You sir are very good, how long have you been in the hobby? 

[Marshal Dillion rig for a shiloh]

Very nice, is it lined? Is that natural leather or dyed? Other than those questions very clean and professional.

[Glowing Leather Holster 1st attempt.]

Great artwork, where did you get the glow paint?

[Pricing leather goods]

Hello, I am having a hard time figuring out how to price my stuff, I normally take material cost and times it by three but on some recent projects where there is alot of time and detail put in on my part it feels like I am charging to little. Kinda in a pickle on what to do I don't want to gouge poeple with high prices and them not want to buy from me, in the turn about don't want to to sell my work and not make a proper profit. I make everything from start to finish by hand and think that is worth something.

Any help would be appreciated

[EMS Radio strap]

If it helps I attached a picture of my own strap and radio, this is how they connect. I used Chicago screws I prefer them for most projects, I think they are stronger and won't come undone with lock tight.thank you for the reply

[Mares leg rig]

Very unique, well done 

[EMS Radio strap]

Thanks for the feedback, yeah the white stitching does have that possibility but poeple really like it, gotta do what the customer asks. Yeah the clasps are nickel plated steel, they have to be strong when a 5 pound radio is attached to it for 24 and 48 hours at a time. They have to hold when doing some of the rough stuff we do. I really appreciate the feedback keep it coming!
