Hi Darren. I notice you live in Australia, do you get your thread from America, if that is where cowboy bob is based. Will check out his site. Regards Glen

Hello All. I have just bought myself a tippmann boss leather sewing machine for making belts, knife sheaths and holsters. I have been reading some of the threads about black threads not working very well with the machine, why is this and where is the best place for buying a good black thread that works. Also I want a thick thread that looks good, what are the best thread and needle combination. Machine yet to arrive but looking forward to working with it. Also any advice to a new tippmann boss user would be appreciated. Regards Forester.

Hi All Thank you for the nice comments, I have just bought a US stamp, but the one in the pictures is hand stamped. Regards Forester

Para Military Belt Cavalry Holster from Will Ghormley's 1911 pattern pack

Hi All, does anybody know where I could buy a stamp similar to the attached picture, it is for a 1911 holster. I live in the UK and can't find one anywhere! Regards Forester

Leatherman charge sheath to fit on belt or molle system.

Ka Bar sheath with multiple carry options.

No the tab is from Will Ghormleys 1911 pattern pack.

Two more 1911 holsters.

Thanks for the feedback Jeff. I was not concerned about the lines because it was going to be dyed black. But If I make a lighter one in the future I will do as you suggested. Regards Glen

Finished holster.

Thank you Constabulary, will check it out. Regards Forester

Hi All I have just bought a Singer 29k15 sewing machine for hopefully doing belts and other small items. I have got it sewing but it keeps missing stitches, this is only on test pieces. I don't want to use it on the good stuff yet, not until I know it is 100% reliable. If anybody could help and does anybody know where I can download a users manual for this machine, it would be very much appreciated. Regards Forester

Thanks for your reply Jeff, I do all of my sewing by hand at the moment but I have just bought a Singer 29k15, trying to get it up and running, to help with belts and some other items. Regards Forester

Just another question, do you hand sew all of your holsters.

Do you sell many of these type holsters. I have sold one of your Avenger style holster's, I think maybe to a collector, theatre or such like, because we are not allowed to carry guns in the UK. Which is a bit frustrating because I was in the British Infantry for 23 years and I feel undressed without a weapon. Regards Forester

What weight leather did you use, I used 7-9oz.

Hi Jeff. Is the reason it is boned down at the back for retention, because when worn it will not be seen. Regards Forester

Hi All. Thought I would try a non western holster, so I made a 1911 holster from a JLS pattern, thank you Jeff. It is still drying at the moment, will post more pics when it is finished. Regards Forester

Hi All Well I have just bought myself a Singer 29K15, I still intend to hand stitch the holster's that I make, but I want to use the singer for lined belts and dog collars. Does anybody know which combination of needle's and thread's that I should use. Regards Forester

Rear of holster with makers mark.

Thankyou for all the replies. Mechanics gloves sounds good. Will see what i can find on the net.
