Dwight Report post Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) In a couple of recent threads, . . . the subject of a holster press has come up a couple of times. Being the king of cheap, . . . I have one that suffices for all the things I need it to do, . . . and the most expensive part of it is simply the 40 durometer gum rubber I bought for it. Don't laugh, . . . it's paid for, . . . and it runs works. I haven't yet figured out all I can use it for, . . . or even for sure how I want to use it, . . . but the holster that you can see only the edges of in the picture is SOME KINDA MOLDED.

Leather Bum Report post Posted February 6, 2010 That looks very cool, Dwight; thanks for sharing. I like that idea better than buying one from Harbor Freight. For what is that material under the bottom rubber pad? terrahyd, you can buy the gum rubber from McMaster-Carr. L'Bum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted February 7, 2010 That looks very cool, Dwight; thanks for sharing. I like that idea better than buying one from Harbor Freight. For what is that material under the bottom rubber pad? terrahyd, you can buy the gum rubber from McMaster-Carr. L'Bum Leather, . . . you got the button, . . . McMaster-Carr is where the rubber sheets came from. So did the high density poly that you so deftly picked out between the steel sheet and the bottom rubber sheet. It is the same stuff that Wally world sells for cutting boards, . . . white, . . . kinda slick, . . . wipes clean, . . . knives cut it & won't get dull if you use it for a cutting board. I have a couple 12 in squares of the stuff, . . . use it just to give height to the stack, . . . don't have to pump so many strokes. I put off welding one together for over a year, . . . then one day the light bulb came on, . . . why not just make out of 2 x 4's, . . . bolted together with carriage bolts, . . . voila, . . . project done. I've got some "changes" to make, . . . but it'll stay pretty much as it is. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) +1 for whar Dick said... and for the request to see a still-wet holster after being pressed... Sorry, folks, it took so long to get back to you. First pic, . . . wet holster ready to fold & mold Second pic, . . . in the press (can you see it?) Third pic, . . . product after the big squeeze, . . . still a bit wet behind the safety. This is the first production holster to come out of it, . . . and quite frankly, . . . I'm pretty happy with it so far.
