Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Looking for a couple of experienced leather stitchers to assemble, stitch & finish a holster-style product we are selling. You will need a medium to heavy harness stitcher with stirrup plate and experience using it. Opportunity to make some decent money using your equipment - experience required! We supply the parts and instructions - we'll ship back & forth using ups. We're in Northern Colorado - email George at gwhistlecreek (at) aol (dot) com Thanks!

George,

Have you considered using the flat rate boxes from the USPS?

George:

I highly recommend Mr. Ashley Schildknecht at Snake Horse Saddlery. He has assisted me with sewing on a couple of occasions. His work it top notch and he gets it done in a timely manner.

Best regards,

George is not looking for gun holsters to be made; it's actually camera cases. You'll need at least a cylinder arm machine (like the Artisan Toro 3000 or similar), stirrup needle plate, and at least 5-10 years of leathercraft experience. The cases are a challenge for anyone with less than that level of experience or without the proper equipment to sew the cases together.

Camera cases? That's a little off the grid when one leads folks to believe it's holsters. Or, even "holster-style." I don't do contract work, but I do appreciate a candid post. Translated, that means "honest." You could also say, forthright, straight-up, etc.

Misleading is generally not necessary, and it doesn't inspire confidence. Hell, this isn't a singles bar.

Something smells funny about this deal. Holsters and camera cases are two very different things.

Thanks, Johanna.

When K-Man jumped in and clarified what this was about it set off alarms.

There's no reason for concern here, as George is a legitimate business seeking someone to contract this work to. He just used terminology, i.e., "holster," that most of us would associate with gun holsters rather than camera cases.
