Frank Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 Hey all, I haven't been on in a long time due to a show, being busy and a bunch of family stuff. Here are some photos of things that I have done while being away. A chest rig for a Ruger Blackhawk, A knife sheath to match a holster I built a few years ago, a double rig with web belt and cartridge pouch, 1881 flap holster without markings, a scalloped edge knife sheath, Cheyenne holster for a single six, a Tom Threepersons holster for a single six, a double rig for cap and ball revolvers, and a pair of Duke holsters for 5" Schofields.

Members camano ridge Posted May 2, 2014 Members Report Posted May 2, 2014 Youve been busy, very nice work. Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted May 2, 2014 Members Report Posted May 2, 2014 Your work is an inspiration Frank, thanks for posting it! Best regards, Josh Quote
Frank Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks everyone, I do appreciate the compliments. Josh, no worries about the convention back in March. Things got hectic with me too. Hopefully some other time we'll get a chance to meet and hang out. Frank Quote
Members Eaglestroker Posted May 2, 2014 Members Report Posted May 2, 2014 Frank, all great as expected. That said the web belt really stands out. Where in the world did you find the webbing in a small quantity? (or did you?) Quote
Frank Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks again. The webbing had to be ordered in either 500 yard or 1000 yard increments. The last time I ordered, I got on here and 2 other people contacted me and we split a full order. I plan on doing the same thing in the near future. Frank Quote
Members LederRudi Posted May 3, 2014 Members Report Posted May 3, 2014 I keep returning to your post for yet another look at your work. Great inspiration indeed! Some of those holsters are obviously lined. Do you glue inside and outside together before bending the leather? If you do, how do you prevent the tooling from being flattened out by the stretch caused by the bending? Quote
Frank Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks very much. I rarely get requests for lined holsters but that part of the hide was thinner than most so I decided to line those two (after letting the customer know) I glued the liner then folded and didn't really have an issue with the tooling flattening out because I wet the leather before folding. It takes a lot of the stress away. Frank Quote
Members LederRudi Posted May 7, 2014 Members Report Posted May 7, 2014 Frank, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Rudi Quote
Frank Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Posted May 11, 2014 No problem Rudi. Glad I could help. Frank Quote
