Thank you very much for your help.
One of the biggest things I find difficult is the setting up of my leather projects and the spacing for the slots had me thinking a fair bit.
I bit the bullet and just went a little bit more on the spacing than the .357 loop slots. Anyway pics attached.
Would really like some of those Schofield and Ruger Vaquero ones, unfortunately due to Australian import laws it would be a major PITA to get them into the country
Hi All
Just wondering if anyone has a spacing distance for marking the slot holes for the leather loops in a leather loading strip for 45LC. I have made 2 for .357 magnum but the diameter of the .45LC is much larger so the spacing will be bigger.i will loop leather through the individual sides then stitch between the loops,then glue a welt between the two side and stitch the whole thing together.
Any help would be great.
Regards
That is a really good looking piece of work. I have a basket weave stamping addiction and have been trying to use it with other larger stamps and or lettering and it's really hard to line up. Ruler and a soft lead pencil before casing the leather works for me (sometimes).
Hahaha yeah will get round to it stitching it Rokoboy.
Can skive and cut with it.But my skiving skills aren't that good.it was cheap and I bought it along with some kitchen knives from a lovely 74 year old lady in a shop that was 70 years old.
G'day All
made my first knife sheath for a leather knife I bought on a recent trip to Japan.
Just something simple to stop the knife edge cutting things on my work bench (me). I had a piece of stamped leather laying around so I glued a welt inbetween and slicked up the edges. Not stitched as shouldnt be subject to any hard wear.
