  1. The customer is always right, but is often a cheap skinflint idiot.
  2. Am I both impressed and embarassed. Fine work. I also favor Rugers and made a buscadero type holster set for my .45 acp/.45 lc. Not nearly as good as yours and I have more experience.....sigh.
  3. I can understand your problem. I am making a set of saddlebags for my power wheelchair, and believe me, there aren't any patterns for that........soooo, I designed my own.
  4. A good tip there. I may do something similar to the saddlebags I am making for my wheelchair. 'Fraid my horse (and motorcycle) days are over.
  5. I wish I had seen your excellent tutorial BEFORE I made my holster (left handed buscadero style)
  6. I don't know if they are practical or not, and I don't care!!!!!! Love 'em. My wife says I like miniatures because I R 1.
  7. Excellent work, of course. I tend towards the buscadero type holster, although not historically correct I understand. Mine was simple because I needed something (left handed) for my Ruger .45 acp/.45 lc. I desined it from scratch to fit me. Not great, but it works for me.
  8. You do great work. I just finished a buscadero rig, left handed, for my favorite customer, me. Not in a class with yours...but I don't have to stick the .45 down my pants at least.
  9. I have told people to find a belt they own and measure that. Sometimes works, sometimes they **** that up.
  10. My biggest problem is that I do a lot of very small oak leaves 1/4'' or less. I turned to some clay modeling tools (which I modified). I would welcome and suggestions on this.
  11. Very correct. Once made a good but unsuccessful try at cutting my thumb off with a circular saw.
  12. The thickness needed depends a lot on how hard you plan to hit it, and what's beneath it of course. You are sick. I like that in a person.
  13. Been working leather since 1968. Still cutting me. Don't mind that so much as stabbing my self with a sewing awl or such. Well, my name is SCARbrough.
  14. Frankly, if you aren't carving or tooling it, distressed leather gives a piece great character. I'm saving one that has an S brand on it for something special for Self.
