Ethan Report post Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) My mom runs a business doing estate sales in the DC area, which sometimes requires her to put price tags on 100s or 1000s of items in a day. This apparently requires the use of scissors and Sharpie markers, which she usually tosses in her jeans pockets. I suggested one of these http://www.duluthtra...mended_products but she doesn't wear a belt. So for the holidays I made her this scissor/Sharpie holster, my first attempt at anything holster-like. Turned out surprisingly well, thanks in large part to the info I gleaned from this forum.....Thanks! Leather: 5-7 oz hard-rolled horsehide from Pete Olsen at Horween Dye: Fiebing's red oil dye Thread: black nylon waxed from Zack White, 6 spi I think #2 edger Rivets: Tandy's extra small Clips: Tandy, their simplest & smallest Edges: per Hidepounder's tutorial, though without power tools Finish: a couple coats of Mop-N-Glo 50:50 with water, followed by a homemade wax finish on the front (equal parts neatsfoot, paraffin, and beeswax) I used some saddle soap to smooth/burnish the back before finishing http://s1194.photobu...leantechPtypes/ Edited December 28, 2011 by Ethan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
