Members luke213 Posted January 14, 2010 Members Report Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) A trick I've found that's worked for me to get the groove on the back side is to punch the holes then take a freehand stitch groover and do the back side. It's much tougher since you will bind a little on each hole and you have to be careful but it does work. Otherwise nice work, and great job boning:) Luke<br> Edited January 14, 2010 by luke213 Quote www.AdamsHolsters.com Custom holsters made for you.
Members dickf Posted January 15, 2010 Members Report Posted January 15, 2010 I don't think it's necessary to groove the backside at all. The holster looks great and the color is superb. Was your thread originally white and got colored from the wet mold? I need to find a way to avoid that. Quote US GUNLEATHER www.usgunleather.com twitter.com/usgunleather facebook.com/USGUNLEATHER
Members particle Posted January 15, 2010 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2010 The thread was actually the same spool that came with my Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl - it held its color very well after dying with the Pro dye. I just bought a larger spool of it because I really like the thickness and the color. Quote Eric Adamswww.adamsleatherworks.com | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram

I've been thinking about getting one and would like to hear your opinion before I drop the whole $13 for it. Quote

Actually, no - I bought the speedy stitcher, but only used the thread out of it and have never actually used the tool itself. Once I watched a video of it on the internet to learn how to use it, I figured I'd rather just hand stitch it with an awl and a couple needles.
