Members Texasknight Posted December 6, 2011 Members Report Posted December 6, 2011 Hello all I'm new to the forum and new to leatherwork. I have made a few holsters but all have been from per cut kits. I really want to make an Avenger style holster but can't seem to find a pattern or how to make a pattern. I really like the ones on Particle's website but I only have an iPad to access the Internet so I can't download his videos. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote
Members Dwight Posted December 6, 2011 Members Report Posted December 6, 2011 The easiest trick for you would be to go to flea markets, gun shows, or look on Ebay, . . . get a used one similar to the one you would like to have, . . . buy it, . . . cut the stitches and rivets off, etc, . . . unfold it, . . . and you have a pattern. Then you get the practice of finishing it, . . . by stitching and putting it all back together. By then, you may have talked yourself out of wanting to continue, which would be a good and cheap lesson, . . . but if not, . . . it could be the cheapest beginning anyone ever got to a fun business. Don't laugh, . . . you would be totally surprized at the number of people making holsters who got their first lessons in that exact manner. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com

It is a tutorial on how to make an avenger holster including some patterns you can look out. Michael Quote The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. Bruce Lee
