Holster Making Video Overview

[BillinOK]

Well, I'd love to watch it, BUT I live out in the country at the end of the DSL line. So it's slow downloading, too slow. If I try to watch the video it buffers about every 5 seconds. Has anybody made a DVD and be willing to send me one? I would sure pay for it to be sent.

Sorry, no DVD available - at least not yet... The video should actually be downloading - if you leave the window open in the background, it should continue downloading. Give it 5 or 10 minutes, then come back to it - it might be downloaded by then and you can watch it without interruption. My parents had the same problem. DSL that is WAY less than what they're actually paying for...

+1 for the suggestion of having this video pinned to the tutorial part of this page.

After 3 1/2 hours I got to see it. Very well done. It's always interesting, after doing leatherwork for years, you can always pick up something new or different from someone else. Thanks for posting an excellent presentation.

Thank you sir - glad you were able to eventually view it. I had a lot of fun putting it together.

Great Video, well put together, and as for the mistakes...you learned from them And if you hadn't pointed them out, we'd all think it was just "Your Method" Thanks very much, you've done a great service for people who are starting out in this!

Eric,

I just watched your video for about the 5th time and I have another question.

It appears that in the process of cutting the stitch grooves you are creating grooves in all areas EXCEPT where there will be stitching. This seems particularly evident in the area around the rear belt loop where the two halves are folded together and stitched.

Is this because your Tippmann Boss sewing machine creates it's own stitch groove as it stitches?

Always curious about the details,

Lance

Lance - you are correct. I'm not cutting a groove anywhere that I'll be stitching - they're just decorative cuts. Reason being - the Boss does a good job with the stitches on the front side, and if I were to cut a groove on the back side, it'd be VERY difficult to align the stitches with the groove. If I were hand stitching, I could angle the awl to align with the groove. But with a machine, I'd rather just make the grooves decorative and let the machine do it's own thing. The machine does a pretty good job of flattening out the stitching on the back side.
