    I'm not familiar with this dremel bit. Is it the diamond cylindrical bit? Thanks for the info

    These look geeat. Im wanting to do the same. I recently took a class with Rocky Minster on his arizona/porter style carving. He used to work at porters before they shut down and has some tools that are hard to come by. The bevelers are slightly different than what's available today and the camouflage is very different. I can figure out the shaders and bevelers I think, but getting the cam shape right is going to be tricky. As for adding lines and checkering I'm somewhat at a loss. I'm not sure if needle files or a checkering file would be best. It's hard to tell from these photos but the cam shape has domed and has the shoulders below the face of the tool. Replicating it seems tricky to me haha

    I'm in the same boat haha. I'd love a machine, but you really need 2. And I don't do production work and can't warrent nor afford the expense. Nonetheless that's a good looking roll.

    @chuck123wapati thank you, the keychain is about 2.5 inches wide, so the tooling is about 1.5 inches square or so. I do a lot of little trading cards that are about credit card size. It's a challenge finding things to fit on something like that haha.. @Samalan thank you, it was fun to do

    @Vilesthanks, it does albeit not the best stitching on the underside. My awl controll isn't the best. I'm out of practice haha

    It is very fun. Those resources should get you off to a good start

    Thanks @Dwight, I agree it would be cumbersome. This is what was asked for. It also has a toe plug that I'm a tad embarrassed by but is functional haha. It was my first toe plug and flap holster and I'm pretty happy with it
  12. Stetson912
    This was one I remember. The principals will get you close I think

    Go look on YouTube for Sam Andrew's. He has a few holster making videos that may help make a pattern. Also JLS leather website has some pattern making pdfs that are good. And if you look on this forum there was one or 2 pinned tutorials on holster making that were very good also

    I made this holster for my uncle. He carries a pistol that resembles an 1851 navy but is kind of an odd duck. It's a different caliber and has longer barrel than the original navy. Anyhow, he wanted a flap holster, and never have making one before I decided why not. I made it based off examples in Packing Iron. Thanks for checking it out

    Always nice work

    Thank you kindly, I hope it is received well and my intentions are understood. These are the types of projects most worth doing for me and they seldom come across so I try and do them when they present themselves.

    Here's a portrait of my best friends mom. She passed from cancer a few years ago and I thought he might like this for his birthday this week.

    Annie libertini has a great portrait carving series at elktracks studio. Its a little pricy for all 5 but, it is worth it in my opinion. Just a thought for you. Thanks for the kind words
  20. Stetson912

  21. Stetson912

    Hey everyone, I've posted the carving in the figure carving area. This is the completed colored portrait. It is of my grandparents and will be sent to my dad for Christmas. Anywho, im always open to critique and I hope you enjoy it.

    Looks like solid work. I commend your stitching, for only doing this for 7 months its great. That is a tough aspect of leathercraft
