  1. I like it! The only change I would make would be to round off the corners so they don't dog ear.
  2. Will something like this work? https://www.buckleguy.com/b9788-antique-brass-round-foot-zinc-multiple-sizes/
  3. I have some old dried oak trim I plan on using to make these.
  4. Looks great! Looking forward to seeing it when it's done.
  5. Thightness depends on function. If your friend wants a quick draw holster then you dont want it tight at all. If its standard carrying holster you want it a little snug but you dont want it to lock in. Normally with western holsters you dont have to wet mold, although people do. When you make the holster you make a retention strap to hold the pistol in place
  6. This is beautiful! Now I need one.
  7. Boy this brought back some memories. My first real job that paid me actual money was making sails. Back in early 80s, I was 13 or 14, would leave school early and learned how to make sails for a company called Fowler sails in Miami. I was able to help my family pay some bills.
  8. I currently do belts, bags, and wallets but I'm getting into horse tack so I'd like to try polybonded for that and dog gear. Thanks
  9. Are we talking about hand sewing or machine sewing? I'll answer for each one. Where do you buy your sewing thread? I usually buy my thread through whomever I may be making other purchases to save on shipping. Machine thread was was through Zack White Leather. Hand sewing thread was Amazon. Which brands do you prefer? Hand sewing Ritza 25 Tiger thread How much or bobbins of thread do you typically use for your projects (monthly or per project)? It really depends on the thread size. Machine thread I can use two bobbins in a day of 207. Much less of 69 thread. Hand sewing I use much less because I don't do much hand sewing anymore. How many different colors do you usually work with or have in your shop? Generally I will use Black, Brown, and White. If there's a special request I'll use any other color, at an up charge. What’s the typical price range you pay for your threads? Around $30 US for 16oz of bonded nylon 277. Around $10 for 50 meters of Ritza 0.6mm What type of thread do you prefer (polyester, nylon, bonded, waxed etc.) and why? Bonded nylon
