    What weight leather are you using first off? I’d just go with the copper burr rivets and like 10oz and maybe reinforce it on the inside.

    The templates are 1/8 inch thick(just under 4mm)

    I have MAKESUPPLY templates and are very solid. I had him make some up of my own pattern too.

    Sam Andrews. The video that got me into leather work. I do sometime cut that way but I always use a straight edge and rotary cutter for straight runs.

    Look at JLSLeather and Jason Ingle for good examples of holsters.

    He has refillable edge markers work great for dye. I got some of his solution last year at Sheridan. Works great but I just mix up saddle soap in water in an olive jar and use that after I ran out.. lol

    Buy Ritza from Rocky Mountain Leather or Egyptian Leather on Etsy. It works out to .03 cents a yard. On full spools.

    Looks like the Tandy one they just started selling also.

    Tokonole is more like Gum Trag. Resoline is a water based finish. Not unlike Mop&Glo floor finish, some people use M&G instead of Resoline.

    A 5/6 Latino probably work well. It the weight of a wallet body so not to heavy.
  14. Mattsbagger
    Thanks everyone.The thread is .8 Ritza in orange. And yes a craftool backgrounder. The wallet also has a barb wire stamp border.

    A belt and long wallet for a co worker. Custom stamp ordered from Sergi Neskromski. It is amazing work. My use of it doesn’t do the stamp justice.

    Tandy has screw adapter for conchos. On holsters I use 6/32 screws and T-nuts. Idk if this helps or is what you mean.
  17. Mattsbagger
    Bump. Seems like someone could use this.lol Berretta PX 4 Storm.
  18. Mattsbagger
    You do it before you wet form it.

    I have a Ring Storm bluegun I’m not using and never have used. It has a couple of spots from black dye splashed on it. $35 and free shipping. If you have a S&W Bodyguard to trade we can talk about that too. Thanks.

  22. Mattsbagger
    It depends on personal choice. Some use say 8 or 9 stitches per inch. Lay your chisel on a ruler and see how many points fit in a inch. Gives a rough estimate of SPI. I am out of time so I don’t have access to my tools to take pics to illustrate what I am talking about. Different SPI will give the same project that is exactly the same a completely different look.

    Steel liners are used in quick draw rigs. Invented by the guy Matt Dillion kills in the opening credits of Gunsmoke. If I remember right.
  24. Mattsbagger
    Yes. I prefer glue as easier to stitch and get better edges.
  25. Mattsbagger
    Yep that cheap little roller tool from Tandy works very well.
