    No need to get fancy. Go to Harbor Freight. They have a few different sizes.

    Looks good!

    You definitely don't need to sand before you dye. And can burnish with the dye still wet and get a nice edge.

    The leather is very floppy now but when you glue the pockets to the body should be fine. Also if dyeing the leather it will stiffen a bit too. I use 2/3 for pockets and body on a roper style. Worked fine.

    Countertop places have cutouts for sinks for little to nothing. At Habitat for Humanity they usually have them too. Got a 12X18 for $2.00.

    Yep it's all to track our habits and wants and needs to sell us more. Sometime my wife and I think our phones and TV are spying on us. We will talk about something and Bam! there it is on our "home" page of something. But that's the way things are now. Nobody has anything anymore. I go to Home Depot to get something and they're all like oh we don't have it in store. We can order it for you. Well I can also order it but I wanted it now! And people complain about small shops closing. Same thing they will order it for you too.

    Many places on line. Google Ring's, mold guns, training guns.

    Top is oxblood bottom 2 are Mahagony. Definitely practice and experiment.

    Nigel Armitage has slickers made for him too. 2 different styles round grooves and flat grooves. His are also bigger than the standard ones. I think a bigger one would be more comfortable in the hand also. From what I can tell there is no wrong slicker if it works for you.lol Good idea to make the grooves the size you use most. That's the problem with most "one size fits most" they end up not. So done babbling now.... They look good to me and I would buy one if I came across it.lol

    Oxblood ends up pink for me. I would look at Mahagony to get closer to the color you're looking for. Get the Fiebings pro dyes 4.oz bottle $5. And run some tests and practice. IMO

    Can't help with a pattern but a good place to start is to find a gun of roughly the same dimension. Then look at JLS for a pattern for THAT gun. Then use his tutorial on how to make holsters. Update. With my quick checking on line you can use a G19 holster pattern. Have to "tweek" the stitch line. But that's where I'd start.

    Nice memories every time you use the wallet.

    Blue goes nicely with saddle tan..........

    My Al Stohlman how to make holsters book calls it a skirt holster. It's just a strap or "belt" sewn or riveted on. On the Eldorado rig I made it uses this style. I know even the "western" style 1911 holsters use the same proccess.

    There are plenty of long wallet patterns available on Etsy and online. Look at some YouTube videos a lot off free or cheap downloadable patterns.
  19. Mattsbagger
    Nice simple clean looking case. Color looks nice and rich.
  20. Mattsbagger
    I usually glue before/sew. On this I riveted then sewed. I hand sew don't have a machine.
  21. Mattsbagger
    Any bags I've made it would be impossible to dye afterwords. I would dye and finish first. Only finishing done after sewing is edges. IMHO YMMV. I don't do a lot of bags. But I prefer a contesting stitch color.

    Saddle horn phone holder for a iPhone 7 plus with an Otter box case. The horn hole (don't know what else to call it) got a little off center somehow. W/C 7/8 oz drum dyed skirting in Chestnut. 1mm Tiger at about 6 spi.
  23. Mattsbagger
    Nope it's natural veg tan. The phone camera kinda washed out the color.
  24. Mattsbagger
    I tried out an experiment. I used the card pocket from 1 wallet pattern and a phone sleeve pattern I made up when first started with leather. Put the card pocket on each side changed the stitch to a side load for the phone instead of from the top. Left natural with just some carnuba cream on it. Blue Tiger .8 at about 8spi. Spent about 30 seconds burnishing the edges as didn't want them glass smooth. Also pic is with a phone and the leather is about 4 shades darker in person.

    G26 and G27 are EXACT same size externally. All Glock 9mm,.40,and .357 Sig are same width. Difference is in barrel and grip length. Also the .45 and 10mm Flicks are the same size. JLS has patterns for a lot of Flicks on his web site. I use the same holster for my G27 and my G19 in some cases.
