splinters Posted December 24, 2018 Report Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) About to get started again, after a long absence, building Jeff’s pancake pattern for the Glock 43 holster. Jeff cut a parts kit for me back then and I’m now checking on what I need to get started so ordered some Barge All Purpose Cement as a starter since I don’t have any contact cement. Now for some suggestions on a punch I have been wanting, if you would, on the size of an Osborne #151 Bag/ Oblong punch. The belt I would like to use with the holster measures 1-1/2 inches wide x 7/32nds thick. Looking at a catalog I see Osborne has a 1-5/8” x 7/32” oblong punch but wondering if I should go to the 1/4“ which would make the oblong 1-7/8 inches long. Jeff, hope I haven’t posted this in the wrong thread. Looking forward to getting back to the project. P.S. Wishing you all a blessed evening and day tomorrow.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 24, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 24, 2018 Well, SHOOOT - I cudda punched the slots if I knew that! I had slot punches made by Sandy 'n' friends at INTL DIE and by the foiks at USA Cutting Die (TX custom)-- both work well. Mine are 1.5" x just under 1/4", so when I burnish the slot I END UP with 1/4" wide. You could get away with a tad wider side to side, but I like em close vertically. Don't remember what I paid fer 'em , but I'm pretty sure it's LESS than those osborne punches, and mine actually cut Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 28, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 28, 2018 Holster patterns still where they were -- just the side bar has changed.

Members fallequinox Posted December 28, 2018 Members Report Posted December 28, 2018 I just found this thread and downloaded patterns. Thank you for sharing all of these JLSLeather! I will post pics as soon as I make something with these patterns. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 31, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Ran into a fella at a gun show yesterday --- said he just bought a holster from somebody else for a pistol that I am working on a design for. Pretty new gun. So I said 'cool-send me a picture of it'. And gave him my card with the phone num on it. But instead of the pic of the HOLSTER I thought he was gonna send, the guy sent me a screen shot of the web site where he got it. YIKES! Those designs look real familiar, considerin' I'm NOWHERE NEAR south carolina Seriously, fellas - those designs are FREE and I MEANT that they get used. And nobody needs to give credit for the designs, I've never even asked that. But do you know how SAD you look when you're all up on the web site proclaiming them as your OWN original design? MAN, my regret here is that I won't be there to see that guy's face when he gets to MY site and sees the same designs, done better...and for almost $100 less Probably just as well I didn't see the site until after I left, or I likely would have corrected that guy's information right there with 100 other people.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 23, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 23, 2019 We cleared out those downloads - site is now FLYIN' FAST We aren't doing patterns with any regularity - not free ones, not paid ones, not with a fox Doesn't mean I won't suddenly post something random at some random time Meanwhile, you folks that downloaded those (nearly a quarter of a million times) don't be bashful about passin' 'em on when somebody needs one!
