That's awesome. If you can't find, or afford, what you need, make it. Someone did. Great find... I'll bet the person made a LOT of things with those and loved them.

Looks good. When you have a limited edition knife, you can go with a limited edition sheath.

Nice clean work. I can see where it would sell well. I have a few buck knives still, including a collectable issued by the Fish and Game when I worked for them. I gave a few of them to the kids as they moved away and might need one to keep in the car or whatever.

I made a couple 22 ammo pouches to dump loose 22 ammo in for walk around plinking with the rifle or handguns. The first was a belt mounted pouch, and the second was to be clipped on a cross chest or shoulder strap. Both would hold about 100 rounds or so easily. It was a challenge, I had to learn the box stitch and the design was my own, so the first one had some glitches to work out. I enjoyed the process as much as the finished pouch.

I personally finish the underside of all floorboards before I put them down in the rooms I install them in. I know, I know, you can't see the underside, but "I" know what's there. I also tend to sand the inside of boxes to a glass like finish before I cover them with velvet... But it's just me. Nah, jk. I make knives, and you do roughen the tang under the scales to insure a better adhesion of the epoxy, you also rough up the underside of the scales.

I have a Cobra 3200 I am trying to learn, but it's slow going since I don't sew that many large tasks and still do a lot by hand. I will make more Gunbelts in the future, but won't go with high round counts unless I make one on request and they specifically overrule my recommendations. Not likely since I don't normally make gear for anyone but friends and family... I don't normally sell my work... just makes life easier.

Nice work. Have you tried the belt on with both guns and all the loops filled? I was shocked at how much my belt weighed with 18 rounds, 4-1/2 inch Uberti 357 Birdshead, and the stag skinner. . I'm thinking my next will be the holster, sheath, and two six round loops.

The Sun did it's job and the melt off finally occurred. UPS arrived today and Edge Kote in hand I headed to the shop and worked the edge kote around all the edges. Holster, sheath, and of course the gun belt itself. Once that dried, I re-burnished all the edges to a high sheen. I am pleased with the black accent. I call this one done!

Thanks, choosing a knife was an issue for me as well. Choosing... My wife told me to slow down on the knife making... She was kidding. SHE is knee deep in Quilts. Hopefully all the orders will arrive today, the snow has melted away.

Beautiful job.

As I said, I'm waiting for the edge coat, it was supposed to arrive Thursday, started snowing and UPS didn't run. Kept snowing all thru the night and into the afternoon on Friday. UPS didn't run. Our tertiary rural Oklahoma roads don't get treated or plowed. The company that takes care of them is called "Mr. Sun." Supposed to hit the Mid 40s for the next four or five days, before dropping back in the low 30s or so. Mr. Sun should do his job... The UPS updates on tracking say, "Sorry for the delay, should see your stuff by Tuesday ..."

Very Clean stitching, and nice looking with the brass guard, but would not be very practical for use. Would look nice for Costume or dress wear but would get dirty quick being white. If it was for ceremonial use, like a Guard Post somewhere like at the Alamo, Great Job.

Thanks, I was going to use a couple walmart bags. I had seen the trick of tipping the top edge out a bit to keep it from getting eaten up from the cylinder edge. I've also seen them use a hammer or mallet handle to open the barrel channel up a bit first, so you aren't fighting it so much when you first insert the firearm. I may use a piece of dowel the right size so I don't tear the bag/plastic wrap. I don't care if I scuff the internal leather.

A look at the middle of the gunbelt where the cartridge loops ride: and of course the holster end. Once the edge dressing hits the mailbox, I'll post a final set of pics, but it's basically finished. It's been a great learning experience and I learned a lot from all the YouTube Vids and the practical application of the skills shared there. Next build I'll do some tooling and perhaps some inlays, something a bit more fancy. Surprised to discover the holster shrunk dramatically when it fully dried. It was a chore to get the Uberti to seat fully AND to draw from the rig. I'll soak the holster a bit then bag the gun and fit it back in the holster to stretch it back out and let it dry with the gun in place to form fit the pair. Hopefully this will cure that issue. Watch the space for a later update.

Back out this morning after breakfast and knocked out the sewing duties. Then stained the areas that showed raw leather from the holes. Added the decorative loop at the bottom of the sheath, and burnished the edges. Fitted the sheath to the gunbelt, then the holster. We are basically done until the edge dressing I ordered comes in.
