It has been over 40 years since I did any leather working. An all I did back then was a simple belts with a simple design I was in the army in Korea at the time. I am now 63 years old and have decided that I wish to make a holster and belt for a single action army colt revolver. I am in total awe of some of the work that the members of this site have done and you all give me much inspiration. I have placed an order for a pattern and have gotten a piece of 8 oz. vegetable dyed leather 2' by 2'. I've also constructed a stitching pony and ordered a minimum amount of leather working tools in order to start my project. I look forward to becoming a regular visitor to this forum.
