Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 12, 2013 Members Report Posted January 12, 2013 I'd look into using Sno-Seal on it. Did you use pop rivets on the corners? Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.

Members jpaltan Posted January 12, 2013 Members Report Posted January 12, 2013 Beautiful case. Really like the contrast on the reinforcement corners and the handle compared to the rest of the leather (though not sure if it just a contrast via the photo) I would have cut the binding straps from that same leather to unify the color a bit if leaving a natural finish. (though this advice comes from someone who has made a knife case and a watch band, so not sure if I have any weight in comments or criticism). What did you use for the egg crate material? I'm looking into building a pistol case for a 1911 and some ammo (if I can ever find some again) and am concerned about different padding materials wicking the oil from the gun. Quote
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 12, 2013 Members Report Posted January 12, 2013 I'd say if you have enough oil on it to wick away you have too much. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members renegadelizard Posted January 14, 2013 Members Report Posted January 14, 2013 not much else to add here..that is some fine work...very creative and to be done with out a store bought pattern is really something... Quote Havoc Holsters
Members DHopper Posted January 14, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks so much everyone! I'm loving it more every day. I've gotten one good even coat of our vegetable oil on it this weekend. It really gave it a rich golden color. I'll need to topcoat it for the final step. Think i'll use the 50/50 mop-n-glo & water treatment. Cheap, easy, it works great, and I've got some in the cabinet. I used the foam from a cheap gun case from Walmart. It came with the top and bottom egg crate, as well as the 1 1/2" pick & pluck foam. Just had to trim about an inch off one edge. I might try to work up a pic/video tutorial when I do another one. I'm going to do a small single revolver case, too. In that one ill try to do the felt custom interior. Quote Dave dhcustomwork.com
