I can honestly say this is my favorite forum to be a part of. Lots of good people with equally good advice. I learn something new with every visit. I'll definitely be posting more pics if my camera and I ever figure out who's boss. I knew there was a reason I never got into photography . -Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock76 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 Thanks for the positive comments guys! It's a pleasure to be here. Can't take credit for the design though. I've seen several holster makers with similar models. This one was directly inspired by a photo I saw on Del Fatti Leather's site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock76 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) This is an IWB I did for a Glock 19. Those are some thick bodied guns! And an Avenger style holster for an HK USPc Edited April 16, 2009 by Rock76 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cazio Report post Posted April 16, 2009 That's nice work. The stitching and moulding looks as good as any of my sparks, kramer or tucker holsters that I own, I hope to see more of your work. Robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usmc0341 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks for the picture of the back, you do very nice work. I'm guessing that you machine stitch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRB Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Very nice all the way around (design, molding, etc.). Surely this isn't your 1st leatherworking?!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock76 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks for the picture of the back, you do very nice work. I'm guessing that you machine stitch? No, I haven't gotten into stitching machines yet. Still doing it the slow way (awl and a couple of needles). I would like to get a machine in the future, but for now I don't mind hand stitching. It's kinda relaxing for me. Very nice all the way around (design, molding, etc.). Surely this isn't your 1st leatherworking?!? No, it's not my first piece. I've been working with leather for awhile. I used to build pieces for Japanese Katana; primarily scabbards (saya). I was making the handle for one particular sword and wanted to learn how to do the stingray skin wrapping, so I stopped into a local leather shop for some advice and have been hooked since Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usmc0341 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Man, I would have bet that was machine stitched, your stitching looks great. My stitches have come a long way, but I still have a ways to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
