  1. Welcome from western Washington!
  2. Some details would be nice. Maybe even some pics we could se the rig?
  3. Very nice.
  4. I really like this!
  5. Welcome Isaac! Lots to learn here.
  6. Yep, have a die made. Or, have the fobs made.
  7. I buy from Goliger leather in California. Dont know about cheap though. I have learned that cheap is, well, cheap. Hermann Oak is reliable and consistent. I buy the sides. I've been benn doing this a while though. And saying that, I had a piece of 4/5 tandy veg tan I bought cheap that hung around my bench for a couple of years before I threw it out. Maverick leather and Montana leather have veg tan that's better than tandy and will sell it by the square foot.
  8. Pretty neat! Definitely a step up from the quickies I did to organize my tooling desk drawer.
  9. Very nice. My wife suffers from the quilting affliction as well.
  10. Welcome from Washington state! Lots of good info here!
  11. I had a busy week! Bible cover and knife sheath for one customer. A pancake for a Ruger P9, and a chest rig for a Ruger Vaquero. Both holsters are Hermann Oak 8/9, straps are HO 5/6. 277 bonded nylon top and bottom, Fiebings pro dye light and dark brown with Resolene and water 50/50. I used to get 7/8 oz for my holsters, but it became more 7 than 8. 7 is ok, but went up a weight, better now. See my earlier post for the knife sheath. This dark brown/ light brown combo has gotten very popular.
  12. Did a bible cover this week. Hermann Oak 5/6oz, 207 bonded nylon top and bottom, Fiebings dark brown pro dye, Resolene and water 50/50.
  13. Hello!, and welcome from the Olympic peninsula in Washington state! I've learned a lot here.
  14. I was told early on that the smooth side goes against the most wear. I still struggle with that occasionally. I have the dome tool as well and like the look. Either, or I guess.
  15. I was asked to make a sheath for this very large Schrade 171UH. 8oz Hermann Oak Dark brown fiebings pro dye 277 bonded nylon top and bottom.
  16. I use pretty much Hermann Oak veg tan in 8/9 oz. Can't tell you much about bridle leather. I believe I paid a little over $11 sq ft, with avg 25 sqft per side. They're in Cali, I'm in Washington state, I believe it was about $20 for shipping.
  17. Very nice job! I started wanting to make bags and such, and made a few. But this is very nice for an early project. She will love it! I have gravitated to holsters and such but still hope to make a few bags.. get on the mailing list for Maverick leather, Montana leather, and any others you can think of. They run end of the year sales and often have free shipping! You can get a great deal on good leather.
  18. Those are very nice indeed! I'm working on a set myself to go with a new belt, holster, and double mag pouch for practical pistol shoots. The clips are called round trigger snaps at Springfield leather. I thought they were going to have elastic for the back too, but haven't looked.
  19. If you look back on my posts, I put up a pic with all the parts laid out on a grid board so you could see the dimensions. Other than that, it's just a pancake with attachment points instead of belt loops. If you want more info, PM me and I can give you more.
  20. Nice work. My dad died almost 2 years ago. I brought home the 4" speed 6 in 357 mag I gave him in 1985. I think he still had the same bullets I gave him. I made a chest rig for it for fishing and hiking.
  21. Very nice!
