  1. Great. Thank you, Stetson! I've made holsters before but just on a production line, so just one thing 100 times a day. This is the first time I'm doing the whole piece on my own. Its a lot of fun.
  2. I think I meant mm. I know inches but realized when I flip the ruler over the mm are easier for me to read and use now that I got some reading glasses. Thank you VERY much for the stamping tips. I'm just kinda going at it and learning. Honestly, I was prob drunk when I did this but have since stopped drinking on the weekdays. I think all that staying inside with the kids 24 hours did me in a little last year, idk. I only have one or two on the weekends with the wife if we are out at a ball game. That pic is a lot bigger than the actual holster and I see it's all over the place haha!
  3. New sewing machines are exciting. Yes that's a good price. Nice find!
  4. I made some holsters for Bond arm derringers and they didn't work out. It seems the dummy gun I bought is too small. My question is if I extend the size of the pattern around the edge ends, not the top or bottom, then I should fit, right? Maybe just 10 cm or so. Maybe my sewing and edge rounding ate too much of the original pattern up. I'll be making a paper pattern today. One holster is for a Derringer without a trigger guard and the other is one I had with a trigger guard but a small frame size than a Bond that I tried to make larger. I have the customer's photos on one image and mine on the other. I'm really thankful when customers take the time to send a pic. Thanks for reading.
  5. That looks great. May I ask what is the cant of the holster on the left side?
  6. You can use it to make bandoleros and big gun rigs where you'll stamp, not tool, and dye it.
  7. I think it is an old throwback phrase from the 80's when we were competing with Japan and China. I think in our minds back then we thought there were massive cold machines crafting different things at the touch of a button. Things, the world, and individual knowledge has moved so fast in the past 30 years that it's hard to imagine that we could believe that.
  8. Great idea. I can use this!
  9. I'm looking for a Single Six, Ruger Wrangler, or similar revolver blue gun to use as a blocking holsters. 4 5/8" barrel preferred. I have Single Action blue guns but no smaller .22 calibers. Thank you
  10. Ebay has their own banking set up now, instead of going through paypal. Prob that.
  11. Might have to make the holster more than once, until he's happy. So price for research and devlopement.
  12. Bummer, I picked up some from Campbell Randall but there's not hole in the side.
  13. There was a company Bufflao Brothers or something simliar in Albuquerque that I use to buy logo snaps from. I can't find them on the internet right now.
  14. I had some in cart, thanks for the heads up. I have no idea what I'm doing yet. I worked in a leather shop but the sewing guys where seperate and most valued.
  15. Thank you very much. I was hoping there would be clones of this machine, for parts sake. And thank you for all the other 441 info you have written on here. Sebastian
  16. Hi, can anyone help me find a place to buy bobbins for a Juki TSC-441? I've read through all these Juki posts, went through the manuals, and believe the one I need is Style 33 Part number 210-57401. I've searched google, ebay, and the suppliers listed here but not sure who to buy from. Does anyone have a prefered vendor for oil, needles, ect for industrial machines? I'll be making rifle scabbards and western holsters to help my family get by. I was very lucky to be given a well used Juki so just need to figure out how clean it up and run it. Thank you for reading this and howdy from the southwest.
