MADMAX22 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Hey guys I thought the idea of the Tandy light and mutlitool was kind of cool so I made this which is kind of a spin off of that. Its for christmas and is going to be sent with a gerber tool similer to the one in it as a present. I put the initials on there but didnt want a whole bunch of stuff so just carved them in and called it good. Took a couple before the DIP then dunked it in vinagaroon. I still gotta get it oiled and put a coat or two of snowseal on it. This was actually my second attempt at this one but Im pretty satisfied with it. Maybe change a few minor things next time. As allways up for any suggestions or critique. Quote

Ambassador abn Posted December 1, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted December 1, 2008 I agree... Really nice job there. -Alex Quote
MADMAX22 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for the input guys. I think that I have it worked out enough now that I may do a couple more, one for myself and a couple for some guys at work. Quote
ArtS Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Turned out really good. Now you need to repaint your light to match that nice holster. Art Quote
MADMAX22 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Posted December 3, 2008 Heres another one I finished tonight. Another gift for someone. Used a belt clip on this one and did a little beveling on the initials. I am just wondering if I did the belt clip correctly. It seems that all thats really holding it in there is the rivit. I guess thats how it is suppose to work right. Quote
Members Ezilth Posted December 6, 2008 Members Report Posted December 6, 2008 It came out very good, and clean. Though I might suggest a new MagLite for a gift rather than a used one Quote
MADMAX22 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 It came out very good, and clean. Though I might suggest a new MagLite for a gift rather than a used one LOL yes that is my old school light that is used for fitting and such. It is not included. Thanks for the comments everyone. I kind of screwed up a tad on the last one though as the hardware was installed prior to dipping and it tarnished the metal a bit and Im sure got to the rivit as well. Still it will serve its purpose as it is gonna see some seriouse abuse which will be a good test to its stamina. If it brakes or comes apart Ill make em a new one (hopefully not too soon lol) Quote

electrathon Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 I am just wondering if I did the belt clip correctly. It seems that all thats really holding it in there is the rivit. I guess thats how it is suppose to work right. You did it correct. The rivit is all that holds it in place. Another method would have been to cut a slit and not use the second layer of leather on the rear of the sheath, it would be a little thinner that way. Quote
