bladegrinder Report post Posted March 10, 2023 Here's a two tone 1911 pancake holster I just finished, I think I finally have the 1911 pattern down. Thanks for looking... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezzer Report post Posted March 10, 2023 YEP , I'd say you have both the 1911 and the two tone down VERY NICELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted March 10, 2023 Looks purdy good. Still, I'd sew it right along there ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hags Report post Posted March 10, 2023 Very pretty and well done. I agree with the perimeter stitching as well. But still, very well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dang it, I knew someone would pick up on that! ha, ha. somehow I didn't pick up on that until I was air brushing the resolene on it. I did do the double line stitch around the gun without messing that up though so I'm getting there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladegrinder Report post Posted March 10, 2023 I'd never be making stuff like this without learning on this forum and the help I've gotten from you folks...Thanks everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorBob Report post Posted March 10, 2023 Beautifully done. I haven't had time to investigate the airbrush or invest in the equipment yet. I purchased the items for the vacuum system, but have yet to even unbox it. Hopefully in the next month, I can get to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert03241 Report post Posted March 11, 2023 I really love that look and 2 tone combo, looks very professional Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraulein Report post Posted March 16, 2023 Love that two tone look. Excellent work! Finish seems really high gloss, wondering how you got that effect. Is that just from airbrushing the resolene? Also, is the bottom closed or open? Curious how you did it as I struggle with how to close off the bottom on pancake holsters and usually end up leaving it open for lack of a better method. ~Frau~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doubleh Report post Posted March 16, 2023 Nice and I agree about the sewing but it's an easy fix. Although It isn't my "thing" you did a great job on the two toning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Chuck, I thought about doing that after the fact but kind of scared I'd mess something up. I'm still not real good with that machine and I figured I'd be best to leave this where it is, still learning from mistakes but thankfully I'm a quick learner...I'm hoping. 8 hours ago, doubleh said: Nice and I agree about the sewing but it's an easy fix.
