Shield 9 pancake
DocDaddy replied to mikesherman's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
First off don’t be so hard on yourself. I would be willing to bet most people in your town wouldn’t be able to produce a belt let alone a molded pancake holster. Looks good. One tip I would give to help with the stitching is to lay a stitching groove and pull your stitches tight as you go along. Then come back and tap the stitches flat with a cobblers hammer or mallet. Good luck. -

Slide Holster. Thank You. I use a vinyl cutting machine to create my design and then start with light coats of dye around it and use several coats around the decal. Once I am happy with it, I fade it in to the rest of the dye for the project -
Second attempt at a holster
DocDaddy replied to DocDaddy's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thank you all for the help. I knew getting involved in this forum would be good for honing my work. I am probably going to break down and buy one of the oblong punches on payday and invest in some barge and gum trag.- 15 replies

DocDaddy replied to DocDaddy's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
This explains a ton. I am using Fiebings leathercraft cement but I am not hammering it out and I am not weighting it down either. Thank you for the tip!- 15 replies

Second attempt at a holster
DocDaddy replied to DocDaddy's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
It is really more of a seam instead of a gap. Thank you for the feedback. The skull was created with the use of a custom vinyl decal cut out of some scra vinyl I had laying around. My original decal had cutouts for the nose and a ring of stars around the crown of the skull hence the splatter. I plan on creating a skull without these cutouts if I decide to do another punisher skull in the future. I wanted a really low ride on this one. The belt cutouts are the bane of my existence. I have so much trouble punching through two levels of leather. I plan on switching to an avenger style on the next one.- 15 replies

Second attempt at a holster
DocDaddy posted a topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I really like how this one turned out except for some splatter to the skull which I am actually leaving alone. What can I do to keep from getting a gap around the edge? I sand the edges down prior to burnishing but there always seems to still be a gap. Thanks.- 15 replies

Let me know what ya think? Still have to finish out the edges and mould it.
