Madmax500000 Report post Posted October 26, 2018 Recent project I finished up lined and tooled holster for a buddy up in Washington state. I was worried how it was going to turn out being molded and tooled but all is well. Back side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garypl Report post Posted October 27, 2018 Nice job! Angle looks kind of steep - did he specify that much of a forward cant? Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madmax500000 Report post Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Yes he wanted something with a bit more angle so he could wear on his hip but also behind his hip at the 4:00 position. So that’s what he got. I took my time on the edges since I had already put so much work on everything else. And thank for all the compliments. I’ve only started doing leather in March so every project I learn something new and it nice to have the positive reinforcement from this great community. I’ve learned so much from just reading through all the content on this site. I can only imagine the struggles craftsman had before the internet and YouTube.

chrisash Report post Posted October 27, 2018 I think it may look better is you use a straight needle for work which has curves, as slanted needles can look great on straight line, but wallow around on outward and inward curves around a shape. Hand sewing is different as not normally such tight turns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted October 27, 2018 I think it looks pretty good. I tried molding some tooled leather once and it didn't look like that when I finished Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
