Denster I'm assuming based on your pictures that you sew the holster before the vacuum process. Do you wet the leather also?

I was thinking of setting up this exact method. Where did you purchase your bag and other components? Has any one tried the bag method with a shop vacuum as the vacuum source? I have a Sheldon lathe I'm trying to sell to finance my purchase of a Toro 3000. Have about a dozen holsters I want to make for my own use. Who knows if I get good at it I may offer them for sale and develop an extra retirement income.

Artisan customer service, I hope it's better than thier sales follow up. I emailed two days after the announcement of the price reduction to verify price and availability and never heard back for a week. I had to call Dave and got a long speel about why he had not contacted me. Long and short they supposedly ran out of stock and were air freighting in some more at the standard pricing. Not in my budget for a hobby business. Guess I will look elsewhere. I noticed he did follow up here and let us know how many were available either.

What brand and model of sewing machine do you use? I was thinking about doing similar items for my guns but am new to sewing. Can't afford an expensive machine though. larrydonaldson@rossreels.com
