Members katsass Posted March 13, 2011 Members Report Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Back in February my grandson called me and told me that he wanted to do a leather project. A few days later he showed up and said that his project was a holster for a Rossi .38 wheel gun. I grabbed a file folder and had him trace the outline of the gun, and we started from there. He decided on a modified Threeperson's type holster......with the trigger guard covered, so I did a little scribbling, erasing, and more scribbling, and ended up with a pattern that met his requirements and was to his liking. He cut out the pattern, transferred it to leather and cut the leather. I shot the dye in the way he wanted. From there on I showed him what needed to be done for each step.......and away he went. He listened well and worked carefully (he even included my maker's mark). The final product is shown here. Unknown to me he posted it on this forum in the "Show-Off" section back then, but I'm proud enough of his work to show it again here.

At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses. Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
