Members Rolandranch Posted May 22, 2018 Members Report Posted May 22, 2018 Howdy folks! Just finished my second holster for a client. I still have to make the gun belt and fully tool it.... but I don't want to think about that right now. Tooling pattern is my own and the shape of the holster was copied off the original holster. There's still plenty of room for improvement but you know... I'll get there eventually. Let me know what you think! Comments/critique always welcome. Cool gun belt coming soon.... -Ryan Quote
alpha2 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Posted May 22, 2018 Once again, amazed by your talent. I was going to post a pic of my latest Single Six holster...maybe not! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

alpha2 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 All done except for the Resolene. I promise I'll get a pic up when it's finished. Frankly, it's not as good as the last one I did for the Ruger, but this one I'll keep, really miss the one I shipped out! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

Members koreric75 Posted May 23, 2018 Members Report Posted May 23, 2018 Very awesome, I've slacked on my tooling lately, picked up my swivel knife the other night and remembered how much I enjoyed it...lol. Quote Machines currently in use: Cowboy 3200, Adler 67-372, Singer 66, Singer 15-91

Members plinkercases Posted May 23, 2018 Members Report Posted May 23, 2018 That is very classic looking work Roland. Al Stohlman would be proud of you! Cant wait to see the belt..... no pressure though! You are setting your own bar pretty high off the get go.

Members Scoutmom103 Posted May 23, 2018 Members Report Posted May 23, 2018 Very nice. Love how you tooled the strap for the buckle on the holster as well. Quote

Members Earl Ash Posted May 23, 2018 Members Report Posted May 23, 2018 Beautiful work! I do have a confession... I have been at this for years and seeing your work makes me think I should take up another hobby! You have a bright future in this craft! Well done sir! Quote
Members KingsCountyLeather Posted May 23, 2018 Members Report Posted May 23, 2018 Very nice work! As usual. Not knowing anything about guns... What is the string made from? and how does it work? Quote
Members doublehbar Posted May 23, 2018 Members Report Posted May 23, 2018 Beautiful work! I think you are going to have a lifelong career in this field. Quote

I'll be sure to post the belt with the holster when it's done. I'm pretty busy this week but I MIGHT have it done by next week. Thankfully, I'm homeschooled and my summer classes only require about 2 hours of my day so I'm blessed to be able to do what I'm doing. As far as setting the bar... How is a guy going to get anywhere if he doesn't set the bar higher every time he reaches it? Thank you for the compliment! -Ryan Quote

I thought about tooling the keeper as well but decided against it because I thought it might look too messy with the stitching. 6 hours ago, JLSleather said: Looks purdy good, kid.

It is braided leather but unfortunately, I discovered that it is synthetic and wears fast. So I'll probably replace it with the real deal. We'll see. 53 minutes ago, doublehbar said: Beautiful work!
