I did not find the old thread, But I remember an old thread about different ways to punch holes in knife sheaths or any thick leather Here is 4 layers of 9oz veg tan. each side is 8mm thick So the total thickness is 16mm On my pattern. where the corner is that the stitching starts on both pieces when folded over. I fold the pattern over and punch a hole transfer the marks to the leather. Then set my windividers and scribe a stitch line. I use the transferred mark as the center of the starting point of my chisel. I punch the scribed line. then come back and re-punch it a little deaper. The chisel does not go all the way through but you can see a pin hole on the back side. I use an awl to finish the hole. on this holster, i sewed it with out any problems,

Me and you both. scrounge up a 2''' long piece. they are great for holding your leather down while you work That thing is PRETTY. It would make me sad to beat the heck out of it. LOL no it wouldn't Is it aluminum? I have a freebie on my porch. A chunk of rr track about 20''' long If anyone wants a 6''' piece. you come cut it and haul it away.

High Tony, Thank you for checking in and asking questions, TO ME, that means a-lot I do have a three issues, 1]...screen shot from my cart, 2- spools of thread. they would fit in a $8.00 USPS flat rate envelope or box, I left the site and bought else where. Money is tight. 2].., My last order. LOVE the $30.00 sides I grabbed 4. I also ordered a left foot stamp. I have the right foot, but the left was backordered months ago. Instead of zeroing the stamp on my order. I was sent a treble clef stamp. wth am I supposed to stamp with that? Send me a L foot. so I can have 2 feet instead of one. I am walking i circles here. help me out 3].. From the date I place an order, what does Springfield consider a decent / proper / typical amount of time till the order ships? All in all. Your friendly staff and the customer service is the best I have encountered

You were told correct a 50/50 mixture pour into glass jar make sure the skin is 100% covered store it out of direct sunlight for 7 days when you remove it, check for and odors, if odors put it back for a another day using a stick, roll the hide onto the stick with the head first, pull the hide / stretch it as you are rolling it up then set it aside to dry
