Ok, So I re-searchrd and all of a sudden google came up with what Im looking for. I must not have typed it right in the search bar?

I haven had much luck finding pattern for fur hats. Found lots of fur hats for sale but not patterns? Anyone know of patterns I can purchase (hard copy since I don have a printer)

Thank you sir

Thank you sir, That means a lot coming from you.

I used light brown antique for the main color and dark brown antique for the contrast. I used dark brown die for the bullet loops but the oil darkened it even more (pictures make it look black). The holster is 8-9 oz veg tanned outside layer and 4-6 oz veg tanned inside (dark brown dye). The belt is 8-9 oz veg tanned with 3-4 oz suede inside layer. The bullet loops are 3-4 oz veg tanned.

This is one of those holsters that just wouldnt do what I wanted no matter how many times I tried so, I went back to basics amd made this instead.

So now I know? 😊

I'm not a sewing machine guru by any means but is that braided thread? Is that made for sewing machines? I've never used thread that looks like that in a sewing machine, hand sewing with braided thread twists when I use it though.

Interesting idea. I throw my belts over my shoulder from time to time but they aren't comfortable that way and try to drop off.

I always wondered the same thing as your trying. After some thought and some trial I'm convinced it would work alright if the spool stand had a bearing maybe? Without a bearing I'm pretty sure it should draw from the top? I took all my tread spools of different colors and sizes and placed them all on a shelf then screwed some perforated angle iron to the wall above them so I can draw from any spool with very little time setting up. Good luck with that machine.

If you ever do get a chance to stop in there remember the good stuff is in the back. It's a landmark business and building and the people are nice. I get a veterans discount too. Makes me 😊

I took my first spike with a 500 about 25 years ago when Smith first started making the frame available to the public. I really liked that pistol but I was still young and used it for barter because I was a poor boy. Always wanted another but just can't justify. The picture sucks because my step daughter was running the camera even though she took several pictures of the land owners dog which turned out great. As you can see, I hit about 2" to the right. The processor said the bullet lodged in the front shoulder so I lost a lot of meat because of it. My friend at work has an unported snub nose 500 that his father left him and it really makes the hand sting! I'm sure at $5.00 a shell I won't be spending a lot of time shooting it anyhow. Oh, the buckle is a used buckle I have been looking for a place to use it.

I like it. Beautiful!

The best part of valentines day is when i became single 11 years ago. That 500 will have lots of canvas for tooling on the next holster. Thanks.

Had a new toy follow me home so had to start a new leather project. I always do a trial holster first to ensure my pattern is good so now that test fit is good I can start a bling bling holster.
