Members larry1096 Posted June 22 Members Report Posted June 22 After years of being a hobbyist holster maker, I've decided to get a bit more serious about my leatherwork in my semi-retirement. Here are a few recent builds: Larry Zen Leather Holsters Quote
Members akguy59 Posted June 22 Members Report Posted June 22 I would definitely say that you are ready for commercial sales. Those look like well designed, beautifully executed holsters. Good luck with the sales. Quote

Sorry for the delay; took some time off to rupture my left rotator cuff. (I don't recommend it; giving it 0/5 stars on Yelp.) My molding is improving, but there's a long way to go. One thing that really seemed to help was beginning the molding with an actual press (I use one made for Kydex, some folks use full-size shop presses.) A few minutes under a lot of pressure goes a long way to get getting the basic outline of the gun started, and then a variety of molding tools can help pick out some detail. Thanks for the encouragement; I've learned a lot here, and will continue to do so. Larry Edited June 28 by larry1096 Quote
