BruceGibson Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Luis, If you can find Blue Steel and Gun Leather by John Bianchi it's a great book. It's out of print, but you can usually locate one via the used book websites or Ebay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheathmaker Report post Posted November 25, 2007 If you are looking for something that will teach you how to make holsters and design your own patterns, then Al Stohlman's "How to Make Holsters" is very hard to beat. It's available 365 days a year from Tandy/Leather Factory. It is well written and full of illustrations as well as some of the more common patterns (for th time it was published).

LuisPaulo Report post Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) Thanks for information ! Until now, I made some western period insipired holsters (I'll post some photos later), but I want to make some "modern" (Bianchi style) hoslters and I think it is more complicated. I'll buy these books, thank you very much guys !! And about this book ? It seems to be a good source of information about carrying, ergonomy, etc http://www.amazon.com/Holsters-Combat-Conc...3508&sr=1-2 Edited November 25, 2007 by LuisPaulo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
candyleather Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Al Stohlman's "How to Make Holsters", "Frontier Holsters" and "Custon Knife Sheaths" with Chuck Burrows (DVD), red or blue guns for holster molding, holster patterns or your own design, and a little workmanship and imagination, no more! http://www.wrtcleather.com/tr-books/books-1.shtml http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.p...587&hl=blue http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.p...4&hl=vacuum http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.p...6&hl=vacuum http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.p...ic=2186&hl= Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
