OK...So I got some bad advise today (Not from here...At a local store :ranting2: ). so my 1st holster is not going turn out to be exactly what I'd hoped. The stitching is going to be horrible (at least part of it).

I need to figure out what size diamond shaped awl and what size needles I should be using. I guess to go w/it I should also get the correct size thread. Any help w/this will turn the other half of the holster into practicing the proper stitching.

I've also learned that the Pro Leather kit from Tandy has a lot of stuff I don't need for holsters and not a lot of stuff I do need. Oh well, live & learn. Maybe I'll grow into it!

Well, making some booboos is a learning opportunity. The longer you keep doing leather, the more booboos you'll make and the more you learn - it doesn't stop! :spoton:

I use the things I posted in your What Tools Are Needed thread

For needles I use Harness Needles size 000
