  1. Throw in a lock stitch 4 holes before the end I use a lock stitch I. Long runs. Any stitch line that is over 4” on my work gets a lock stitch simple to do, back up a hole then continue on if you use a lock stitch just before the end every stitch behind it will stay tight. After your lock stitch sew to the last hole stick your needle threw the top layer and out in between layers of leather tie, cut, singe, poke out of site

    Wow, thanks, that is kinda freaky looking
  3. I hear you, I do not wear a suit and it does not get cold enough for a jacket full time so I am usually wearing a t shirt only this type of rig would not be for me either
  4. Few weeks ago I had a long talk with a 30 year detective of the homocide division he was looking for a shoulder rig Thus is what he wanted one strap over my shoulder that connects to the holster. No side straps or straps to the belt i looked at him like he was crazy, but decide to..”hide and watch” my question was simple, what keeps the holster in place when you draw? And what keeps the strap from falling off he grinned holster goes under your shirt on top of your t shirt, with a ( suit) jacket over that ok says I, what about the draw? again he grinned draw with your right hand while you squeeze the holster with your left arm wha? damned if it ain’t so, it works one horse shoe shaped strap. With 2 Chicago screws to the holster is comfortable, no Pinching side straps excuse the messy bench, I was not expecting company. Lol
  5. Nice job, nice looking leather also
  6. Imma going to post in a thread that has layer dormant for 9 years. Lol very much doubt anyone reads this I have concocked a handle for a whip that is a braided handle ingredients 6” -1/2” pvc pipe 1” pvc cap 1x 1/2” fitting reducer 3/4x1/2” fitting reducer 3/4” coupling drill a 1/2” hole in the center of the 1” cap drill a second hole in the cap 1/4” hole on the edge of the cap next to the 1/2” hole determine the number of strands laid side by side that will cover the cap example. Circumference equals 3” your lace is 1/4” wide you would need 12 lengths 12” long Tie the 12 strands together shove the strands up and out the cap insert a 4’ strand in the second hole Still with me? lol. Take the long strand and lace over under over under over etc. in a circle pattern stop when you get to the edge of the cap use a hose clamp to secure at the edge tighten and make your transition from cap to pipe. Use the hose clamp to help hold things tight and in place continue weaving down the pipe

    Basket weave

    Here is my first attempt at a whole purse I did a strip down the center and left the edge as is. Baby steps i learned a lot, main thing is do not start on one end and work front to back, but start in the middle and work to the edge at the same time.
  8. I get this type from Springfield leather
  9. Does anyone have a pattern that will fit a gp100, With a 6” barrel?

To two tool rolls heavy duty, 9 oz veg tan this is not finished but I figured why show it anyway

  16. No, but plastic replica will work just fine blue guns in my opinion are way over priced and i for one refuse to pay for them i buy replicas of the gun to be molded for $8.00 usd instead of $65.00
