wow...... I have plans to make a scabbard for my uncle but here I am trying to put my cajones on the line by buying a piece of leather that will be big enough for the job, not to mention the time it will take and all the screw ups I'll probably make on said leather within said time!

I made a cell phone case holster and used a 1x4 (close enough fit) to stretch the shape out but I first filled the pocket with water and let it soak for a few minutes (amazing to see it hold water without leaking!), poured it out and used the 1x4 and let it sit over night. Worked great (although my measurements were still a bit off and was still a bit too tight for my phone unless I completely took off my rubber protective case which I wasn't willing to do. Looked too funky chunky anyways so it's still sitting on my bench. I'm using it as inspiration to help me think of a better idea for the next go around. I did find this on the google that is maybe what you're wanting to do?

Welcoming to the club from another fellow Texan!

what a cool gift. And man, those details came right out! excellent job!

cool sheath and design. I like your video too

Wow, should've seen my first "wallet" ! Just keep going and practicing! And remember to have fun!

Looks more classy than a paper clip!

on another side note, the CZ is one fine under rated firearm. A buddy had the Shadow and it was really sweet; heavy and solid but boy it was fun to shoot.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I wished I lived closer. It may be a bigger pain in the butt to do so, but pictures will help you. Lots of folks on here maybe could help you with some of the pricing but again, pictures. Good luck

Looked like a fun project. I have two cobblers hammers I found from an estate sale. These have larger diameter surfaces though. But not as pretty as yours.

Looks great.

Looks very nice.. I like the two tone and stitching. The button clasp, too. I made like the one above with the "Chuck Dorsett" look, but with the belt loops it looks way too chonky so I don't wear it. It' mainly a 'show and tell' piece on my work bench for when friends visit me.

yea, very cool. Did you use Angelus paints?

What a cool idea. The creativity never ceases to amaze me on this forum.

@JLSleather thank you for your sage advice.

I like this idea, just don't really know anyone who is into leather crafting in my area. I think there is a guy down in Texas City that makes holsters, though. Thanks for the idea. But may i ask, when ordering in bulk hides, do they all have to be the same weights? I really don't know but another good idea. I'll have to check the yellow pages, er, internet.

Thanks @Northmount I got a reply from Techsew .

I wished I knew a few guys in my area that would be willing to go in on something like that....

Wow great color combos right down to the thread. The craftsmanship is strong with this one!!!

Thanks for sharing that picture. I only have Tandy stores near me and the wrinkle look is all they seem to have so I thought that was normal.

Man, you have a boss workshop!

Looks great for your first wallet, though

Not to mention the inevitable price increases.....
