th 2006, Wayne was presented a flag flown over the Capital by Congressman Brad Sherman's Office in recognition for dedication and service to the youth of the community. In February 2008, Wayne was asked to be a part of Biker Radio Magazine’s radio show entitled “The Leather Show”. During the episode, he was able to share with listeners how to work with leather in order to personalize their motorcycles. On April 20th 2008, Wayne had the honor of being presented with the Weaver memorial Perpetual Trophy for Outstanding Service to The Leathercraft Guild, by guild president Robert Ambriz
