Members Tinbender Posted August 11, 2016 Members Report Posted August 11, 2016 I am having a blast filling orders for custom holsters! I am going on a blue gun buying rampage. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Quote
Members Rustwa Posted August 11, 2016 Members Report Posted August 11, 2016 Do you have any tricks you can share for keeping the definition in your basket weave pattern when you form the holster? Yours look great. Mine tend to lose definition when I make the fold. Do you wet form after stamping at all? Quote
Members Tinbender Posted August 11, 2016 Author Members Report Posted August 11, 2016 I would say that the most important thing to do is to make sure that tou have "slicked" the leather before you tool. Get your leather wet for casing, and immediately rub the leather with a hardwood rubbing stick or glass slicker. And then make sure you are getting a good deep impression while your leather is cased properly. Try to take the stretch out before you try ro form it, it will make a better looking product. Thanks for the compliment and i hope this helps. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 Love these holsters. The basket weave border holster looks insanely hard. Quote
Members bland Posted August 14, 2016 Members Report Posted August 14, 2016 Very nice! Do you get a lot of orders for cross draw holsters? Quote
Members Tinbender Posted August 14, 2016 Author Members Report Posted August 14, 2016 Not very often. This order was orignally going to just be one, and then three more customers jumped once the saw the first. I have since had a request for a matching "back draw" from one of these customers. Quote
