RiverRat Report post Posted February 10, 2010 Hi All! I just figured out that I have never posted on here before, but have been here regularly absorbing all I can about leather work the last couple of years. I'm in Austin, TX, married three kids, two grandkids, one dog and one cat. I live in a cabin on the Colorado River, hence RiverRat. I have just taken my custom holster building to a commercial level Tex45 - Cotton's Custom Leather and started selling them in mid January. I have set up a website; www.tex45.com (I should say sort of) and have been busy every since. Thanks to all for the information and data. It has saved me countless hours of research and mistakes. My interest at present is in unique gunleather, not production. I don't have the equipment or facility to do very many at a time. I'm working out of room off my garage. Here are some recent ones; I just broke down and got a Boss stitching machine in yesterday, so I'm in the midst of figuring out how to sew with a machine. My poor old fingers can't take the strain anymore. The forum has been a wonderful resource, Thanks Much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, though, that's some fine work you're doing. Heck, you've even figured out how to make a pink holster attractive! Keep posting, my friend, and...
