Members gregintenn Posted June 19, 2010 Author Members Report Posted June 19, 2010 Yep, . . . got that one right, . . . When I read the post, . . . I envisioned gregintenn sewing each loop together as it came through the hole, . . . just goes to prove that even without glasses it sometimes isn't easy to read what is written. Stitching on each end could be most appropriate, . . . depending on what look was desired. May God bless, Dwight Yeah. I meant the ends. I'm not a fan of rivets. Quote
Lobo Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 Here is a photo of the set I refered to above. You can see the single line of stitching on the cartridge slide where the loops are terminated at the end. On a belt there will be plenty of additional room to get creative with the stitching.

Members gregintenn Posted June 19, 2010 Author Members Report Posted June 19, 2010 Looks good, Lobo. I want to make some of those cartridge holders for high powered rifle cartridges as well. I like the way that one looks. Quote
Members JackRabbit Posted August 17, 2010 Members Report Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Hey guys , do you have the same problem as I do ... after punching the holes in thick leather with the bag punch they are widening up towards the surface , like ... V ? Only the behind of the belt has that 1/8" oblong slot topside slot being much wider. Do you have the punch sides reshaped or what is the way to get the slots formed straight ... well , at least not so wide on a top . ( My idea to try is to moist the areas between slots and bone them flat with the boner , sounds any good ??) JR Edited August 17, 2010 by JackRabbit Quote Fast is fine but accuracy is final .
Members JackRabbit Posted August 17, 2010 Members Report Posted August 17, 2010 Answering to my own question : Yes , the boning works . My buddy had asked me to make a cartridge slide for spare ammo for his .38 . Today when back home I took a strap of thick leather and drew the lines for punching the holes for a ammo slide and taking the bag punch I whacked a row of slots into leather . Got the V - shaped slots as usual ...but then I moistened the areas between the slots , then boned them to re-flatten the leather for straightening the V's into I I - shaped slots. Went just fine . I dryed the leather with the warm-air blower and did the weaved loops for 38 Specials . Had very neat and TIGHT loops all the way . JR Quote Fast is fine but accuracy is final .
