wizard of tragacanth Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Been making holsters for some time but this is my first mag pouch. I got the idea a couple of weeks ago when someone was trying to figure out how to accomplish some particular task on their project. Sorry, I don’t remember who or what project it was. Anyway, I had suggested that they fold the leather under. Then, I decided to make a mag pouch using this method, just for fun. Here is the result. I had a little problem, I was distracted when I went to dye the inside of the pouch. I had a fully loaded dauber. Normally, I would squish half of it out, but this time, I didn't. This wild excess of dye, turned green. For me, it was a happy accident. I liked it! Reminds me of the Northern Lights. Critiques welcome. nick Leather: 2.15 mm Thread: Ritza 0.8 Navy Blue Dye: Fiebing’s Pro Navy Blue Edges: Tokonole Finish: Satin Shene Snaps: Tandy Line 20 Black Plate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted October 19, 2019 I rather like that. I'd have hit it with MOAR DYE!!! and damn near blacked it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefallguy Report post Posted October 19, 2019 The first think I thought was "I like the color" before I read the description. If it's repeatable that is a fortuitous discovery. I think your mag holder design would make a good multi-tool sheath as well. You could extend the loop strap over the top and snap it to the front and voila!

I daubed some extra on my maker's mark but it did not turn green as I had hoped, just darker navy. Here is a Leatherman case that I made for a friend of mine, maybe 6 years ago. He had the pliers on one end of this tool and complained that they always ate through the bottom of his cases. So, I made one like a holster. Can't chew through that! If you look closely at the stitching, you will see where I ran my over-stitcher too high and left five or six marks above the stitch line. Oh well, it was a freebie. nick Edited October 20, 2019 by wizard of tragacanth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
