  1. I've been hand cutting my slots using a 1/4" hole punch, then using an awl to scribe a line between the sides of the two holes to form the slot. Then, with a sharp chisel, I cut along the lines. Again, use a SHARP chisel! They come out looking as good as any punch I've ever seen and I can make the slots any height or width needed.
  2. As mentioned above, some of us like to make our own. This happens to be my favorite holster for my Shield 9.
  3. Haha! That was the step that scared me most! After I airbrushed the rest of the piece the letters didn't stand out and it just didn't look right. So I used a very thin paint brush dipped in dye and hand painted each edge. I probably went over it three passes each letter? With every brush stroke I was certain I was going to slip and ruin the whole piece!
  4. I made this guitar strap for a friend who owns Dreadnought Brewing here in Washington as a "see if I still like leatherwork" project. Turns out I still do! Comments and critiques are more than welcome as I'll be looking for ways to improve! Thanks in advance.
