New Guy Wanted To Say Hello (:^)

[Shooter McGavin]

Wow, it's weird to see my name on that list.

You know, I'm only a little bit North of you. If you wanted to swing by for a few hours one weekend and huff contact cement I'll be happy to show you a few things.

Thank you for the offer. Thats very kind. That will help me tremendously.

I will send you a message through the forum this week and hopefully I can get out to your place soon.

I have to second Katsass's recommending the "0" size needles. I bought some 0 and 00 not knowing anything about them and 00 is too large for me to use...if anyone wants a 10 pk of 00 harness needles let me know and I'll give them to you. There is one piece of equipment that i personally could not make holsters without and use way more then the drill press. It's a 4x36 belt sander. I use it for everything from truing up the holster halves after cutting them out to final shaping and even edge beveling...i would be dead in the water without it.

I don't think Hermann oak makes double shoulders/backs. I believe they only offer sides so that would mean single shoulders and backs. At least that's all I can get from site sponsor Springfield Leather.

I'm looking forward to seeing you post up pics of your first projects here. One of the things I really like about this site is watching people improve with each project they do.
