Members malabar Posted August 11, 2015 Members Report Posted August 11, 2015 Billy, Your workmanship is exquisite! Do you mind my asking how you charge for such work? Is it based on an hourly figure? One thought: It's no longer considered a good idea to leave the trigger exposed on a carry holster for a revolver. tk Quote
Members Billy Hell Posted August 11, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) That is a modified Stohlman holster but great point! I got $100 for my 1880s paddle holster. Met Joe from the Nashville Leather Guild and he said I asked too little. I'm just learning so each holster is taking less time BUT $100 doesn't really cover my time, it is nice to stick $100 in your pocket though! A good friend of ours is also a singer songwriter (Kevin Welch). He is having a birthday party next Sunday so this week I'm tackling a fully tooled 2 1/2 inch guitar strap. Kevin's music (alt country/Texas Country): http://www.kevinwelch.com/ We have some original art from one of his albums so I took that and worked it into the strap. This proved harder to execute that I expected - 6 of these later I got this (included is the original art)... I'll antique it in the morning. Then I'll tackle tooling the strap. The tooling I'm not afraid of, it's the backgrounding I'm not looking forward too. Edited August 11, 2015 by Billy Hell Quote
