Hi Johanna, I was wondering if the PM's are working? i Pm'd you 3 days ago about a major problem, and usually you get back to me right away, i also PM'd others and haven't heard back from them either...Thanks Tom

Hi JamesR, Look at this website, they have everything, color, size, and they deliver fast... http://thecuttingboa...tegory_Code=2CS

Hi Skyblast, The holsters are very nice, i think you are doing great...But i have one piece of very important advice....In the first video, when you are reholstering the pistol, you have your hands under the muzzle, its a very bad habit to get into, please rethink on how you do this...Tom

Hi Skyblast, First off, welcome to the site....Read this thread, it should answer all the questions that you asked.... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=16609

I usually get my t-nuts from McMaster-carr, they have stainless, but for some reason the don't have it in 8-32.....Also stainless seems very expensive. $5+ for 10.......What i do is buy the steel ones and lay them on a cardboard and paint them with Brownell's Alumina-Hyde-ll, its an epoxy paint, and it comes in flat and gloss black, i find it holds up very well...The down side is, it takes 2 weeks to set and dry, so you have to do a bunch at a time....Tom

Just checking to see how everything works, so far with the exception of the missing PM's ( which i am sure will appear any day now) everything looks and works great....Thanks Johanna!

I think it looks great, especially for a first holster...

How about using the collet and chuck from an old Dremmel?...Tom

Hi Joe, I don't know if you seen this video on the Tippmann site, it might be of some help.... http://www.tippmannindustrial.com/video.ph...2c02f8bfaef3a22

Eric, the specs i sent you was from my Barry King maul, i got the 24oz...... One and a half lbs. works well for me, i can hit it hard enough without getting tired on bigger projects..Tom

If you can look at or buy a copy of Al Stohlmans book on "How to make holsters" it shows all the different angles including cross draw, and how to do it....You can usually get it at Tandys....

Hi Eric, My maul is 2 1/2" dia. tapering to 2", overall length is 8 5/8" including the weight washer on top and acorn nut on bottom, the handle is 6"...Hope this is of some help....Tom...
