Check Rocky Mountain leather supply

Slickbald customs has a bunch of different patterns. There is a ton of different guys to get patterns from. You can also buy Blue Gun molds of the particular firearms you want to make holsters for. I would strictly stay with veg-tan on making holsters. Couple guys on here got formulas for making holsters.

Looks nice. Great work. I know you could probably market it on Etsy. Your bag pattern & carving pattern.

Look into the Tandy Lil buckaroo saddle. It is a pattern that tandy had for a scale down saddle. Might be perfect for your wooden horse.

Nice work. They all look great.

I'm thinking the small lever changes the thickness of cut you want to make on your leather. Might not want to get real crazy when giving it new life. Might be worth more in it's natural state.

Nice work. It really looks nice. I think the Concho's really accent the whole rig.

Canvas works good for slicking leather.

You buying one? Lmao I heard they are cheap!!! Yeah I been following some of these machines on hightex channel. When your machine needs a air assisted needle cooler you are moving some material. Smoking Thread!

I would get some 3.5mm x .6mm thread pitch screws & try them. If they don't fit, buy a 3.5mm x .6mm pitch tap & re-thread them.

Look good. Nice work.

I been meaning to make a pair of snake gaiters for when out metal detecting in the woods. I was going to use some 12+oz real elephant hide, I heard & have read it is the most puncture resistant of any other leathers. As far as a pattern, I was going to use some heavy poster board to come up with a pattern.

Nice work. It looks great.

Looks nice. Great work.

I am going to say it is pebbled calfskin, like the RMG Pomari. This is a 3oz leather. Or something like a shrunken calfskin. The shrunken calfskin is too heavy at 6oz so it would need to be split down to 2-3oz leather.

I know you said your Keychain is working out OK. But for a flat low profile fastner. Look into Glove Snaps.

I have been buying my poly sewing machine thread thru Thread Exchange. Seemed like good prices to me.

Nice work. Looks great. What did or what is your handle/strap made from?

Looks nice. Great work!

I did get around to beveling the top edge & got it painted. Since it is a heat able edge paint I might hit it with my heated edge machine later tonight. Looks alot better now I think.

Yes it did call for the baseball stitch on the back. I won't lie, I was just being lazy on the back seam. Also I think I used way too heavy of leather, it is is 6oz Seidel Crazy Horse. I am going to try & make a better hat this week by modifying the pattern for more seam allowance. That way it will be easier to machine sew. Or at least I am hoping so. Thanks for sharing your hat. It looks nice. Almost looks like a DieselPunk hat. Thanks for the feed back.

Yes. The top is constructed wrong, per the instructions. I did it that way to simplify the sewing procedure. Also I used the so called hat band to cover my drunk driving sewing. But next time I am going to use the hat band to sew/attach the brim & top it 1 step. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Another pic.Pic. I need to bevel the top & edge paint it now.

Well it is far from perfect!!! Lmao. I learned alot from this project. All I can say Tandy's pattern is not for machine sewing. It only has 5mm seam allowance, which really is not enough real estate. Might be ugly, but I am pretty happy with it.

Don't know if you care or not. But figured I would mention it. They make a 29k72B or might be a 73 clone, with a 18" arm & big bobbin. It is quite a bit more money thou. Like $850-$950
