Acrylic Template for J Frame Cross Draw Holster.

[PastorBob]

Recently had a client ask for a cross draw holster.  Instead of just making it, I also created a template for future use.  Anyhoo, if anyone may be interested, here is a link to it.  https://pastorbobleather.com/product/cross-draw-j-frame-revolver-2-barrel-holster-template-acrylic/

Very neat. Every time I see something like this I get annoyed that my laser can't cut acrylic!

But can't you just 3D print one which would cost less then $2?

Yep - if I ever get motivated enough to learn to use the design software. Every time I start I lose interest......

Thanks!  I started with a borrowed GlowForge (CO2 laser).  When I saved up enough to get my own, I looked at all the options for lasers and decided to stick with the CO2.  About a year later, i added a Fiber/Diode 20W laser to the mix.  Now i can virtually engrave on most surfaces between the 2.  I really like engraving on metal / glass / leather / and acrylic.  Here is a journal cover I engraved.  The theme is travel (those white oval stickers with black letters) of Jesus as captured in the Gospels.

I can understand that. I find it gets a little harder as you become an old geezer like me.

"Even older geezer" - that's me! I just spent many hours getting a new NAS working, why do the manuals for these things assume you understand what they're talking about?  Made my brains hurt.....

PastorBob, that is very effective (and a bit different).
