Members Madmax500000 Posted December 22, 2018 Members Report Posted December 22, 2018 Recent project I just finished for a guy out in California that does competitive paintball. Definitely a challenge to make everything fit and be comfortable with the size of the paintball guns. Everything was hand stitched definitely need to get a machine. All veg tan 5/6 and 8/9 oz leather. Used 1mm thread from makers leather supply awesome thread, and can’t beat the price. Fiebings russet brown dye. Antique copper hardware from tandy. Had a great time designing this and working with the customer. Hope for many more projects like this in the future. Quote
Members JazzBass Posted December 22, 2018 Members Report Posted December 22, 2018 Nice rig!...and COMPLICATED. It must have taken a lot of time just to make a pattern for this. The harness is bad-@$$, and the holsters and pouches, beautiful. Great Job! Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan
Members YinTx Posted December 22, 2018 Members Report Posted December 22, 2018 Looks like a top notch rig! A whole lot of design work in that! YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
Members Madmax500000 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Members Report Posted December 22, 2018 Thank y’all for the compliments. Yes it definitely took some planning and forward thinking about how I wanted everything to attach and not to bulky. I think I got a little lucky also this was my first attempt at a shoulder holster.

Members plinkercases Posted December 23, 2018 Members Report Posted December 23, 2018 That's some piece of work i wouldn't want to conceal that (not that he could) definitely want his buddies to see envy and ORDER? Tap that market for sure... i build a lot for the airgun and airsoft folks up here. Nothing yet for the marker shooters. Lets see what you do next!

Members battlemunky Posted December 23, 2018 Members Report Posted December 23, 2018 DUDE! That is a great rig! It is amazing what we can pull off sometimes, especially on first swings at stuff. You done real good! Quote
Members falcon45 Posted December 23, 2018 Members Report Posted December 23, 2018 All I can say is WOW! Great job! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Posted December 24, 2018 Spectacular job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members ComputerDoctor Posted December 24, 2018 Members Report Posted December 24, 2018 Beautiful and ingenious:) Your 'hand stitching,' looks as good as machine stitching???? Sam Quote
Members Madmax500000 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted December 25, 2018 Thanks for all the positive feedback. It was a lot of stitching. Make me want to start looking for a machine (I’m open to suggestions). I definitely hope that I can get a piece of the paintball market. I think it might be one of the last untapped areas haven’t seen a whole lot of custom leather goods show up there ( fingers crossed). Quote

Members Bant Posted August 28, 2021 Members Report Posted August 28, 2021 That is so far beyond my skill set! Would you please elaborate on the thong(s) on the bottom of the mag pouches? Again, stellar work, absolutely stellar. Quote
Members Hags Posted September 1, 2021 Members Report Posted September 1, 2021 Very, very nice! I have a cobra class 3, I love it. Kinda wish I'd gone the few extra bucks for the class 4. Just a little more room would be nice. I also want to get a mannequin to hang stuff on during design and fitting up. Great work! Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
