mliebs8 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Here's a couple of pictures of two holsters I just finished. I'm really looking forward to the drum dyed leather to get here so I can see how they look dyed. This weekend I was bored so I just finished moulding 7 more so I can finish them up during the week. <center> <img src="http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k56/mliebs8/DSCN2024.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br> <img src="http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k56/mliebs8/DSCN2023.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br><br> </center> Quote
Randyc Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Your holster are sure looking good to me. Right now I'm building another IWB holster for a Makarov. This one I might have run my stitch line a little to close to the trigger guard. The pistol fits a little too tight. It may end up in the mistake box. I look foward to hearing your feedback on the drum died leather you bought. Are you molding by hand or using a press? Randy Quote Randy Cooley Bulldog Custom Gun Leather www.bulldogleathercompany.com

Are you molding by hand or using a press?Randy I'm using a press, I bought a 20 ton press from Northern Tool and had some plates made for it. I also bought some of the gum rubber sheets from McMasters, I'm using two on top and two on the bottom. I know what you mean about sewing, I had one yesterday that I hit the gas pedal by mistake. I'm just glad I didn't sew my fingers to the holster. I'm really excited about getting the new leather, I'm only going black for now but I have some color samples coming with it so I'm sure I'll end up with 2 or 3 colors. After my sewing mishap yesterday I started using the machine without shoes so I can get a better feel for the pedals because their so close together. I've had a couple that I sewed too close to the trigger, one worked but the other ended up going to the landfill. Edited February 3, 2008 by mliebs8 Quote
