I'd be happy to wear that rig. Excellent work.

My new workbench with a couple of completed holsters and a large bag I'm working on. Large cutting surface 36 X 48 and concrete slab 20 X 26. Slab was free from local Granite supplier. They said it was cheaper to give it to me than to pay for someone to take it away. This should help me get my act together and finish some of my project now that I can find everything.

Just to be different I use yellow thread. .8 size that I got from WISH.COM. I saw it on Facebook. It works well and is very strong. The Tandy white thread is great but a bit thick. It also picks up any dye you use.

Most Excellent !!! Great looking rig. You must get a lot of lookers at events.

That's incredible. I really like your design and the use of hardware.

What a great looking bag for your guns. I've been thinking of making one as well and after I do a few more purses for my girlfriend and family I will spend the money and time on one. Nice to see you didn't need a pattern. Your dimensions look to be very capable for what I need to carry to the range. Often my significant other wants to go to lunch after an outing and this case would not be a tell all that I have guns in the car.

Very nice detail and stamping. I can see that in the pocket. Good pattern for a belt sheath as well. Keep up the extremely nice work.

I use a medium then a fine diamond stone to get the blade sharp. After that I strap it with my leather strap. I use a Tandy HeadKnife and keep it sharp after every project. I can easily cut through 10 ounce leather. It does take a lot of time to get it just right. I sharpened one side of the knife and it didn't cut at all, then I spent another hour on it and got it to work just great. There are a lot of good videos on YouTube to show how to do a good job. Weaver Leather had one of the best videos.

Excellent work.

This holster took me three days to complete. Lined with 5 ounce VegTan leather, hand stitched with yellow thread basket weaved and dyed with Tan leather dye. The gun fits so well that I can turn the holster upside down and the gun will not fall. For the competitions I go to this is an important feature. I enjoy making the holsters almost as much as shooting. Basket Weaved

Very nice work. Nothing bad I can see.

Much better job. Nice depth and great edges.

Nice looking rig. Owner will be pleased.

I like that stamp. You di d very well at getting it deep enough. I agree that your edge stamp needs to be closer together. If you were trying to space them evenly so that they made the entire length of the line that's o.k. but you only need to space a few not the entire line.

Most excellent work. Owner will be proud.

I never realized how much a stitching pony helps until just recently. Now I don't know how I got along without one for so long. You're pony and bench is what dreams are made of. Fantastic work.

I bought a vertical bag kit from Tandy to make for my granddaughter. I decided to dye it Royal Blue and am using the Fiebring (Spelling) Pro Dye. Dying both side of the project took me 3 bottles, this is without doing the edges yet. The leather in the kit really soaks it up. I now have the color I want and it's nice and clean. I wish they had the quarts of dye for this color but only had the 4 oz. bottles. I now know if I try another kit I will buy lots of dye to finish it. Pic will follow.

Excellent work. Lots of talent exhibited there.

I tried Renie but the glue was too thick to work with. I guess they sent me an old bottle. I had to add water to get it to be usable, after that it works o.k. I use Barge. Been using it for a long time. I don't mind the smell, I glue in the garage with a fan on so that the smell doesn't get into the house. Gorilla glue...great glue for many purposes but dries very hard

Super rigs and great tooling.

You did very well. Nice and clean all around.

Nice work.

NICE work!

Excellent bag. You put lot of work into it and it shows. Looks superb. Wish I had that talent. I'm still trying to make some small purses and although they are coming out well I can see I need tons of practice to even come close to anything like yours.

There is always TandyLeather.com They have a wide variety of chisels and they are not too expensive. I buy a lot from Tandy. Four prong and two will be good enough for your needs.
