Hello, I wanted to share a custom embossing plate I had made in case there were any other folks interested in it. I have been using some embossing plates made from resin with the U.S. design on them that have been nice but did not hold up to repeated use on my 8 ton clicker. I finally decided to look form someone that made one from metal or could work with me to design one. I contacted "Leather Stamp Maker" because they had made my makers mark and it has held up to thousands of whacks with a 16oz maul. They very quickly got proofs designed for me to look at and got it shipped out within a day of me approving the design. It measures 3" wide x 1.75" high and 1" thick. The thickness can be adjusted based on what you want for your clicker or press. I told them to hold onto the proofs because there may be others that would want one made. Thanks Matt

They hold up, I have never had a customer tell me of any popping off or falling out. I drilled out a piece of scrap wood with a hole a little larger than the line 24 snap. Lay leather face down with snap in hole and give "snap protector" a light tap with hammer to set it. They will snag on a flat surface like a cylinder face but I position the snaps near the trigger guard.

I have only found two places that sell them in large quantities, I use them all the time in the unlined and thumb break holsters I make for line 24 snaps Blue gun Store has them in clear : http://www.bluegunstore.com/snapprotectors.aspx EDC Leather has them in black : https://edcleather.com/product/nylon-thumb-break-snap-backs/

I get them from the Blue Gun store. They pop into back side of male line 24 snap to protect firearm from rubbing on metal. http://www.bluegunstore.com/snapprotectors.aspx

Thank you for the Info.

Has anyone measured the Bunkhouse Tools Vaquero and Blackhawk holster molds? I'm curious if they are based on the new models or old models. I have also recently had a question about Ruger Blackhawks in mid size and large size frames, I'm assuming they are talking about the older "flat top" Blackhawks in the smaller frame. Thanks Matt

Thank you, I was lucky to have a very patient customer. I set aside a few days a week to work on it between saddles and holsters. For the finish I used Saddle Lac, Easy to apply and holds up well on saddles. Customer can take parts of bike a easily spray them down if needed.

Im usually working on saddles and making holsters but a customer decided to give me a challenge. I have covered a few seats and made some motorcycle bags but nothing like this.
