Thanks Dwight. That is going to be the way to go I think. -

Welcome from Florida. I have Lived in Bury St. Edmunds, Wethderden and Drinkstone all in Suffolk. Loved my time there. I have good memories of "The Nutshell" the smallest pub in England.

Thanks for the answers. That was about what I expected. Off to ace hardware to see what the biggest hole punch they have is.

Just a quick question. I am getting ready to make a stacked leather handle for a knife. What thickness would be a good leather to use?
-
Does any know where I can find a S&W SD 9 blue gun. Or have dimensions of one so I could make a wooden model to finish a holster for a neighbor?

Just a quick question is there a welt in the sheath? -
Other than just a lot of practice what is the easiest way to get good clean cuts on leather? Mine always seems to get "Wavey".

What max thickness will a 227R sew

I am making a holster for the Smith, and have a dummy for the 320. I was hoping to use it for my mold. Thanks pastor Bob. I really do appreciate that.

Does any one know how close in size a S&W SD9 is to a Sig 320?

Trying to make a wrangler/rough rider holster.

I suggest getting the Al Stohlman book. The patterns are great, and the book has a lot of great tips. I am working on one now -
Actually I was planning on driving to pick it up in Toledo. I was planning on visiting my sister in far Northern Alabama and figured that was probably about 1/2 way and I would stay there both up and back. I am in east central Florida. I haven't seen my sister since the COVID crap started, and thought it would be a good chance to visit. I am leaning more and more toward the cowboy machine.

Probably around March of 2023 I am going to be buying a new sewing machine. I have it narrowed down to either a cowboy 4500, or a techsew 5100 SE. Looking for opinions for each. Any help would be appreciated. I am currently sewing on a Techsew 3650 HD I bought used, and got a really good deal on. I am leaning towards the cowboy since I live in Florida, I could drive to pick up the machine in my pick up truck. Sew mostly holsters and knife sheathes, most are too thick for my 3650.

I Have a Techsew 3650 HD that is working pretty well, bit I am having a problem with the attached bobbin winder. It winds fine, but the thread will not go onto the bobbin in the back and forth pattern. I have to manually move the thread, so the bobbin never fills evenly. I have tried moving the arm up and down, but no help. Any other suggestions?
