Well done. It's not easy working from pictures of a 3D object. Congrats!

Yeah, if it were just reduced to photo, posts, and location, it would trim it up nicely. The other stuff struggles with formatting/ line wrapping anyway; making it difficult to navigate easily with the eyes.

I will usually apply the neatsfoot just after it's been cut out. If dyeing, I dye it right after the NFO. If not, then I allow the oil to dry, then put the holster together, then apply sno-seal, or my homemade protectant made of beef tallow and beeswax. Seams to do the trick. This one has a little dye on the tooled portion, but the remainder is natural HO veg tan.

That is sharp! Very classy!!

Welcome from SW Missouri. Glad you stopped by. Be sure to leave lots of photos of your work. Love seeing new crafters and their zeal for creating.

Sadly, they didn't place any order.

Thanks for the inspiration and gently holding me acountable! I am now officially licensed to sell the USMC related items.

Very nice. I would think with only slight modification, it could service the motorcycle community as well, especially the large Harley / Indian bikes. Connect it to the saddlebag guards.

That'll look cool!

Thanks! Still not a professional camera operator, but it is fun. The kids encourage me to record what I am doing, even if it may be mundane. Editing video is a full time job. I would rather be creating leather projects.

Nice! Make sure to show us the holster you use to clip it onto your boot.

Glad to hear your other business is taking off! Are all items listed on the invoices included?

Thanks!

@AlZilla I have never seen that style. Where are you sourcing them. Beautiful holster too!!!

Love the color and design. Stitching looks great too. Nice job!

Pretty cool stuff. Welcome back! Sorry to hear about blowing up truck after rebuild.

Wow. Impressive.

Nicely done. Beautiful dog as well.

Very cool. Thanks for updating the photos.

No, just the stamp itself. This video captures it pretty well. I don't cut with a swivel knife or bevel. I just use wing dividers to score the lines.

Very Sharp! Thank you first responders!

I am not sure what you mean by "gaps". The way I use the stamp is to first, create 2 scribed lines parallel to each other, about 1/2" apart. I take the stamp and align the flat bottom on the inside of one of the lines. The next stamp goes next the first, butting the stamp up to the end of the last stamp's impression. I continue the entirety of the line. Then I move to the second line. The second line's run of stamps is such that the top portion of the stamp (the round part) falls between two stamps on the first line. And yes, sometimes, I have to leave a little gap at the bottoms because I don't always perfectly align the bottoms on the first line. Is that what you are referring to?

I am almost positive you don't need a CCL to carry concealed in TX. If you have never had any classes or training with a firearm, it would be advisable to obtain the training for sure. Another means, especially since you wear jeans might be an ankle holster or pocket holster. Or maybe even a lightweight vest with inside pockets. Those elastic straps do seem like they would make you sweat. During summer months, it would be terrible.

That tri-weave is one of my favorite stamps. I love the incorporation of the symbols. Letters are so hard to carve in leather. Thanks for sharing your work!
