Great handsewing suggestion from Will Ghormley

[Les No6]

Let me qualify my original statement to say that I meant "noone" does handsewing in the context of

commercially mass produced crap. Obviously, the fine members of this forum are exceptions to

that generalization...the work of the people here is top notch.

I can see you've never been to Walsall England, here's a video of factory production saddlery in Walsall the lady's doing the hand stitching are dedicated hand stitches that's all they do 5 days a week;

Now that's a little too much therapy lol, keep in mind that Antipaladin did say "commercially mass produced crap" now this company certainly does not produce crap, and they know the benefits & value of hand stitching as pointed out in the video, safety, integrity & strength.

I always enjoy going to Will's site and looking at all the cool items he's making. I really appreciate how he is happy to give instruction to those that want to try to replicate what he is doing.

Thanks for the link to his galary.

I love that old stitching horse he's using. Bet it's been used to make so many cool items. Boy...if it could talk.

Thanks again.

I know it must be tempting for those who make holsters ONLY to use the machine. Personally, it's laziness that CAUSES me to handstitch a holster! I make other "stuff", and by the time I swap out thread, adjust tensions, test the settings, get the holster in the machine -- I could have been done hand sewing it and not had to adjust all of that BACK to where it was

Okay, all that said, I admit that I often run the gun BELT through the machine (right behind the 6" wide size 44 weight lifting belt).

That stitchin horse is purdy though.
