Bayou Bengal

Donated to my local Sheriff’s Office. They give out door prizes and such for their Christmas party. This was to be given to the Deputy of the Year. It went to an investigator, and a quality guy. The coin was glued and then stitched into place. Holster and mag pouch are 7/8 veg tan. Straps are 5/6 oz. Fiebings pro oil black with blue stitching. This was one of my favorite rigs to have had the pleasure of working on.

I have a Tandy pattern that says you can take it to a print shop. But they advise to print it in 44x28, which is freaking huge.

I get good deals from threadexhange.com

Maybe a buscadero belt?

Thank you, Dwight For the single action, I do too. But she wanted to get him both. But I get so many inquiries and requests for the tri-weave. I guess it’s just different from what a lot of people are used to seeing. At least from what they see in the stores around here.

Customer wanted to get her husband a carry holster and cowboy rig for his Heritage .22 short barrel. Gave me a chance to work on carving. And everyone loves the tie-weave. The dye is Fiebing’s Pro Dye Walnut with a coat of neats and finished with resolene/water mixture. The belt is 2” wide with 1.5” billets, nickel hardware. I wanted to tool a border and the front strap, but she didn’t want it.

That be the one

No, I made one like this a couple of years ago for the same customer using a modified @JLSleather pattern. So I was able to recreate it this time for a 2” belt.

That looks clean

Just to kind of jump on with this, if you’re gonna do ANY type of wheelin’, I’d invest in a good tool kit. Good jack, some wrenches, extra oil and lubricants, and some beer

I’d be weary of nerf bars and think about maybe selling those for some sliders. Nerf bars get bent up so easy. Lockers would definitely be my next get, though.

Much appreciated.

Man, that’s nice.

Glock 42 and 43 are still my biggest sellers.

Found this. I hope it helps a little http://www.sieck.de/en/machines/skiving/for-shoe-uppers/details/5678/

I tend to make mine of 2 layers of 6/7oz laminated and sewn. That’s where I’ve found to be the sweet spot.

I didn’t have a good experience. I scrapped them in favor of snaps. The problem I had was that if you use metal to try to secure them, it seems to affect the bonding strength.

I prefer heel bar buckles.

Fantastic work

If those are the neodymium magnets, I had some issues with them while experimenting with a small case a while back. They’re strong as hell, but if you don’t put them together just right, they’ll give you fits. I think it looks great.

Didn’t get a chance to take many pics before I sent it out, but it’s a 2” ranger belt with 1.5” billets. Double magazine pouch and a crossdraw for a railed 1911. Walnut is now my favorite brown.

This is a good point. It’s why I started buying locally. Now, anytime I make a purchase at buckleguy or somewhere online, I just throw in a couple packs of screws, since I am paying for shipping anyway.

Lowe’s and Home Depot usually have them for a ridiculous price. ACE has the tee nuts and Chicago screws for a good price. But dont call them Chicago screws, or they’ll look at you like you called their mama a name. They call them “posts with screws”. But for the price, you get a good deal usually.

you have set the bar
