Seems rare these days that I have time to make something for myself but glad I hit the pause button on my custom orders to make myself a strap for my bass guitar. It's very similar to another one I posted awhile back, with a few minor changes. This one is two pieces of 4/5 veg-tan with rattlesnake inlay. Dyed dark brown with black trim.

Serious skills. Stunning work!

Looks awesome. Great work!

Just finished this trio up from alligator embossed leather. Made for a 30-30 lever action rifle. It was fairly thin so I glued it to a piece of 4/5 veg tan, then lined them with suede. Customer was very pleased.

Very nice!

Very nice work!

Looking great!

Well done!

Thanks everyone! I’ve made and sold two of these so far. My price for each was $250. Based on my business model, it works out nicely. Appreciate all the nice words.

Stunning work!

I have one and used it for the past two years or so. Love the machine overall. It definitely takes some trial/error in getting it set up properly and staying that way. Because it's arm powered, it's somewhat of a violent stroke which in turn knocks adjustments out of current settings, a little quicker. So...make sure you always test your stitch line on similar thickness/type before running a stitch on a final product. I'll never part with mine but it is now my back up as I recently bought a CB 4500. Good luck if you go that route. It's definitely a good machine and will stitch through a car if needed...

Outstanding work!

Well done! That elephant hide is awesome.

Outstanding!

Thanks! D-rings sewn into the holster and trigger snaps on the harness. Let me know if this makes sense - it not, I'll post a pic up close.

Thank you all, for the nice words. 327fed…here is the same design but for a different revolver.

That looks great! Well done.

Very nice work!

My latest build out of the shop for a customer in Wisconsin. Handgun hunter that wanted a chest rig for his Magnum Research BFR in .460 with 10” barrel plus brake. This consumed a plethora of dead cow…

After the needle is on its way back ‘up’ as you experienced is when to make the turn. At this point in the process, the top thread has already hooked the bottom thread.

Sharp!

Nice work!

Stunning!
