Members LJPerreira Posted March 24, 2011 Members Report Posted March 24, 2011 I have a question regarding this tutorial. Im a beginner when it comes to leather work, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Ive already made a slim jim holster that was posted here by Mr. Simmons, and I glued the liner in as recommended. I noticed that the liner glued in makes the holster nice and sturdy, or rigid. So, I decided to make a lined Mexican double loop holster based on the instructions posted here. The problem is, it doesnt show how to add the liner to the double loop holster, and then get that holster to slide into the back skirt loops. I have a Colt Frontier revolver with a 7.5" barrel......I was thinking that I should just sew in the liner instead of glue it in, that way I can "fold" the leather into the loops? Thats the only way I can think of doing it....but, as I said, Im a beginner. Quote
Members Steve Lowe Posted June 15, 2012 Members Report Posted June 15, 2012 I thought the pic of the cover looked familiar. Jim I found this PDF some time ago (not here) on another site and used it. Awesome PDF and thank you so much for sharing. I usually make Conceal Carry for he autos out there but a western type for a revolver was a challenge to me and this PDF helped me out a ton. Thanks again Quote
Members Johnny Valentine Posted August 31, 2012 Members Report Posted August 31, 2012 Howdy, I'm kind of a young buck and new to these parts. Been interested in leather work for a long time, but just now getting started. I have a background in woodworking, so I know my way around the shop and can use tools without loosing any appendages. For my birthday I'm getting a Ruger New Vaquero in .357 mag, and of course I need a good holster and cartridge belt to go boot. Now to the nitty-gritty, I'm at a quandary as to how to go about lining said rig. Some recommend a soft pigskin or suede, while others insist that none other than good quality cowhide will do, especially to preserve blued steel. Right now I'm leaning towards the cowhide, but my question is what quality of cowhide is necessary? I want to do it right and use Herman Oak, but this could be cost prohibitive if I have to buy pieces of two different weights, e.g. 5-6 oz and 3-4 oz. What are some thoughts on going with a small side of 4-5 oz and using that for outer and lining? Also, if Herman Oak is so great why don't they offer shoulders, which are said to be the ideal cut for holsters? Sorry if I ramble. Any and all feedback will be appreciated. Sincerely, Jason, AKA Johnny Valentine Quote
