I did a couple trial runs of the leaves before attempting it on a holster. Quote Regards, Littlef Littlef - YouTube

AlZilla Posted June 24, 2023 Report Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Well, I'm late to the party, but very nice work. The edge binding, the welt, all make a nice looking holster. Mostly, I haven't seen or heard of prototyping in foam sheet. I have got to try that out. I bet it's a much better stand in for leather than poster board. Oh, and the oak leaves are worthy of envy, too ...

I put a lot of hours in trying to work out how to do the leaves. The edge binding was a first time process for me as well. The foam sheet works great. I got that idea from Chakotay. It folds and bends with a little stretch and a similar thickness to leather. It gives you a much better idea of the final form and fit than just using paper, and its only a buck or two per sheet in a craft store. I regularly tweak a design after using the foam, where I would have had a poorly fitting holster if I went straight to leather from paper. Quote Regards, Littlef Littlef - YouTube
CFM tsunkasapa Posted June 25, 2023 CFM Report Posted June 25, 2023 Very nice. Oak leaves are my favorite to carve. I had one of those little pistols for a while. But due to a deformity caused by an injury, the slide would slice the knuckle of my thumb every shot. I sold it to a young lady with much smaller hands. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Thank you very much. You certainly have less area to work with when soothing smaller pistols. Quote Regards, Littlef Littlef - YouTube
