  1. Yeah I'll visit your site & look at things. I might need to purchase more than 1 pattern. Lol my funds are low after buying a bunch of good leather tools. Well & I got 3 veg tan whole hides, what do you recommend for leather weight to make pancake style holsters? I got 9-10oz, 6-7oz, & 4-5oz leather weights. Plus I got some 2oz calf skin. Thank again for the help.
  2. Ok thanks. I appreciate it. I've spent the last couple hours trying to figure a pattern out. I think I come up with something that might work, but wont know till I try it. I might need to rack your mind from time to time with some Newbie questions. Thanks.
  3. Beautiful work. I love it. I hope I'll be that good someday. Outstanding work. Just stunning. Thanks for sharing it.
  4. @JLSleather do you have a link or pattern for a 40 M&P Shield pancake style holster? Also what other styles of patterns do you offer for the 40 M&P Shield? Thanks. Any & all help will be appreciated.
  5. Thanks for sharing that wallet. I like the looks of that design. Great work by the way. Yeah a older gent seen the tandy tri-fold wallet & really was liking it. He ask if it was possible. I was like yeah, first let me make a practice run & I'll get back with you.
  6. Yeah I have the owden premium edge bevelers they are awesome. I also got a few other owden tools & they are nice. The Wuta tools are nice as well & I got a few of them. But I only buy them thru amazon. Wuta premium line of tools are a bit pricey, but they are super nice.
  7. Thank I appreciate your input. Yeah I think also I will radius the top 2 corners as well.
  8. Yeah there was alot of firsts for me on this wallet. T-pockets being 1. It's a tandy pattern, & I changed the stitch length from 3mm to 5mm. Next 1 I will change up a bit more by sewing all away around the perimeter of the wallet. It will be a bit harder to do that, but well worth the effort. Thanks for encouragement & shall see how the next 1 turns out.
  9. Nice looking rigs. You do nice work. Just beautiful. You also shoot my favorite caliber of hand gun. 41magnum is way under rated & such a sweet shooter. I wish I could find a model 57 smith. Thanks for sharing.
  10. What about Badalassi Carlo Nemesis, check it out.
  11. Guys & gals here is my 1st tri-fold wallet. There are some mistakes, & I had to skip edge beveling the card pockets. Did not have a edge beveler small enough for the 2oz calf skin. I found out 2oz calf skin is kinda hard to work with. Lol more tools to buy, now that I know i need it. It did not turn out 2 bad & I'm satisfied with my 1st results. 2nd wallet will be better. I'm going to change a few things around on the next wallet. Thanks for looking.
  12. Looks good. Nice work.
  13. That's Sexy!!! Nice work! Beautiful piece.
  14. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
  15. I used a tap off on mine, instead of drawing it. I'm terrible at drawing or to OCD I guess. But yeah you could draw/cut your acorns any way you see pleased.
  16. Thanks. I'll give that a try. I just got into leather carving & I'm learning. That was me wanting to play with my new stamp tools too. Lol like a fat kid in a candy store.
  17. Thanks Frodo. I appreciate your time & knowledge. I want to get into making bags & that's the reason for my curiosity. Great looking bag. Looks awesome. Thanks.
  18. Thanks I appreciate it. I cant believe needles make that big of difference in stitch looks. That really opens my eyes up a bit.
  19. Thanks for sharing your work. Beautiful work I must say. What is the LL needles? Are they special shaped or something? Thanks.
  20. Thanks. Yeah I decided to get the cobra class 4 1st, but a am going to buy me a 206rb-5 after I acquire my play money back from the Cobra purchase.
  21. Keep me in mind. If you decide to send it back or send it down the road. Thanks. Hope you get it figured out & can use it.
  22. Are you going to sell this now, if soo I might have a home for it. Thats if you are in the U.S & shipping wont kill me. Thanks.
  23. I think it would be a neat piece to own. Especially if it works & has survived this many years. Back when they made stuff to last. Unlike our throw away society today. Cool piece of history.
  24. Thanks for the info. I'm going to eventually buy a consew 206rb-5 it seems from all I hear a good machine. Yeah my next adventure is going to be making holsters. I've made lots of 6 shooter holsters, but want to get into vacuum formed friction fit auto holsters. Yeah I probably am using way overkill on my thread choices. I been reading about stitch length versus thread size & I'm way off from what most people use. I got more to learn for sure. Lol as long as I dont sew my hand to my project I'll be ok. Thanks again. I sure enjoy seeing your holster work.
  25. I'm no help! But I do have a question? Is a bag like that sewed inside out & then flipped after the sewing is complete? Thanks.
