benlilly1 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 What is the best way to form leather like for a gun holster or anything that you want to make the leather to shape around? I assume the leather is cased? Also how much larger do you cut the leather to accommodate for the shaping? Is there also certain weights that are best for forming? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks You could try (using an over sized piece of soaking wet veg tan leather) folding the leather over the gun (use either a dummy or one well wrapped in cling film) put it on a flat surface and weigh it down with a sand bag and a few cement block on top and leave it for a day or two. trim it to shape and sew it when it has set in its new shape Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
