BoRo Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Hi to all from the Salzburg Region. I am no leatherworker at all, but would say that i am pretty handy with tooling. I recently bought myself an UMAREX BB CO2 Colt (I love John Wayne) and was desperatly searching for a Holster... Thx to Google I found this forum and I have seen quite a lot beautiful pieces of craftmanship :-) I read since about 1 month, watched tons of Videos, downloaded quite a lot of PDF and Workshops and came to the conclusion that I wanted to start a new hobby ... :-) But I still have a few Questions and maybe someone can help me: 1) Veg tan Leather, 8-9 ounces for a holster ... but from which part of the "cow" (neck, shoulder..) shall I take? 2) If making a non lined holster - with what shall I smoothen the "inside" of the leather? 3) Most Important: Where can I order Leather, dye, needles and tools here in austria or Germany, since the shipping costs from US are way too high? To be honest - I don't really want to spend a fortune in material before no knowing, if this is something I really like to do ... so a "beginner" set would be fine ... Thx to the mods and the useres for this great forum :-) cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
