Members cbossio Posted June 22, 2020 Members Report Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I made this for a guy at work. It was a father's day gift for his dad. I've made a few holsters before but this is the first one I've actually felt good about. It's not perfect but it's the fist time I've looked at a finished product and seen more beauty than flaw. Unfortunately, I neglected to take a picture with the gun actually holstered. Edited June 22, 2020 by cbossio Quote
Members K5HEP Posted June 29, 2020 Members Report Posted June 29, 2020 Nice work... How did you attach the US Army medallion? I did one years ago with a state seal medallion and it had a binding screw post that went all the way through. I am not seeing a bump between the two pieces of leather where a screw head would be - if that makes sense... Quote
Members dougfergy Posted June 29, 2020 Members Report Posted June 29, 2020 Very nice! Love the medallion and am wondering how it is mounted too? Love it! Quote
Members cbossio Posted June 30, 2020 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) It's just a screw back concho. Nothing special done to it. The head of the screw was fairly flat and I used 9-10 oz leather. The small head wasn't a large enough object to make a dent in the back of the holster. In the past when the leather wasn't thick enough to hide the screw head, I rotated a punch like a hole saw to cut into the back of the leather (not cutting all the way through and only spinning the punch, not using a mallet) and then used a hobby knife to hollow out the cut. The screw head then sits in the hollowed out portion of the leather. Edited June 30, 2020 by cbossio Quote
Members dougfergy Posted July 1, 2020 Members Report Posted July 1, 2020 Ahh, OK. I've used a Forstner bit to sink a hole in leather before. Quote
