We all started out not knowing how to sew 1st step, sit in front of the machine and turn it on the rest will follow -
I was asked by another reloaded WHY? Hdd rd said he saw no reason to have bling bling brass, that his dull brass was good enough my answer turned him into a wet tumbletiu Yes, You are 200% correct that dull brass tumbled in lizard litter or corn cob is clean enough and the primer pockets are also clean. My eyes are not what they were when I was younger and the price of new brass cases is high. I am not trying to compete with the bling bling crowd but a am competing with leaves on the ground My bling bling stands out, I can seee them and pick them up. Dry media tumbled gets lost and that costs me money56F760F3-44E1-49F1-9866-52C8D867AED0.webp F7ABDFA5-9739-4300-82DE-E5631227ECD4.webp

I have when in a pinch made molds using wood. If you are skillfully with a jig saw and a sander you can make a mold in a coupe of hours find an image online of the firearm and make sure the scale is correct cut and paste onto the wood and cut out

I make the front of the holster 3/8” larger than the Back section sew them together wet the front section and not the back shove a mold into the holster and vacuum seal it. this, for me, leaves the back flat and only the front is molded little tip/trick place the holster on a 2x4 before vacuuming

I stole that line fro an engineer in Texas the plan called for a floor sink to be installed at a location that had a 4’x2’section of duct work in the way I issued an RFI. And waited for an answer engineers answer was to forcefully with great care manipulate the top of the duct work to accommodate the p-trap (IE. Beat it) This work was taking place in a university kitchen that was in operation. I came down my ladder stole a stainless steel mixing bowl cut round hole in the duck and set the bowl in it with the p-trap nestled in the bowl like a baby bird The salad chef looked for his mixing bowl for an hour before he gave up side note, shout out to a plasma cutter called Drag-un awesome awesome tool

I have a few different types of snap setters i have the one shown on your photo All of them are a pain to use , I bought a box of snaps in the sewing section of a big box they came with a short stubby set tool I have found that this little tool works better than any other I have It folds the metal over correctly and the snap does not have to be beaten with a hammer to close added bonus use this tool to set large snaps where the leather is not thick enough
