  1. How soon would you like to have one there Chuck . . . ??? May God bless, Dwight
  2. Nice . . . check with Toledo Sewing Machines . . . got my servo motors both from there . . . They're one of the advertisers up at the top of the page. May God bless, Dwight
  3. I was in your searching idea a couple years ago . . . saw this sander . . . bought it . . . brought it home. It was about 150 dollars US then . . . 160 now My advice would be don't buy this. The drum oscillates up and down while rotating . . . which is great for doing wood projects . . . useless for leather . . . or at least what I do in leather. I have a little noisy 30 inch belt sander that works the very best for me. May God bless, Dwight
  4. Having all my electrician tools handy . . . a flat sided pair of side cutters works . . . I do my best to pull the two pieces apart just enough to get the nose of the cutters between the leather pieces . . . squeeze . . . push in . . . squeeze . . . slowly work in until I cut the rivet or pull the head off it. Never harms the surface or the back that way. May God bless, Dwight
  5. That definitely is a process what will deserve and receive some "experimentation". Thank you Klara for posting this . . . it made an otherwise hum drum day . . . a little more exciting. May God bless, Dwight
  6. Good job . . . I'm going to sometime later this spring do something similar for my Cowboy 4500 . . . I'm buried though right now. May God bless, Dwight
  7. I did all I could do to try to work out with the Sig . . . but I have neuropathy in my hands and feet. Both the Sig . . . and my Taurus G3C . . . the roughness of their frames was just too much for my hands. Sounds crazy . . . but it hurt my hands to shoot either one even with target loads . . . much less anything that was serious. Traded the G3C for an old slick Ruger . . . so between the drone and the Ruger . . . I'm OK now. But you seriously do have a good weapon there . . . if you can use it. May God bless, Dwight
  8. Don't know what happened to post I put up earlier . . . maybe didn't hit the right button. Anyway . . . am not a fan of the gun itself . . . sold mine to buy a drone with the proceeds . . . But you did one heck of a good job on the holster for it. I have one very close to that design in which I carry my Shield. Not really sure which NFL team would be tickled with your color choice . . . but whichever . . . the red and black would no doubt make em smile. Have fun with that vac bag system . . . it'll do you well. May God bless, Dwight
  9. Well . . . I guess I see it from the other side of the tracks . . . Nobody is going to grab my gun . . . unless they take it out of my hand. Reason?? I keep it securely and seriously out of sight to any and all who may be looking. I carry concealed . . . as do virtually all of my customers . . . and the only time a perp should even know we have a gun is when he is looking at the hole in the end of the barrel and wondering if it is a 9, a 40, a 10mm, a 45 . . . or one of them .50 cal sodbuster guns. I do fully appreciate the fact that there are people who would grab one any time they got the chance . . . and some of those folks are downright ugly, dirty, mean, and nasty. I truly believe the odds are in the favor of the guy who keeps his cool . . . like the dude down in Tx (?) last week . . . in the taco joint . . . dude comes in and robs all the patrons . . . including our hero. Our hero allows him to do what he wants until he seems to really threaten this other customer . . . hero pulls out the pistola and pops him 8 or 9 times . . . including a head buster on the ground. Perp had no clue if hero's gun was in a holster . . . on a clip . . . or what . . . until it was too late . . . lead was flying and he was doing a serious internal bleeding program. That is the scenario I make my customer's holsters for . . . keeping the peace thru effectively applied violence. May God bless, Dwight
  10. I guess I've been fortunate . . . never had anyone truly bust a gut going against my advice. But also . . . I only use these clips for smaller guns . . . and only if it is an IWB . . . like say a Shield . . . would not use it for a 1911 or a Python or anything similar in size and weight. May God bless, Dwight
  11. I found a really nice US Navy leather jacket . . . bought it . . . didn't notice the cigarette smell until I got home with it. Anyone got a foolproof way to clean it without hurting it?? Lady said it was her dad's but he did not wear it hardly at all . . . then when he lost a bunch of weight . . . never wore it again. Just need a bit of help on this one . . . thanks. May God bless, Dwight
  12. I don't get a lot of holster requests for clips . . . but this is the one I try my best to steer peopl to using. It's strong . . . but can be manipulated a tad looser . . . fits perfect over my CCW belts I make that generally are .200 inch thick . . . or thereabouts.. The little bump at the bottom of it keeps the holster from coming out of your pants if the draw is a little tight for one reason or another. . . and it won't "jump" out of your pants running or something else. You rivet it at the bottom . . . cut a little slot for that steel bump at the bottom . . . and let it come out of the holster leather about 3/8 of an inch from the top. I sell them mostly for single mag holders . . . they work great. I get em from Tandy. May God bless, Dwight
  13. Hello . . . Half a world away . . . under the North star . . . and the big dipper . . . But we say welcome . . . glad to have ya aboard. May God bless, Dwight
  14. I would rivet it to the front decorative piece on the holster . . . which in turn would be sewn on. But I would not buy that type of clip . . . they don't work very well for holsters. May God bless, Dwight
  15. DJI Phantom 4 . . . an expensive toy . . . working on getting my FAA license so I can use it commercially. Don't plan on doing any real "money" work . . . but their rule is hard, fast, and serious . . . have to have it . . . or else. Do you have one?? May God bless, Dwight
  16. Nice holster for a lousy gun. Sold my 365 and bought a drone with the proceeds. Drone is much better . . . Good job . . . keep up the good work May God bless, Dwight
  17. Since you are our brother in the leather business . . . That makes her our niece . . . And we're proud of her as well . . . You certainly are blessed . . . May God bless, Dwight
  18. You're welcome . . . Not much you can do to bend a Boss . . . Have fun . . . Happy New Year . . . May God bless, Dwight
  19. Interesting . . . guess I never saw one done like that. Nearest would have been my mother's apron strings . . . lol May God bless, Dwight
  20. OK . . . got my attention . . . looks like a long, long belt. How does the belt buckle work on something like that? Thanks, may God bless, Dwight
  21. I apologize for taking so long to get this done . . . but Christmas and a contrary phone / video setup wouldn't let it happen until I got my guru on the phone this morning and he walked me thru the steps. Here is a little video that shows you what I have done since the sales person in Tandy showed me how to do this back in 2000 when I bought my machine. Hope this helps: https://youtube.com/shorts/PKbPuN3xZA May God bless, Dwight
  22. Excellent work . . . I could come close to that on the leaves . . . but I'd have to go out in the woods . . . get em . . . and super glue em to the leather . . . That is a real special talent you have my friend. May God bless, Dwight
  23. Yep . . . JLS covered pretty much my comments: Loose stitch lines . . . Some kind of oddball positioning of the belt slots . . . But he left out the part about the backside of the holster. There needs to be leather separating the wearer from the weapon. Leather feels better against the body than does Glock, Colt, S&W or any of the others. Another thing I do . . . I turn my back piece so the flesh side is against the customer. Makes the holster stay in place better . . . and by showing hair side . . . the holster looks better in my book. May God bless, Dwight
  24. Sometimes a lesson is actually a blessing in disguise . . . I bought some good leather from Weavers . . . and we had a good relationship until the last time. Someone should have given the cow her hide back . . . I would have if I could have. BUT . . . I hung on to it . . . knowing one day there would be a need that I could put that garbage to work in . . . and it would work very well when I found it. Yep . . . had a special job come up where the leather just had to be leather . . . nothing fancy . . . no special requirements. I did the job . . . it was a very good project as far as the build and final look was concerned . . . buyer was ecstatic . . . My lesson simply is Weaver will never get another dime of my money . . . and I used to really enjoy the drive to their shop . . . wandered thru the retail store . . . saw all the new gadgets . . . probably never again . . . May God bless, Dwight
  25. I'm seeing a lot of guys now buying the plastic fantastic holsters . . . come with a pack of different carry options . . . for everything except a sawed off double barrel . . . May God bless, Dwight
