-
Id be interested in this. Just messaged you.
-
I just bought some snaps and have gone through about 5 before one actually turned out nice enough to function... I have sourced some tensioners as well...not the same as what I have but they are close enough and look good. Also, still havent found the clips at a cheap enough price to make them worth buying. Know of any under $2 a pair??
-
I prefer metal as those tend to stay on my many different belts and also in my athletic shorts. I have had many people tell me struggles they have had with the 24 snaps. What tool seems to work the best? I have never tried my hand with them so I would like to waste as few as possible... I will look into Tandy and see what they have. Thanks! USMCLoneWolf

Hey there, Been a while since I tried my hand at the leather hobby but have been doing tons of research and testing and some of my buddies want tensioners and IWB clips or straps. I like clips myself but its hard to find them at a reasonable price...anyone source them from a reputable business or person? Any help or direction would be great!!! Thanks!! USMCLoneWolf

Hey guys, wanting to make my dad a We The People holster but I'm curious how and if there is a stencil available to put on the leather...please help!!
-
Thats a great idea!! I shall for sure draw something up!! Thanks for the input!! Semper Fi as well! USMCLoneWolf

So after hearing all your thoughts, I have decided to change my design(in my head) a bit. Seems like the only concern with people making them is with the spine and the small chance someone falls or is pushed down... what if the holster has to be offset due to design(cant angles a bit more vertical)???
-
Not trying to be rude or anything, more devils advocate, but I would like to see the lawsuits against the larger gun holster manufacturers that made and make sob holsters. I can say that i have never seen or heard of such lawsuits. Not doubting that someone has tried but certainly none have succeeded that i know of. Thanks!
-
For sure!! I have seen that occur in a couple people...but they are paying customers so I feel I must oblige... but I totally get that. Thanks!!
-
Hey Ya'll, I have had a couple friends who want s.o.b. holsters. Does anyone have a pattern I could use or any idea of how to draw one up?? Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!
-
Ya I would be super interested in that! Ill send you a message. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the advice!! Still super new to this whole leather working and really know nothing!! I really appreciate the knowledge!! I will make sure I expect that to happen again on my next few. If you had to recommend a cheap but decent quality leather, what would you suggest?? Thanks!!
-
Awesome!!! I will have to try that out! Never occured to me to do that!! Like I said...still new to this whole thing!!
-
There was no top coat or dye at all. It was natural hide. Im still learning so it was the cheap stuff from Hobby Lobby. .http://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Leather-Crafting/Leather-Pieces/Natural-Leather-Tooling-Belly/p/142072 Nothing fancy at all...

Hey yall, When I was wet molding my first official holster, i noticed that I was 'moving' the top coat of the leather and it started to wrinkle on me... How wet or dry to i have to keep the leather when molding and boning(???) the leather to form to the gun?? Are there any other trick to keep the leather from wrinkling at all?? Thanks!!!
-
Hey yall, I have been hand sewing with some artificial sinew[ first thread and needle i found for cheap] and the experimentation process has been a bugger! I cant figure out what else to use but until then, how to I start the process? I have tried tying knots in the end to keep it from pulling through but then Im left with a huge knot to deal with. If i dont tie a knot then it pulls out of the leather too easily. Any suggestions on thread to use or how to deal with the knots whilst still making a sturdy product?? Thanks!!
-
I will have to give this a whirl! I guess i never thought that the back of the snaps would sink in... never clicked that its porous like skin is so it can squish... are there any snaps to avoid bc they are a waste of time or?? Id love to do snaps just dont want crap.
-
Fer sure!! My only concern would be scratching the mags as they go in and out...not that it's a huge deal but some people like to keep their stuff neat and pretty looking... How would the back side of the snap not scratch?? Should I invest in some liner??? If so, what's the best to work with without putting too much money into it??
-
Kinda had some other help so I think I know what I want , it will just be a matter of actually doing it right... I'll post what it turns out to look like.
-
Much appreciated!!! That looks like something I can do!!! Thanks again!!!!
-
Love that idea. Being new... What are tee nuts?? I have no clue what those are and how to utilize them. How would that look I guess if you may??
-
So this is the back and I would like to create something that I can put both iwb and owb. This one I just need to fix my mistake... Forgot the belt loop.
-
For sure. No room on the ends for belt loops. And I just stitched it together. I just bought glue and cement yesterday...
-
Hey All, Brand new to leather and could use some serious help! I made a double magazine holster (very first project that I didn't scrap) but totally spaced on the belt loop on the back...dumb I know!! But that got me to thinking...How do I install a belt loop without cutting it apart and sewing one on? I was thinking of putting IWB/OWB clips on it as an alternative so I could use it both ways but could use your expertise!! Keep in mind I am BRAND NEW and hand sew still and have very limited tools.... Thanks in advance!!
