BOOMSTICKHolsters Report post Posted December 22, 2007 Hi, leather workers! 'Just wanted to introduce myself. I grew up around leather as my dad built tack and repaired saddles from the time I was born until the present. I started out making holsters for myself and my friends at first out of necessity, and then just for fun. I finally decided to make a go of it and I have begun making this my full time job. It looks like I will be learning a lot from you all. I hope I can occasionally return the favor, but for now let me just say 'thanks for all the great information'.

BOOMSTICKHolsters Report post Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Nice to meet you, Kevin. Small world! Nice looking site, BTW. That wallet with the wood grain is just awesome! Here is a pic from my web site of the last shark skin rig I built. I still have a lot to learn but I improve every time I make a holster. I look forward to picking your brain a little in the future.

Regis Report post Posted December 22, 2007 Jeff, Glad to have another experienced leatherworker to help guide those of us that struggle along. Good looking holster. Is there a belt clip or loop on the back of the clip & flashlight cases? Regis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOOMSTICKHolsters Report post Posted December 23, 2007 Thanks, everybody for the kind words. Regis, the mag and flashlight holders are attached via a tunnel loop sewn on one side and open on the other. This is the only way I have found to add a tunnel loop on an exotic overlay that lets you get good strong stitches. I hope you can tell what I'm talking about from the picture; it's a little dark. Luke Hatley, I don't know Tony Watts, but that name sure does sound familiar. There's a good chance I heard of him while I worked at one of the local gun shops. Is he still around? You guys are great. I've already learned a lot from this forum. If I can ever return the favor I'll do my best to help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
