Well, to be honest, I plan to make stacked handle mostly from natural color, while using a few black pieces by the end of the handle in between to add the contrast. But I find it difficulty to burnish it because of the shape, as it's not a good shape for wooden slicker tho. @chuck123wapati: thank you for tips!

Are you interested in shipping overseas? (Europe)

@PastorBob and @chuck123wapati: thank you, both of you! And just a question about finishing touch: what to use to finish the leather? I assume, when I glue it together, I sand it with some 240 grit sandpaper (dremmel), and then use...what? Usually I finish my edges with water + burnished, after it's dried, I just apply Fiebing's pro dye/edge kote and that's it.

it's not exactly white, it's more like yellow-transparent. Gets very tacky quick and I use it for most of my leather projects. @chuck123wapati I appriciate this info, but to be honest, I don't even know what exactly a contact cement is. In Europe, we dont use this term. The blue "MOVI Multikol" glue, I attached earlier, is super simmilar to this glue. If anything helps, tho.. https://www.kemostik.com/neostik-en/products-adhesives/universal-glues/neostik-universal-en/

First attempt was made with epoxy, which turned out pretty bad. I'm generally using this glue as for leather to glue together, should it turn out better?

Is there a leather holster (template), that is IDPA approved for Colt 1911? (and preferably IPSC aswell, but can be 2 different designs)

yeah, but I was just looking for a bluegun, to make it easier. @frodo: the BB gun won't save me any money on this @gatogordo: I saw that, but I'm not sure, how accurate are they. You got any of them printed and tested? (any gun, no need for 1911 in particular)

I think it's bracelet. But no matter the leather beneath the edge, I still think it's some sort of wax/rubber that you somehow "install" to the edge.

Customer wanted me to do some specific edges, as I got this photo for reference. Ever since I used to burnish edges with wooden slicker + water, later on I added pro dye or edge kote, depends what I had at home. But these edges seems to look completely different, anyone got any idea on how to achieve them? Would be really helpful.

1 week ago exactly at this hour I missed my veins for an inch.

Actually, I'm not working often with this kind of leather, but I also discovered what's best to cut with (so far): fresh new blade from the box. Cuts like a butter, is working for me just perfect tho.

ah, so many words for cow in english :D And yeah, I noticed, I had to cut straps using ruler and stanley knife, it's impossible to use anything else. But still, the leather is a blessing, it's really good one. Did the hot water thing on it, showed no special movement at all, so I don't think its veg. tanned.

Okay, this is very accurate answer of what I was actually looking for Thank you. Yeah, I know about single and double stacked mags, they are popular in IDPA/IPSC. Great, now I know what I need for holsters :D

What's a bovine? and what exactly is milled grain? What's the boil test? Well..that's exactly what I did, but they told me "yeah, we just took this hide at one of the sellers, we don't know which one, nor which exact type of leather this is". I think he said it's veg tan, but not so sure anymore.

I got whole hide of this leather into my hands at the local leather shop, but just after 2 projects I ran out of it. It's a really good one to work with, despite it looks bloddy amazing and comfortable to wear/bend. It's 2.5mm thick (about 6 oz.). Anyone knows, what type of leather this would be? Any help appriciated.

I got an order to make a leather handle for a smaller dagger, but not sure how to do it. I already tried once, but was unsuccessful. I cut out leather circles 40mm (1 1/2"), made a hole in the middle and stacked them together not being shy with epoxy, and squeezed with the end nut. Later on I used dremmel and sandpaper to shape it and used fine grit sandpaper (P240 i think) and used resolene afterwards. The result was so poor, I didn't even took the picture, before I cut it off. Anyone got any better ideas on how to do leather handle as such? Pics for attention. And to show what I got.

Got spare daubers, didn't use any for years, since I keep buying pre-died leather already. If anyone still dyes and needs em, i'd be happy to ship them over. Stored in a dry and clean zip bag. I'm looking for 25€ for all the daubers. Shipping is 10€ flat, worldwide.

Looking for blue guns (doesn't matter the material tho) for Glock 17 and Colt 1911. Located in central Europe.

1911, yes. I know about the barrel size, but im concerned about the guard. But I hope it's gonna be okay aswell.

Can be same mold used for Colt 1911 and Paraordnance? The gun is actually a copy, but idk about the molds.

Is this the full list? Im looking for a g17 in particular.

If anyone ever made a combo sheath of any kind, I'd be like a child in candy factory to see it.

I wanna make a combo sheath for my dad, to put into the back of the car. Since axe and knife got same style handle (cheap plastic, but as much as he will need the tools, it's good), so I added a file to sharpen axe and sharpening stone for the knife. See items below, it's just what I got/how they looks like, they're not placed as final shape. Now, as far as I have made a research, there are two options: First, which I wouldn't like to give it a go, is a full axe sheath, where on one side is attached knife (and the file on the other, in my case), but I don't really like this one as it's kinda "bunky". Shown here: Now, the other option, which I'm more and more into, is larger sheet of leather, where all the items are attached from the same side, as I can leave back side for straps or loops/hooks for attaching in the car. Like the one on photo below. Is there any other option or has anyone ever done anything simmilar and have any guidelines for it?

Yeah, I've seen this one, but it's just a simple regular bag that I'm not even sure, if I can put it on my belt and balls won't just spill if I bend over or something.

Well, purpose is different, but the design remains same: I'd like to make an ammo pouch for slingshot bullets but the design I'd like to keep as from American Civil War lead balls. My slingshot ammo are actually balls from bearings dimensions either 3/8" or 1/2" (10-12mm). Has anyone ever done something as such and maybe have a pattern for it? (just a thought: if this ammo pouch would have somekind of attachmend to hold slingshot aswell, it would be more than perfect)
