Wow! impressive. I love the legs of the boy hanging over the border. Thanks for sharing!

Looking good for sure. Congrats on the successful change in eating habits too. It can be hard. Something to consider on the next cross draw build...put a little more cant in the holster so it is at a more natural angle to draw across your body. You did a great job of matching the dye colors on those two pieces. Can't wait to see more of your work.

Thanks for that intro to Serge. You're right. Fun to watch and very informative.

Those are super! God Bless America!!!

Beautiful craftsmanship. Love the stamping on it. I like to add a little curve to mine at the top so it doesn't look like it is straight across the top. Nice work!!

I have noticed when using imported leather versus, say Hermann Oak, the depth of cut is not as deep and the beveling as well. Like @chuck123wapati mentioned, are you casing the leather real good before cutting / stamping?

Welcome from SW Missouri. Sorry for your loss. As @Hags mentioned, there are lots of great videos on how to make holsters and plenty of good examples here as well. Just do a search for holsters and you will see a wide variety. There are pattern packs out there you can buy as well. On I got and am happy with is from Slick Bald. https://www.springfieldleather.com/Pattern-Holster-AvengerPack Good luck! And make sure to share your photos as you go.

Good use of small pieces. I have 4 large rubbermaid tubs of them. Could make lots of coin purses. Looks great with wrinkles.

Very nice. beats the wooden box from years ago where I keep my unused dice. Superb!

Welcome to the forum from SW Missouri, USA. You have come to the right place. There are folks here that make clothing, including leather jackets and a wealth of information on sewing machines and techniques. I have never made clothing, but the type of leather you will need is a thin chrome-tan leather. I would say 1-2 ounce in thickness. Hopefully someone will chime in and give you more information. Good luck.

Wow. Stunning! What goes in it?

Very impressive. I too like the color combo with thread and dye. Nicely done.

Great job on the stitching and the color choice. Great job!

Well done. I love all the textures. Sure enjoy watching your experience grow.

Beautiful work all the way around. I love the way you constructed the handle. The sheath is great as well. I like the option of carrying other stuff as well.

Good to know. I will check out the video. And yes, I have the GF.

That looks really good. May have to add one to my collection, unless I got it in a box from @Ferg

Nicely done. I love how you stretched out the basket weaves. That looks awesome.

Definitely have a ventilation system setup. Also only do veg tan leather. Chrome tan emits a toxic gas when hit with laser.

I like it. Love the 3 tone look as well as how even and consistent the beveling looks around the edges. Nice job.

Very sharp! Great work. Love the color and use of the camo tool.

Thats some nice looking pieces. Glad you took the time to show the pics!

Interesting...my friend and I were in Georgia prior to our moves to the midwest. I grew up here and came home to family. We were just south of ATL in Stockbridge/McDonough area. Rode through most of the state including NW (Helen, Blairsville.). My grown kids still reside in GA. One in Acworth and one in Lawrenceville.

Fine looking knife! Nice work @chuck123wapati

That's pretty cool @Gezzer and a great idea.
