sniper Report post Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Well, that didn't work so well...I'll try again! Never let anything electronic know you are in a hurry! New guy, here. Sigh of relief that it worked this time. I wish all sites were as easy to post photos on. I've been reinvolved in leatherwork for a little less than a year, I hadn't done anything with it since I got out of the Air Force in 1964. It is both challenging and fun, and I now have waaaay more tools, etc, than I ever thought I would have need of. Fool that I was, I thought the Basic 7 kit would do it! Yeah, right! I look at the marvelous work done by members, and HOLY COW! How do you do that? Pancake style holster for my 357. Herrett Cocobolo grips. Some say my tastes run to. ..can you believe it?..Garish! Not sure what they are talking about. For my Mark II Target, basic plan modded to clear the red dot sight. Again, Cocobolo grips that I made after I decided (about 10 seconds after seeing it for the first time) "I can fix that!" Western style, for my Single Six. My son may receive them for Christmas. I got a really good deal on the faux ivory grips. A knife and sheath I made for my niece's husband. Desert Ironwood handle.

It is definitely not garish to me. ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sniper Report post Posted November 29, 2010 Very nice work, I love the holster for your competition handgun, that'll be one I'd like to make for one of my 45's Thanks; If I remember correctly, I modified the .45 pattern from Stohlman's "How to Make Holsters" book to make this one, because I didn't like the other choices.
