UK Ministry Of Defense knife sheaths ready to ship! Always struggled with the finish on my leather work, with a bit of experimentation i now give them a coat or two of bag kote, let them dry, then i apply leather balm with atom wax let it dry and then polish, normally i give 2 applications of the wax and then i am happy with the finish. Hope this helps other people having problems with their project finishes.

Hi Josh
Beautiful work as always, i always struggle with the finish on my projects, i use Tan Kote, you said you use M&G cut 50/50 with water, is that a finish?

Hi Wyatt Earp, not sold yet, having some issues with the sizing of the belt. I won't sell anything until i know i can reproduce it in any size ordered, as one member said there is not a lot of wiggle room, so the size has to be correct.

Nice work, where did you get the buckle on the holster?
What colour dye did you use?

You may be a newcomer to the site but not to leatherwork, really nice work.

I thought Wyatt Earp was dead, but if he wasn't he would sure be proud of that rig, really nice job!

Hi All
Lone Ranger Gun Rig with one finished holster due to shop only sending me one strap buckle, when I ordered two, really wanted to get it up for sale, will have to wait another 7-11 days for the buckle set. I will have to do some thinking on the price for it, few months of planning and research have gone into it.

Hi All
Holsters for a Lone Ranger Rig I am making. Made from 6-7oz laminated veg tan leather, hand carved and stamped from pictures of the Lone Rangers holsters, or as close as I could get. Made to fit a Colt 1873 with 4 3/4 inch barrel. Just got to find the right buckle set for the cross straps, belt to follow.

Hello All
I am happy with the ageing, just wondered how other leather workers aged theirs.

Hello
Do you have a picture of the Hopalong rig, my Granddad gave a Hopalong Cassidy watch when I was a young boy, long gone now though, watch and Granddad.

Hello
I was asked for a Lone Ranger style rig for a right hander with a Colt 1873 with a 4 3/4 inch barrel. Couldn't get all the fancy concho's here in the UK so I had to use domed rivets, which they were happy with. I used 'Slickbald Custom Leather' pattern packs for the belt and holster, both pattern packs well worth the money.

I once asked Will Ghormley how he made the impression and he told me it was an old embossing wheel.
