Members freetrapper Posted January 2, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 2, 2009 FROM ONE "FREETRAPPER" TO ANOTHER....."YOU DONE GOOD PRILGRIM"keep on posting. what other leather items do you do? What you see is all I have ever done. I did not even make my own buckskins or possibles bag. I had a friend do them for me. Actually it was the guy I made that last holster for.

Members CodeJockey Posted January 2, 2009 Members Report Posted January 2, 2009 I really like your work. I do have a question pertaining to the holster tensioner screw. How do you keep it from coming lose? do you have a thick rubber washer or spring in there, to add resistance? I've really been wanting to put one of these on one of my holsters, so that as time wears on and the leather stretches I can tension it back to a more snug fit, but I can't think of a way to add sufficient resistance to the screw. TIA! Quote

TIA! I am new to this so I do not know if it was the best or not but it worked. I used a short section of black rubber hose. I got it at the hardware store and it was made to be used for auto winshield washer fluid line. It seams to work well. Quote Just getting started, reading and learning.
Members Shorts Posted January 3, 2009 Members Report Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) freetrapper, I love your look - nice work! I dig the mag pouches. btw, the hose for the tension screws is about what I use as well. I use the clear line as its what I have around for the brake work on the bikes/trucks :D Edited January 3, 2009 by Shorts Quote
Members Jaymo Posted January 4, 2009 Members Report Posted January 4, 2009 Nice work. You look to be a southpaw like me. Quote
Members freetrapper Posted January 5, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys. I am learning as I go. And yes I am a southpaw............... Quote Just getting started, reading and learning.
Members freetrapper Posted January 18, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 18, 2009 Here is my latest attempt. I really like the style I have been doing with the wrap around sweat shield / mouth reinforcing. Quote Just getting started, reading and learning.
Members harley45 Posted January 19, 2009 Members Report Posted January 19, 2009 I like the bandolier holster. (glad to see another 10mm Whitetail hunter.) Would you happen to have a photo of that rig from the back. I'm curious about the strap set up. Thanks Quote
