Members Bronson Posted October 2, 2009 Members Report Posted October 2, 2009 The closest tandy leather store to me is a couple of hours away. You can also order directly from Tandy's website http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/ if they don't have something in the store (my little local shop doesn't have any books). Bronson Quote
MADMAX22 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Hit Kevin up for some of that herman oak stuff that he has for like 4.79 ft. That stuff rocks, I just got into the side I picked up and man I really like working with this leather. Quote
Members katsass Posted October 2, 2009 Members Report Posted October 2, 2009 sweet! thanks for the help guys! Good morning, for what it's worth, I use a lot of 4-5 oz shoulder leather. Keep your eyes open for the sales from Tandy and you can score some ggod stuff for a really decent price. Don't be afraid to order from the internet...they forward your order to the store closest to you. As to the light weight leather, I bond two layers together, rough side to rough side, so that the completed holster is smooth inside and out. Takes a bit of sewing though, but that can increase you hand strength (LOL) Here's a sample of what two layers can produce. Keep working and enjoy the craft!!

Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
