CFM Frodo Posted July 8, 2023 CFM Report Posted July 8, 2023 I have when in a pinch made molds using wood. If you are skillfully with a jig saw and a sander you can make a mold in a coupe of hours find an image online of the firearm and make sure the scale is correct cut and paste onto the wood and cut out Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

I sometimes dye a holster after constructing it, but far more often I dye the leather and THEN cut out the parts. There's a reason for that, another time. I haven't had any issues with the dyed leather not taking water, the exception being some drum-dyed HO I ordered exactly ONCE and for exactly that reason. I like that contrasting look, and many other people seem to, too. Still, I sometimes let the thread go in BEFORE the dye, as in the last pic. The pre-dye is what I ended up doing. You second pic is more what I'm looking for. Oil is always nice because the thread doesn't discolor, at all. I always appreciate your input! Quote "Be polite. Be professional..."
Members Handstitched Posted July 10, 2023 Members Report Posted July 10, 2023 So many dying,sewing, molding & assembly techniques in one thread. Love the red on black, really stands out, but I would use a Q tip , ear bud to dye the insides of the holes, but thats just me.
