Thanks! I just noticed the pics got reversed, may have happened in selfie mode, the rig is right handed as shown in the first and second pic.

When I first started with leather I started like most people, small easy pieces. My first turn at trying something more serious was a gun belt that was towards the end of 2019. I learned a lot about how to do things and how not to do things. I used 9-10oz veg tan and 1-2oz pig suede for lining. I learned that I shouldn't use chrome tan lining for a nickel plated gun. Either I over saturated the belt with black or I didn't seal it properly because I still get a lot of rub off. I think I'll try sealing it again with resolene. The gun is an Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw in .45 Colt

Thanks!

Thanks! I was looking at oval punches and at this point I not sure which brand or sizes I should get. The cheap ones, well they're cheap but some of the expensive ones have bad reviews as to quality so I'm leary about pulling the trigger on them.

Thanks, I saw a similar design on youtube and did a couple of changes. It has an inside pocket, more like a sleeve, that is removable. I used chicago screws to attach it and It's big enough for a large cellphone. I made some other purses without pockets and boy did I get an ear full!

Thanks!

Thanks! It's hand stitched.

Thats great info thanks! Thank you

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Why oval holes instead of round?

I made a purse for my sister out of veg tan dyed to a whiskey brown with dark brown accents and red suede interior. She took it to work and a coworker wanted one for his wife. I made that one black with whiskey accents. Please feel free to critique so I can improve

Ok sorry. I tried to posts pics but it kept saying the file sizes were to big so I posted them in flickr and added the link here. I found the smallest file sizes I have and posted them here. It a John Wayne replica holster.

I started dabbling in leather work in 2019 and started applying myself more during the 2020 shutdown. I came to this forum a couple times while doing research for a couple projects and finally decided to join. I hope to learn more about the craft and hopefully I can help others along the way. Here's a link to a few projects I've done. https://www.flickr.com/gp/196627394@N08/90bC3mK7jJ
