I design in Corel Draw, I make my holes 1mm and cut the leather with a laser, then I use a dremel and drill out all the holes with a 1.6 mm bit. I also use rubber fingers for pulling the needle thru this makes a big difference for gripping the needle. Sure some here don't like the the holes but hey to each his own right.

exactly 100 to 110 maybe wouldn't go much higher then that

not sure what you mean by Form worse. Using a dryer box or an oven to speed up the drying process is fine.Its not going to change the form of the holster. Just don't make the oven to hot, like use the lowest setting the oven will turn on and then watch your holster. When its cold enough to run the furnace I set my sheaths on the heater vent over night this works pretty good.

found a 99 what thread would I use with it. I'm brand new at machine sewing never had one, no nothing about them. I suppose I'll have a time getting up and running for the first time. any tips

thats the one I bought but it was 5 years ago and on sale I paid 4 plus I picked it up at the factory no shipping fees

dont buy a glowforge. look at Rabbit ,Thunder or boss lasers they have financing and youll be a whole lot happier. I bought a rabbit laser 6 years ago and very happy. It cost a little more but for the support and reliability of this laser it was worth it.

found one of those on ebay for a 100 +sxh seller didn't really describe it very well just said used condition. I'm leary of sellers like that

was trying to get you to take a picture with out all the junk in the back ground.

Been looking all over for a 66 seems like their all to expensive or broke and need repair

Yea their definitely a fall or winter hat, hot in the summer for sure

Well I think its a nice sheath but theres so much clutter in the picture its hard to tell. Compliment your work with a nice clean back ground when you photograph it. JMHO

I looked at most of those videos and they all pertain to making bellows. Like I said I am not god at figuring this stuff out, so for me trying to break it apart and then resize it to what I need. well you know ant't gonna happen.Thanx for tryin tho

Absolutely Beautiful work. I'm so jealous of people that can do work like this

Right I never worry about getting to wet. Heres a tip if drying time or humidity is a concern you can pop it in the oven for a few hours. Low heat lowest your oven will go.Check it every hour or so. If you have heat vents in the floor and its winter set it on the heat vent till dry. I live in the desert allso Lots of hot sun. I wet mold in the morning then set out in the sun, pull out the what ever late afternoon let set till midday next and your golden. Also you can make a drying box out of cardboard and a hair dryer, works awasome.

its real easy to mold by hand. I just soak the holster in pretty warm water for about a min, then I use a Sharpie and the wood handles of my leather tools to form it. Takes no time at all.

Thanx TOXO Well it does and it doesn't Im not good at figuring out this kinda stuff. Looks like I'd half to take one section out and then change all the dimensions to the size of a credit card.I haven't a clue anyone good at this stuff?

yea I've been searching too, nada was hoping someone might know how to make themhelp

I wanna try to make something like this, but haven't a clue on how to make the card pockets like this. I wonder if you can buy them pre made and sew them in or something

No its not real leather, not sure what its made from, I glued it to so veg tan tho. I have ordered real snake skin hide for the next on.

are you going into holster production for a business? I just wet my holster and form by hand, no need for a vacuum, unless you plane on doing a lot in a day.

Thanx guys appreciate the comments

I got a couple sq's of this faux Rattle Snake Skin. Wanted to see what it looked like and how it would form for molded knife sheaths.Glued and stitched to 5 to 6 oz Veg tan. The sq's were cheap so I didn't expect much. But it didn't turn out to bad. I'll probably get some flak on my choice of thread but thats OK .

spoiled rotten custom leather seat for him LOL

awe finally very nice

awesome
