  1. Ive purchased from here a lot but looks like they are out of stock at the moment. https://www.montanaleather.com/product/bark-tanned-woolskin-natural/
  2. I use a flush cut bit in my router with a strait piece of wood as a guide for cutting plex. I also use it for cutting thin aluminum panels very successfully
  3. I used paint to rotate and resize them. I know they aren't the original file because those files are too large to post?
  4. Yeah, I enjoy leather working a lot but it can't compete with the smiles I get from the crf450r. Lol Since I work shift work, I have to get as much sun as I can during the summer months. I took my leather working tools camping with me once though, I was pounding away when the hair went up and I turned around to see a bear wandering torward my camp. I decided that paying attention to my surroundings was more important when camping. Thanks for the compliments
  5. Thank you Should I crop them a little after I rotate them?
  6. why are they crooked? I spent the last 20 minutes rotating them to be strait on my computer before I posted them?????
  7. Ive been having too much fun this summer but now its time to start getting busy with leather again. Thought I would show&tell with a purse I made for my sister but, I havent seen many women wearing purses anymore? Maybe its a passing fad? Hope she likes it. Anyhow, if there are ideas or things that would be better when designing these let me know because I have to make a couple more
  8. Maybe this will help? Its my best pattern so far. The belt is made out of 8 oz veg tan but I found that the back is a lot more comfortable if i use 2-4 oz suede. The suede helps keep the belt located properly on the hip when bending sitting or just walking. Ive used veg tan on the back of the belt and found the pistol starts pulling the belt down my hip and when sitting it starts to slide around my cheeks
  9. The patterns I made out of paper told me the end needed to angle up in order for the holster to hug the hip without wrinkles. So yeah, I shot from the hip so to speak. Must be correct because I wore the black belt all day today hiking and riding my xr650 on the mountain. I had no pinching, slipping or discomfort no matter what I was doing. I actually almost forgot I was wearing it except for the leg strap had to be adjusted a couple times.
  10. Same principle as a condom, would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Lol
  11. Thanks, I carry extra on the belt because my utility/security rife uses the same ammo. It usually leans against a tree while my handsare occupied, the pistol stays on my hip.
  12. Been playing hard this summer and am getting tired of worrying about scratching up my fancy holsters. Dont really know when a fancy holster is going to be useful actually (going to sunday meetings?). I guess they can hang from my wall and collect dust? Built two holsters that can be used without worry while playing and if they get beat up, even better.
  13. You do outstanding work. Very nice
