Members pmieras2000 Posted January 29, 2020 Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 I finally got to do a western inspired belt. Customer gave me free range to do what I wanted with a few requests. Needed to be cross draw... Well I guess that was it. I thoroughly enjoyed putting this together. The holster is about a 7-9oz lined with 2-3oz. Belt is the same, just went with a chap leather for the liner. Up to this point, it was the most hand stitching I have ever done. The customer loved it. Just thought I would share a few pics. Always love seeing everyone else's pics so it was time to share some of mine. Quote

Members Dwight Posted January 29, 2020 Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 Looked good from here, . . . only thing I saw missing were the cartridge loops, . . . then I realized it was a cap and ball Ruger, . . .

CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 29, 2020 CFM Report Posted January 29, 2020 wow that is some fine work indeed. That belt took some time I'll bet.

Good job.......... May God bless, Dwight Correct was bummed I couldn't do bullet loops because of cap and ball. I am working on a restoration of a rig that will include bullet loops. It's a piece that has a lot of sentimental value to the customer. He wants it modified from 45LC to 357 and as many loops as it can fit. Will post pics soon Quote

Members JSage Posted January 29, 2020 Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 Absolutely Outstanding! May I ask, what die and color did you use, and did you die the ( very clean ) edges with the same die? JS Quote
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted January 29, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted January 29, 2020 That is a lot of hand stitching and you did it well. It looks great.
