Hags

I can change them up. Going for groups of 30, have until the middle of April to finish. But yes, lots of the same thing.

Nice work!

It is, Ol' Crabby. Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim Washington

I am retired andwork at a local golf course doing odds and ends, club repair, golf cart door repair etc. Pays a little money and a lot of free golf. A while back I gave our golf pro a set of coasters for his new office. I've done ball markers for them in the past so I have the logo they paid for to do those for them. A bit later, he asked what I could do more of the coasters for. Seems he got a lot of remarks about them. I looked at it and gave him a price thinking I might do a dozen or so for the pro shop. He wants 340 for a golf tournament in April. Glad I've got some time and didn't go cheap. Cudos to theleatherguy.com for having this many in stock and heavy leather, very pleased with the quality. Gotta get back to work! I'll postmore pics after they are finished. Don't overlook gifting as a possible seque to future business.

Not bad, the more you do the better you become. Also, sharpen that awl! I thought mine was okay then saw a post about sharpening them. When I took a good look at mine it was really rough. I went through a very good sharpening and stropping and it now glides in and out, very little pushing. Really helps with straight holes and on hard leather. Strop it like your knife. You'll be surprised.

7.5 inches. I thought the same thing about a cobra class 3 and 4. Bought the class 3. Every time I do a large revolver I wish I had spent the extra money.

Very nice Chuck. I did a pair for the young couple across the street last summer. Nice to do something g li,e this from time to time.

Good find. I'll have to go to our local supply and see if they have anything similar.

Pretty cool! Want to make one for myself.

Welcome! Can't wait to see the seats.

Welcome. Lots of possibilities.

I use a heavy paper clip through the buckle end hole and hang it to dry in the work area.

Looking good!

I've done several glocks, 1911s, etc with the lower rail. Heck, my Springfield has one and that holster is worn a lot, and shows little signs of wear. When I wet mold them, I move them in and out several times. It loosens them up around the lower rail (I hope that's what you are talking about) and I see no signs of significant abrasion. I get most of my retention from the trigger guard, ejection port, and sweat guard.

Very nice!

I want to get some of their braided and try that as well.

Welcome!

You can get the same stuff in the US and save some shipping I think. Check Maverick leather, they have Horween horse butts. Sounds very similar.

Ditto the 277. It's what I use in my cobra.

Very nice! Good to see another leatherhead from the PNW!

I use a cobra class 3, arthritis. I use 277 bonded nylon top and bottom. You can use a smaller thread. Look at Maine thread company, they have many sizes of thread.

Pretty slick!

Use a smaller drill bit, then run the awl though. Or, run a groove or line on the back and watch where the awl is coming out. As long as you don't pierce the leather, you can adjust. Then wet it and hammer it down. That shrinks the holes a bit as well. I tend to make my holsters a bit wider between the slots. It feels more comfortable for me as it spreads the load. I don't skive the back of the loops, but do use a 1/4" x 1 1/2" (large paint stick)with rounded edges to slide in during the later part of wet molding to arc the holster and pull the ends down and in. Hope this helps, everyone is a bit different.

Dress belt, gun belt, every day wear belt? All considerations in size of thread ect. I've been using Maine thread for quite a while and have been very happy with them. I don't do alot of hand stitching any more, but they now have a braided thread that I believe would hold up better for the length of thread you are going to need. All of the twisted thread I used started to unravel on longer lengths. Good luck.

That's just a great looking bag! What do you say Chuck, I could pick you up and we could be there for the event!
