    be sure you make it so you can throw the tote and keep the pistol. Make the pocket on the outside and to the body for what ever hand your customer needs. My daughter bought a cc purse but had no idea how they work. She had no idea that they are made so you can throw the purse or hand it over to distract while pulling the iron. And as said really good straps.

    i have a belt that was made longer by slicing the one piece down the center about two inches and skived to 0 then skiving the other piece on both sides again to 0 to create a tapered tongue. the tongue was glued inside the split and sewn.

    i think your stitch line is pretty good, if you straighten the edge it will be less noticeable but you see more of the mistakes that others wont notice.
  9. chuck123wapati
    cant you glue it, form it , then punch the stitch lines?

    you might try some cactus juice stabilizing resin, I've never tried it on skin or hide but it sure works on wood. If it does work all your problems are solved that's some tuff stuff. i've made a few sets of grips for the 1911 and my advise try and keep them close to original thickness meaning you may have to sand down the wood to allow for the thickness of whatever skin you use. its weird but the hand can feel the extra few mils. i may try some on leather when i get home again.

    i glued it to the outer piece of the sheath then glued and sewed on the border through everything, i think the next one i will run the border piece all the way around the belt loops also.
  18. chuck123wapati
    yes it could i was thinking snake skin though and there aint much to skive or even be a problem lol. but again I don't know if snake could take the wear and i know nothing about the thickness of the other options.
  19. chuck123wapati
    interesting project, he has some nice grips alright, i would roll the skin edge under and maybe cut/ router a slight channel into the underside of the wood to hold the roll and allow the wood to still tighten down to the frame.

    thank you it got me work for two holsters and a knife and sheath so far at elk camp.
  21. chuck123wapati
    i watch the marshal almost every day i just noticed his belt loops the other day, they used two rivets on each end. Gotta love the holsters shown on the series not to mention the surprise actors that came on. there was a really cool one on the other day a double rig and the holsters were put on smaller curved straps that hung down from the main belt if i remember they were hung by rings. Wish i could remember the episode.
  22. chuck123wapati
    wouldn't it be the diameter of the case plus the leather thickness x2 at the least, you could probably make them wider if wanted.
  23. chuck123wapati
    lol yea i hate my brain sometimes it coulda been dreaming of hunting, fishing or just about anything else in the world instead of thinking. try it on a piece of lace if you can.
  24. chuck123wapati
    those are awesome. homemade tools created this craft and are as much a part of its history as any other. If you have a drill press you could make your handles by inserting a straight rod first then chucking it up and turning/shaping the wood with files.

    wow really nice! almost to nice to set on lol.
