  1. Nice addition! I use an approximately 40 oz wooden maul I bought at an antique store for $10. Must be maple or something, works very well. I have lusted for a 48 oz BK for a while.
  2. Exposure sounds the best. I'll suggest that to him thanks guys.
  3. A little while ago I did a judge type gun In natural leather. The owner contacted me wishing to get it a little darker. He asked about PNO and I to,d him I would try it on a piece of scrap let him know. Well, no luck. I finish with resolene 50/50 with water and it wont touch it. Any ideas? He just wants it a shade or 2 darker, but still looking like aged leather.
  4. When doing points, don't connect the points. It causes lifting and if you do and that opens it's own can of worms. It looks like the beveler is way too wide. I'm not above making my own for projects but do have the bk smaller stamping set. That said, I aint afraid to use a grinder, sandpaper, and a strop to get the effect I want. Small rods or bolts from a hardware store and a file can give wonderful results. When making your own, round the edges slightly. And when using, tilt toward you a very little and it will help keep it smooth. It looms looks promising, keep it up. Looking forward to final pics!
  5. I had a person ask me about a holster for a sig 938. Bought a blue gun, made the wood templaoff online dimensions for the mag. No charge for the mag pouch. My experiment.The background is a piece of who knows how old piece of I think is skirting. Probably 13/14 oz. I had to lay it on the deck and put bricks on the end to hold it open and hose it down. Not good for parts, but dang that's cool texture and color.
  6. Leatherstampmaker.com. They will help you.
  7. I would say yes. But be sure you dab it on, not rub or brush. It will take the paint right off if you dont. Joe Meling has done a finishing video on YouTube a out this if you want to look it up.

    A little help

    I like the paint options. I use them here and there. I also use resolene 50/50 mix with water for my holsters. I would oil liberally at the fold and let dry before sewing and finishing to help with flexibility.

    A little help

    Not sure what the issue is. Some clarity would help. Other than that, fiebings pro dye, light or dark brown.??
  10. Just finished this holster for this pistol with mag pouch. Very nice pistol! Hermann Oak 7/8 Fiebings pro dark brown Cobra class 3 with 277 bonded nylon top and bottom Resolene and water 50/50
  11. Very well done. Still have mine from the 70's!
  12. I use the card stock paper, letter size for 90% of my holsters. It goes through the printer easily as well.
  13. Very nice and should hold up very well.
  14. Or, wrap the gun in plastic wrap and use that and jlsleather instructions on making an avenger style holster?
  15. That deformity at the belt slots is from a very heavy belt piece I made to ensure the curve of the holster whi,e drying. I might need to round those edges a bit more, but it does ensure the proper arc of the back of the holster.
