thanks it will out last the phone for sure.

heres how i get around the belt no belt problem. The back flap will stick in your waistband or even your pocket, the snap allows you to take it off or put it on without taking off your belt too. Use two layers on the flap to make it stiff.

yes sir that is really nice! I want one now.

Any person with a functioning brain cell would realize that is free and very good advertising for them. i wouldn't call that brain fart "evolving" lol.

really nice !!

nice indeed!!!

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.

Awesome bunch of info! thank you once again.

Thank you Toxo! i will do the dirty work of searching so you can get on with your work. The info you posted was enough for me to get going..

Those are really nice, looks like you have alot more to make lol.

Nice work IMO. Where did you get the steel? what type?

here is some of our fall colors, they don't last long and ended about three weeks ago, there is snow on the ground now lol. they make a beautiful desktop picture.

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.

cant you glue it, form it , then punch the stitch lines?

Darn nice job!

Good for alot of things. those are really nice looking. Cheap things do have their place unfortunately its the landfill and just more pollution in the end.

He's sayin now fetch me some warm milk.

very beautiful Ferg, we have alot of deer in our little town we feed also, but its illegal so we have to sneak it lol. Just got back from elk hunting trip, heres a bit of color from Wyoming

Thank you yea i may even go with a thicker piece on back in addition. thank you.

English bridal straps? sorry i had to laugh the term sounds kind of.......... didn't know English brides needed straps. Beautiful work friend!!!

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.

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.

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.
