Still haven't contacted ALL these people. Did get another estimate back.  $150 seems a bit steep for a fairly simple holster blank die, but I guess if that's what ya gotta spend to git'er done right ....

Thanks, Pt... adding that to the list.  I did get a response from Allison at Progressive Service Die Co... no estimate yet as I didnt' specify die height.  My mistake.

Ordered a couple from Intl.  Friendly lady obviously has some real knowledge of the process.

Just seeing this post.  Weaver makes clicker dies in house as well.  We can take any file as far as I know, including CAD as well as traced drawings, or cut patterns in the mail.  No obligation for a quote.  We strive to keep lead times at a week, sometimes they stretch out 2 weeks depending on how busy they are.  We can take your die orders even if you are not a wholesale customer.  Any questions, or if you want a quote send me a pm on here or an email at Dustint@weaverleather.com and I will get you in contact with the guy who does the die quotes.  Our standard steel rule is 4x32mm Viking made in Austria.

I don't sell steel rule dies and have no intention of doing so.

That said: I decided about a year ago I would like to learn how to make steel rule dies, not the heavy clicker dies. I found a company with a lady that knows her business that helped me along the path of equipment and dies to use in making same. I bought a manual die making machine on e-bay for $300 and have accumulated a few dies. A very high learning curve on what dies you need and what type/hardness of rule you need. After making several I am learning a small bit about making them. Made parts for a purse I made my wife with some I made.  Yes, you need a welder but it can be a small unit that runs on 120v. 20Amp ckt. (I use a 30 amp circuit) with a 10 gauge cable I made up. I can do Flux Core wire or gas with solid wire. Beautiful little machine.

You need to understand I am supposed to be retired so am also supposed to have more free time and fun. I do have fun but have little to no free time. LOL

That is great!  I've had an interest in making some steel rule dies but it's just one of the many things on the list of things to learn.

I hope we can compare notes someday.

You can buy custom steel rule dies retail and you just have to pay sales tax.  Again, if you want a quote, send me an email.  No obligation to buy...
