Suggested tools for holster and belt making?

[Blackey Cole]

I didn’t read every reply so this might have been covered. At a time a few years back I was making holster day in day out.  The best informative video on western gun belts and holsters was done by bianici(sp) you were able to get it through leather crafters and saddle ans journal at one time that’s where I got my soppy and patterns until you learn what a good holster looks and fits like. Unless you going to make gun buckets and call them holsters big difference.  
 

‘’the other thing I found extremely helpful was a rotary tool that would hold a 1/16” twist drill bit unless you have a heavy duty sewing machine that will sew 1/2” leather. You can use an awlbut the drill bit is easier and faster. You will ever know if done correctly.

 

the last thing I recommend is blue gunforms of the models you plan on supporting.
