gicts Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Well I've been hanging out in the background for awhile now and figured I'd contribute a bit. I started about a month ago with this holster and had never done any leather work before. then..... finally today's work, still needs a little more detail work I feel and see a nice progression Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paris3200 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Every once in a while when I get a little fed up because I'm still not where I want to be quality wise I do what you did here. I get out all my old holsters and line them up from the very first one to the latest. It helps me to see how far I've come. Even though I'm not where I want to be, I am getting close. Just gives you the energy to keep practicing. You've come a long way in a month. You should be proud. Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

$$hobby Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Everyone starts at the bottom. It all depends on how you try and learn from your mistakes. ALso, leathercraft is personal. Not everyone is going to make it exactly the same and you will add your personal touches here and there. youve done a good job too. what i ask myself is: 1. does it work as intended? 2. can i make it better the next time? 3. what changes would i do?

gicts Report post Posted June 30, 2008 thanks guys. Working with leather is quite addicting and a very nice stress reliever. Critiques are always welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shorts Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Awesome to see your progression. I have been thinking of doing the same, lining up my holsters as I have gone to each one to take pics and see how they've evolved. Keep up the good work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
