Welcome

I live just north of you in Centennial. About smokey hill and E-470. With all the colorado people here we should do a meet and greet.

Nice work. Is that hand stitched or done with a machine?

I like the idea of a meet and greet.. and I wish they were machine stitched, save me a ton of time, of course I'm going to have to sell a lot more holsters to get a machine.

Mighty fine looking work for "just getting started"! Welcome to the forum.

That's some real nice holster work for just starting out. Keep up the good work, buddy!

[Langston]

Thanks everybody, I put a couple on the gun forums, and talk about a bunch of snobs "I wouldn't buy one of those things" ahhh good... any ways I like em.. heres my latest

Looks good, one suggestion. Id stitch around the wings on the outside edge. It pulls the design together.

Welcome.

I stil say we need a meet and greet. I suggest we do it some Saturday or Sunday in Aug. That gives us time to plan.

Langston, I hear ya. My dad has been involved in the IHMSA (International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association) since the 70's and with several other organizations like the CAS for pretty brief periods of time. Most of the fellas he's met have been pretty awesome, but there's always a handful of pretentious asses that have their noses up in the air about every little detail. Don't sweat it too much, bro. You do solid work, for sure. It's probably more their jealousy talking, rather than their honest opinion because they have to buy their holsters.

Welcome to the forum from another Coloradoan. Don't let anyone put your work down. You've got talent for someone just starting off, and you should keep at.

Man its been awhile since I've been online.. here's a few projects I've done. I'll have to find more pictures of other projects. Trying out tattooing on leather.
