Thanks Carl Ray

Thanks Art, I appreciate it. I have tons to learn but really enjoy it. Ray <br /><br /><br />

Thanks for your comments. It's a CW9 and I think you're right about closing the bottom up. I'm going to do a similiar one for a HK P 2000 that I'll leave open and then a couple of belts.<br /><br />Ray<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />

Hello, Here's my third holster and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, Ray

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your looking and advice. I guess I was worried about it being too tight for the gun so I added a little extra as well as needing to do a better trace of it next time. Randy, I had tried using daubers on the first holster which is Russett and to get an even color I had to keep coating until it was the same color as the liquid dye but that's not what I wanted so on the tan I bought a baking pan and dipped it in Fiebings Leather Dye that I diluted to a 50/50 mix. I dipped it for a few seconds flipped it and removed it and then dipped again after a couple minutes. Shorts, The belt loops are loose and maybe too wide as well and I need to stay much closer to the measurements. Thanks much, as the goal is to learn and improve the results, I do appreciate your taking the time. Ray

Hello Eveyone, I wanted to post the two holsters I've done and would appreciate any positive or negative input. The first one is for a Kahr CW9 and was made with some 10 oz leather I had and wanted to try my hand at leatherwork. The second is for a HK P2000 and done with 7 to 8 oz leather and dyed British Tan and then hand stitched with natural linen. Thanks for looking and I appreciate you observations, Ray

I was looking for a source of a manual or link on the 30-70 Adler patch machine. Any help would be appreciated! I got one today and don't have any information on it. Thanks, Ray
