Members WMages Posted Monday at 04:04 PM Members Report Posted Monday at 04:04 PM Looking to further tighten up details on leather holsters I build. I'm getting by currently with a round punch and a slightly too narrow oblong punch but would like to do this in one or two hammer blows. I normally build holsters matched with either a 1/4" or 5 1/16" belt. Could someone direct me to a good quality punch that will make the slots the size I need in one pass? I've looked at Osborns but haven't been able to determine the width of the slot they cut. I expect to pay a premium price so long as the punch is great quality. Thanks. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted Monday at 10:00 PM Contributing Member Report Posted Monday at 10:00 PM (edited) There was discussion recently which included talk about large oval punches for holsters I can't remember where it was or by whom, but if I find it I'll post a link edit; check this thread out Edited Monday at 10:06 PM by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
