This entire listing is a very good read and thanks for the Min wax Polycrylic tip. That holster rig not only has a nice look, I can see practicality all over, good leather should be put to good use. One process I use for some controled but fast drying is a Hair-Dryer. Thanks.

I am using a NuWave Oven. The low setting is 106° F

Another woodworking finish that wroks, and sprays nicely is General Finishes Exterior 450, which I use on some archery stuff. I cut it 10% with water. So far no delamination or crazing.

I made this set yesterday from scratch. Dying leather, cutting, sewing (machine), shaping, polishing, taking photos, eating and drinking coffe in the meantime... so all of it... started 9:15 and finished around 15:00... did some smaller things along the way... 250$... considering it was monday I think that's ok

edit:

it's for a smith&wesson 686, 4 inch, 357 magnum revolver, little pouch holds 6 bullets and the leather belt is 2 ply of premium vege tanned leather (same as the holster and the pouch), solid brass buckle and screws, waxed thread and what not...

Beautiful set up! What color/brand of dye did you use? As well as what finish? Thanks in advance!!

thanx man!! For the edges I use Costabril, Omac, Kenda and other italian brands, depending on what I find on the market at the time...

for the leather surface I use the same brands... for the polish I found this water based thing that I'll check the name..

cheers!
