Beer Holster

[ArtS]

My son saw a picture of a beer holster that I had saved off the net and asked if I'd make him one. Here is a quickie I made him this weekend.

Instead of just the holster I also made the belt with inert bullets. The holster can also just be used with a regular belt. It snaps together to make the belt loop.

Great idea Drac. Maybe a pivot and a weight on the bottom. Gotta keep it from spilling. I might have to make one for the CAN people. Hmm, damn now i'm thinking of making one.

I'm stealing that idea....

Maybe you should make loops to hold pretzels or slim jims instead of bullets.

If you figure out a way to swivel it let me know! Good idea. Someone else suggested a double rig. Maybe instead of bullets it should be shot glasses!Of course yours will have to be in black patten leather. ArtSOr a bandoleer with Slim Jims! Now this is a constructive discussion!ArtS

Look in some boating catalogs, I think they are called gimbaled cup holders, swivel in a bunch of direction like a boat is bound to do, or after a few at the local watering hole there is no telling which way people will sway.

I think this is the neatest thing I've seen posted here in a long time. Way to go!

I have been working on a few hammer

holders for my employees. My brother

said he needed his to swivel as his old

one which keeps the hammer from popping

out when it hits the scaffold. Anywho on

the subject at hand. I had no luck finding

a place to buy the hardware to make a

swivel. I did however find a place that

sold hammer holders that swivel for a

buck fifty.I believe with a little thinking

you could easily figure out how to flatten

the metal holder then surround it with

leather thus making a swivel beer holder.

Albeit since I do not partake in the

consumption of mind altering drugs of

the solid or liquid varieties I would use

mine for holding water. Here is the link to

the inexpensive swivel hammer holders.

Oh yea it would not take much to grind off

the rivets then attach it to your work with

new rivets.

For the swivel you could use a radio type swivel used often in Law Enforcement Duty Rigs.

The radio extends down and needs to swivel in order to sit.

The slotted male portion has to be rotated around in order to be released from the female holder. It would be easy to

incorporate into the holster and belt. The if needed the beer holster could be removed from the belt and other attachements could be made to replace it. Maybe a larger holster for a 5th of Whiskey. In the case of hammers, maybe you can swap it for other tool holders.

At $3.50 or so they are pretty reasonable.
