Gezzer

Looks good ! I really like the blood knot on the concho

Best I remember I used the edge of a file and cut about 3 light v notches in mine . Like tsunkasapa said it doesn't take much .

Very NICE !! You have an eye for color

Thanks Chuck ! Doc I just hadn't thought of that but it is a great idea ! So here goes : no name ( cheap ) swivel knife with 3/8 " straight blade craftool B995 narrow smooth beveler no name Z-B701 checkered beveler

and the flankiest piece I have ever tried to carve , I think I kind of like the look . Wish I hadn't stained it though

I got a couple of shoulders and some and a belly in so a little more scrap to practice on .

Well I will upload the third one when allowed . shoulder holster # 3.pdf

I don't know if this would help anyone but I altered the Al Stohlman rig from " How to make holsters " . This is very comfortable to me . I have tried to create a PDF file and could not figure out how to get everything together so bear with me . All connections are Chicago Screws except short strap is sewn to ring which allows every thing to pivot to fit me exactly , but it can certainly be connected by whatever means works for you .

I think someone mentioned " consignment shops and K C should have some . Just know the local ones here want a percentage of the sale and if your stuff don't sell and you pull it , they still want a small fee . Word of mouth , which is slower is what I get work from . Good luck to you !

Nice work for sure !! Bert the Wrangler and Single Six are single actions so unless you back the hammer before you draw there ain't much way of an un-intentional discharge . Now I don't put it past someone somewhere to do just that but that person needs to " put the revolver down and step away "

Ah ,, I just didn't enlarge big enough .Tooling on cartridge holder is what I was looking at and it's still nice !

Looks fine. I think the feathers are a nice touch and the tooling looks great ! I can't tell what is on the conchos ?

Just wish I could do as good ! Nicely done

Very NICE !!!! maybe a little lighter color for the belly ?

My bs meter just pegged out !!!!

Very nice !!

Check out Sam Andrews on youtube . Andrews leather I think . You will think he is nuts the first time you see him cutting , at least I did . Now that is the only way I cut but I use something like an exacto knife with # 11 blade .......... works real well for me !! 9/10 oz is the thickest I cut though

My EDC is a shoulder holster that I use with whatever I carry ( revolver 98% of the time ) semi auto on rare occasions . Then there are a very few times I need to go somewhere I can't carry so this is my work around ... better than strong language

I like the diamond shape better but as you say " personal preference " . For what I am wanting 3/8 (10mm ) is plenty big enough . I see your reasoning but I may have enough quilting coming to justify getting a stamp .

@PastorBob Yes Sir , SLC is where I found them . Is the 296 the same as your diamond quilt pattern ? @fredk Thank you for the info and that would be about right . After I looked at shipping ..... I think II can get it for a little less and maybe quicker through SLC .

Thank you fredk ! Both are very much what I have in mind and the prices seem good as well .

OUTSTANDING !!!! and again Thank you , like you I had to take a break but this will prompt me to start again .

Looks good ! I can almost see your reflection in the edge

Thanks chuck !! Your cup looks great and that is almost exactly what the 296 stamp looks like .
