Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 19, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah.. gittin some of the stuff cleared out (finally). Every year I clean out, offer some odd lots and left overs and pieces, maybe a few belt straps, to the boys who don't want to buy a whole cow. This year, I'm doing that BEFORE the end of the year inventory (hey, even I can have a good idea every 10 years or so! ) So, here's where the scraps are getting used up ... But that aint the 'show off' part o things. Standard "production work" from old designs I still get asked to do time to time. The COOL thing.. in the process of clearing and cleaning, I found almost a full side of 3/4 oz HO "B" iI forgot I had! Quote
Members LederRudi Posted November 19, 2015 Members Report Posted November 19, 2015 Very nice pieces of scrap leather! Finally a color photo of the Stohlman S&W.357 design, makes me want to try my hands on it myself. Wish I could carve that well! Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 19, 2015 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 19, 2015 OH.. thanks Rudi .. for the comments AND for reminding me that I always give credit where due. I would guess Mr. and Mrs. Stohlman like that people are still making that one! Incidentally, that book (how to make holsters) lists this as a .357, which covers a LOT of territory! I think 'back in the day' this was intended for the Model 28 N-frame revolver (educated guess only). This one, I 'kicked it in' a bit to suit that 686 L-frame. Oh, yeah --- I know that isn't a 'matched set'.. the belt went to someone else Quote
