Worked on a case to learn. Made it out of remnants so it has some marks, for me it just adds to the character. Modifying it a bit and it would be a great Bible case.

The sole is attached and a light buckle.

Thank you I know, family told me I wasn't ready then. LOL Thank you, Put the rubber soles on and different buckles so you may be right.

The other thread inspired me to finish the sandals I started 4 years ago. The soles were cut and then set to the side. My daughter has claimed them.

Finished a holster to be mounted with the belt piece. I was told it is a home defense piece that he and his wife want to get too when in the living room. He is going to mount it to a piece of furniture. The requirements were a little different, full trigger cover, spare mag, and mountable. Making the holster with the clip on the top of the piece allows both access to it, it was a Glock so it had a nice flat top slide. The holster is thick for rigidity, wet formed for looks retention is not a requirement, yet it doesn't hinder removal. This was a fun build.

Nice job, the elephant is nice looking, how was it to work with? I have a question the close toe of the holster, what is the benefit over open or is it personal preference. Looked closer, is it just formed? Thanks

Thank you for posting, getting lots of good information. It will be nice to see your finished holster.

Nice job and sweet presentation of a quality nice.

Looks interesting, how you are assembling. A scalpel is useful for me in tight situations and the blades are cheap and can be changed when they loose an edge. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

He let me know the chest rig was to allow him to climb into a tree stand easier. Thank you, I think it is wearing me.

Thank you, first holster was a hold my beer. Took it to the store to show it and people wanted some. It is long, not my type of rig. He wanted it and I made it, just seems like a lot to carry for a 45 ACP. Thank you Thank you, No Sir! It is a Yosemite Sam type of rig. He was good natured as he got some ribbing for the rig.

Made an Alaska Rig for a 1911 with Silencer, and spare mag. Total length of the gun was 15.5 inches, it is a big holster and we were joking that it reminded us of the scene in Roger Rabbit. It was a challenging build with the spare mag pouch.

Thank you Thank you

They are actually for the strips going between flooring types. They pull out harder so work better with the sandals.

I use screw nails, it is for function. The Barge is strong but the flex/strain cycles concern me for durability. Thank you This is a closeup of the nail. They can be found in box stores or old fashioned hardware stores my favorite.

Thank you, I don't make the sole or insole. I find sandals on the internet and cut the sides off and use the pieces as templates, even reusing the buckles. Thank you, she deserves more than I can give her. I find sandals on the internet and cut the sides off and use the pieces as templates, even reusing the buckles. Thank you, she wanted BIG. This is the first pair, it shows the pieces cut off and used as patterns.

Finished Gini's large sunflower sandals. Now she has a go to town pair and house pair. She's my kryptonite.

Thank you, it was. Thank you, it is a great canvas, and the cases are inexpensive. Hope you have fun.

I like how you used the butterfly latch. The little details make a difference, good job.

Told Gini I was going to take it easy today. Something simple and fun. The stitching is for looks. It is still drying down.

Thank you, the hole give your thumb a place to go through and wrap your hand around the sling. Some say a little easier to sling the rifle. Thank you

Thank you Appreciate it Thank you, the backgrounder by the bear is from Sergey N. It is a sharper angular pebble type. Thank you, glad to hear.

Thank you. Finished the sling

Working on a thumbhole sling. Ran out of steam tonight, will finish the grizzly in the morning. The pattern is a Don Gonzalez that is modified.
