SaintNick Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Hi everyone. I became interested in leather working because I could not find a holster I liked. I saw a bunch of custom work online and said heck, I can work on just about anything. Why not cow hide? My wife got me a few starter kits from Tandy Christmas of 2017 and I finally found the hobby I had searched for my whole life! Now I find myself at the shooting range a lot less and at my desk playing with my leather all the time. Glad I found where everyone hangs out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Your story sounds familiar! But, when I am at the shooting range, people ask about my fine holsters and gun belts! Where are you located? Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Hopefully I can irritate you into learning even more To begin the irritation, check out and download some [free] holster patterns and PUH LEEZE alter them so they're more betterer. https://www.jlsleather.com/diy/holster-patterns-diy/ Instead of dumpin ammo at the range, you can dump your BUSINESS CARDS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintNick Report post Posted December 29, 2018 8 hours ago, JLSleather said: that DOES look familiar. Looks like you mighta skipta stitch 'er 2? I combined two different patterns on that one. I liked the cleaner look of the one without the stitching around the top and the rear belt loop. It's for a good friend who is going to wear it probably every blue moon or so. It was a rush job for a gift that I finished on Christmas day haha. I like the 1911 holster I made for another friend even better. For some reason I forgot to take pics after I slicked the edges and added the snaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fallequinox Report post Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Haha! I think we're using the same patterns! (I did without the snap) Great work! Edited January 3, 2019 by fallequinox added pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintNick Report post Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks! I used patterns from Adams Leather and JLS and sort of combined elements I liked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
