Members anvilcustoms Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Fun little project here. Built this holster for dad's Rock Island .45 (1911 model). Pancake style holster made from 8-9 oz. cowhide, LINED with glazed pigskin. I made the BULLET RIVETS myself. They actually turned out perfect and apply to leather VERY well, very tight. After shooting a few rounds with the gun, I just cut them down on my lathe......fun stuff. I have a BUNCH of these rivets made up (well a few sets more than what you see here in the pics).....and I am happy to sell them. You would be surprised to find out they are a bit TEDIOUS to make. You REALLY want the bullet ends to be cut perfectly, otherwise they would sit crooked on the leather surface. Therefore I cut these in my small lathe. I had to build a small JIG for EACH caliber (all different sizes) to hold the brass cartridge.....otherwise, they would be crushed in the lathe chuck. Sizes Available: .38, .44, .45 Pack of 10 Bullet Rivets: $50 (plus $5 shipping) Pack of 5 Bullet Rivets: $30 (plus $5 shipping) Anyways, if you want some, let me know.
