I do not know about you guys , For me a $50.00 rubber replica of a gun to use one time for a holster is not an option. I had to wet form a holster for a femaru-Fegyver M37. Go to this site. copy / print the image http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Category:Pistol&pagefrom=Liliput+pistol I cut the image out and glued it on plywood that is the same thickness of the gun. cut it out now i have a template that did not cost but $0.50 not $50.00

no pattern. just visualised used a tape measure. lol

HI, I have been busy working. not a lot of time to be on a forum. Here is a range bag I made..The elk hide to the veg tan end panels did not turn out the way I wanted. inexperience on a sewing machine other than that I think it is OK for my first go at this kind of project 24'' x 12'' x 12'' it is lined inside with veg tan, the outside gussets are the anchor points for the inside pockets

2 pcs 8 oz veg tan sandwiched between 2 pce 3 oz elk hide and a wet form veg tan piece with elk hide lining double stitched

With some fantastic help and pattern from Dwight. I made the holster. I made the belt and cartridge holder with out a pattern. I am going to add a layer of 2oz suede on the inside of the belt. and I need 3 rivets to finish Belt is 2 layers 8oz veg tan, holster is 2 layers 8 oz veg tan cartridge holder is 2'' wide 8oz with a 1'' strap.

I used 2 dyes. antique mahogany and black [mahogany is cut by 50% rubbing alcohol] dyed the whole thing mahogany, did not touch up uneven dye areas dipped a sponge in black dye, then rubbed off half the dye, I died the edges black and the top edge black by holding the sponge on an angle so that i died the top and edge at the same time, randomly then just rubbed the body of the leather here and there.. then sealed it all with goof proof water based finish
