Contributing Member fredk Posted December 7, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted December 7, 2018 Up to you how far you wanna go; I'd make a simple one. One big back piece which includes the front flap. A bit of a welt and one front piece. The flap part of the back comes over the top and is held closed by a Sam Brown stud. One wide-ish bit on the back for the belt to slip thru. The belt loop can be riveted on. Using soft leather for the front it'll stretch enough to hold a whole bunch of 8 round caps.

Members JazzBass Posted December 7, 2018 Members Report Posted December 7, 2018 What a GREAT uncle!! That's SOoooo cool, especially for a 5yo. It's something he'll appreciate more and more as the years go by - it looks sturdy enough to stand up to a rambunctious kid! LOL! Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan
alpha2 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 Lucky boy! I didn't realize you could still buy cap guns. How'd they let that slip through? I fondly remember my Fanner 50's. Now, there was some firepower! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

I'll have to use a strap or snap as I don't have any sort use. But I think the construction is a good method. 31 minutes ago, alpha2 said: Lucky boy! I didn't realize you could still buy cap guns.

I bought it on Amazon haha. 5 hours ago, JazzBass said: What a GREAT uncle!! That's SOoooo cool, especially for a 5yo.

Maybe use a slit and a big button or wood toggle - easier for wee hands. . . . and quicker cos yer cowboy haz gotta get to his ammo quick afore he's a deader edit; PS. I think I'll knock one up tonite or tomorrow, jus cos I wanna. Edited December 7, 2018 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
