particle Report post Posted March 23, 2010 That's a cool design! Love the shape of the reinforcement piece. Looks sorta "shark-ish". Nicely done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixer Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Nice work! If I may, how do mark your stitching holes when working with that type of trim? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoelR Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Looks good. Check out the fresh-water shark that ostrich market has (they refer to it as smooth shark). I have 5 holsters requested with it - all from the same person... I'm thinking of making a belt for my daughter with it as well. Nothing wrong with a 4-year-old having a $100+ belt, right?

BigRiverLeather Report post Posted April 2, 2010 Nice work! If I may, how do mark your stitching holes when working with that type of trim? I used a stitching groover and I had planned to just mark them with a 4 prong (and single) diamond punch from Tandy. I thought that the 4 prong punch might make to big of holes for the shark but it actually worked very well. I did the same with some elephant but that was much tougher. Looks good.

I'm thinking of making a belt for my daughter with it as well. Nothing wrong with a 4-year-old having a $100+ belt, right? That sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures of the freshwater shark, on a holster maybe? Here is my latest with shark, an IWB I did for a customer. I want one! This was really really comfortable too.

Denster Report post Posted April 2, 2010 Awesome holster Scott. If you had trimmed the loops in shark it would have been teetotaly awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigRiverLeather Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks Denster. Yeah, I wish I would have done that too. This was a free upgrade for an LEO. I already had the loops made up and I wanted to ship it ASAP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
