Members Peterk Posted February 14, 2009 Members Report Posted February 14, 2009 Were those molding detail lines created with freehand groover? Nice job! Quote
Members brinyar Posted February 15, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 15, 2009 I edge the reinforcement piece and give it a slight burnishing before I glue and sew it to the main body of the holster. Cutting the front belt loop or tunnel that way does pull the slide in nice and tight, I think I'll try another holster for my Kahr in this style. As for the final molding detail lines I use a variety of stainless steel molding tools to draw the lines in. They are pressed in, not cut in with a groover. Quote

Would you mind sharing what molding tools you used? Quote
Members brinyar Posted February 16, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 16, 2009 Some of the tools are from some sort of pick set that I found in my fathers shop, some are from what I think were clay modeling tools. I have ground on some of them to get the shapes I like. I'm not really satisfied with anything I have now. Some just are not comfortable to hold in the hand and apply pressure to the holster, but they work for now until I can find something better. Quote
