Frank Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Hey all, Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. I have made a lot of western style holsters but I had a customer ask for a two-tone black holster with a tan bound edge all the way around. Has anyone else ever done something like this before? If so, could you PM me and give me some pointers? I appreciate it much. Frank Quote Never argue with a stupid person. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!

Frank Frank, . . . do you have any kind of drawing, . . . sketch, . . . dimensions, . . . etc. I cannot personally understand what you meant by a "tan bound edge all the way around". Do you mean laced? Do you mean another piece of leather sewn around the outside like women used to use bias tape on their aprons? Holler back, . . . we'll help as best we can.

Frank Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 Last week I finished the bound edge holster after a little trial and error. I told the customer (who is now a good friend) that I will not make them for anyone else because they are such a pain in the . He was so happy with that answer that he ordered another one in reverse colors and said that he would pay for my A.A. classes if the second one drove me to drinking....more. What a guy!!

Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted March 22, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted March 22, 2010 You did very well Quote Luke
Frank Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks for all of the compliments. It's the type of holster you really can't mess up on at all. There is very little room for any "cover ups". I'm glad it turned out as well as it did. Quote Never argue with a stupid person.

Denster Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 Way to go Frank. Thanks for posting. Quote
Frank Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks Dennis, I appreciate it. No problem. Maybe it will work for some others on here as well. If anyone needs any tips on making something like this, feel free to PM me. I'm an expert on how to screw it up so you don't! Quote Never argue with a stupid person.

Members gregintenn Posted March 22, 2010 Members Report Posted March 22, 2010 I was going to quit making holsters until next winter. You've given me an idea that probably won't wait till then. I really like it! Quote
