Members colt1911 Posted January 13, 2011 Members Report Posted January 13, 2011 I took advantage of the holiday sale Tippmann had goin on. I took the big leap and got a new Boss. This is the first holster ive done with it. What do yall think? Any comments or advice or tips on the holster AND Boss would be greatly appreciated. I took me a few hours of playin with it to get the thread tension set right, but after that i knocked out this holster in about 5 minutes and then did a belt in about 20. Very happy with it. Anybody that has one and knows of any tips or anything please let me know. Thank yall! Quote

Members colt1911 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 13, 2011 I wouldnt recommend it. All it takes is for the back stitch line to be off half a hair and you'll end up missing the groove and ruining your work. I tried that on a couple of pieces of scrap and the 2 out of 6 grooves that was actually lined up perfect came out looking good, but the other 4 looked hideous. I dont see anything wrong with not grooving the back, maybe someone else on here will have a different perspective.... Quote

Members Sixer Posted January 13, 2011 Members Report Posted January 13, 2011 Looks great! I've been wanting to make the jump and get a sewing machine... I have no idea where to start though. Quote
Members Haystacker Posted January 14, 2011 Members Report Posted January 14, 2011 Nice holster. It takes me about 20 minutes to sew a belt with a motored machine. Did you make the belt that you are wearing in the photo? Either way good looking belt too. Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted February 2, 2011 Members Report Posted February 2, 2011 I ordered one this afternoon as well. Anxiety is the word of the day. Any tips youd like to share from your experiences getting yours set up and running? Cheers! Quote
