Members Jim Posted September 29, 2009 Members Report Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Howdy folks, I would like to y'all to take a look at this Holster Making Tutorial. This will take you step by step through making a template for any size or model Six Shooter all the way through to finished holster. The methods shown are those I have used to make lined and un-lined holsters for the last 10 years. Even if you have never made a holster, the instructions are easy to follow with text and photographs showing each and every step involved in the process. The difference between this method and others you may have seen or currently use is there is no Wet Molding involved to make a holster that fits right, tight, and out of sight. Feel free to download the tutorial and by all means, Enjoy! https://leatherworker.net/SimmonsHolster.pdf Jim R.

Moderator Johanna Posted September 30, 2009 Moderator Report Posted September 30, 2009 This pdf file is a bit over 5 MB so give it a few moments to download. Jim, we can't thank you enough for all you have given to leatherworkers over the years. Your patterns and books are classics, and you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. I'm pinning it now. Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain

Members MACKEL Posted September 30, 2009 Members Report Posted September 30, 2009 I can't thank you enough for taking the time for the excellent tutorial. Just about every question I had about western style holsters was answered, and everything is clear enough for even me to understand - now I just need to break our the leather and the Ruger and get started! Thanks again- Quote
