I think that looks pretty nice!

Sweet! Nice job.

I always oil after dyeing. And I always get some rub off with the usmc black.

Thanks, I believe i got this one from knifekits.com. no, haven't ever rented one out.

Very nice! Lots of mules running around on a small amount of real estate! Nice effect.

The customer wanted green. The Angelus green by itself looked like Christmas ornament green! Added a coat of fiebings lightbrown on top and this is the result. I like it. Hermann Oak 8/9 277 bonded nylon top and bottom (chestnut) Cobra class 3 Angelus green stain and fiebings light brown, fiebings dark brown for the front piece 50/50 resolene and water 1st, with 100% resolene 2nd

Welcome! I'm in Sequim. Used to live on that side of the sound..

I have just about all of them.. I use the 12 oz for copper rivets. It's not a 16d nail....

Yeah, they tend to loosen up after use.

Welcome! Glad to have you.

Very nice.

I have the same situation with my golf course. I repaired a couple of golf cart doors, then they wanted all 72 doors modified. I did it, but wasn't really my ball park.

Thanks guys. I looked up "flag etiquette " and it states the field of stars to the left. But when the Navy boats zoom past me in the Straight of Juan de Fuca they are exactly how it looks on the holster. It was nice to do a holster for the kid. Being a freebie, I could take some artistic license.

I'm aware the stars should be on the left, but it just didn't look right.

My son got this Sig, one of the Legion series in 45acp. Wanted to do something different than lightbrown on dark brown. Tried many variations of the flag and decided that less is best. But, now I have a lot of paints... Hermann Oak 8/9 277 bonded nylon top and bottom Cobra class 3 Angelus navy blue stain and fiebings light brown 50/50 resolene and water 1st, with 100% resolene 2nd

That is just outstanding. Very nice work.

Leatherstampmaker.com did mine. Cost is by the square inch, brass, very good quality. I also had 2 made for local golf courses i make custom logo'd stuff for. Not sure of the price now, but i remember a poker chip sized logo being around $100. The detail is amazing. I believe they are a sponser here as well.

Very nice Walter! I think I have that book.

Welcome! Look forward to seeing your work.

Very nice

I had this happen a lot when I first started. Almost always caught on something... Changing thread should not have that big an effect.

Nice job! I've done a few thick welts. Always a challenge, but dang they look nice.

Going to stick my neck out here. Maybe not striker fired, but you get the point. I have made several holsters for striker fired weapons, my own included. You can make a holster that has very good trigger protection and retention. Some say a reinforcing piece is not needed. I agree, but I like them to add a bit of rigidity and a place for tooling and contrast. I also would add, it would be very difficult for this to cause an inadvertent trigger pull. I get most of my retention from the trigger guard on the back of the holster and a bit from the ejection port. The guns literally click when they seat. Add the tension of the belt and wearing the holster, you have to "mean it" when you want to draw the weapon. As far as "boiled leather", I think of Roman leather armor. Might have been a thing, but my wet molded holsters are very rigid and hard. Hope this helps.

Well done!

I use an Arrow P35 with 3/8" staples. 2 staples work well.
