Show off your leather

[Tubby]

Thanks y'all... But my stuff is just from easy to do kits. Nothing fancy. If you can trace and "not color outside the lines", you can do Sheridan carving.

Takes skill to get a holster "just right" for a pistol. I'm gonna have to get some tips from Bowman and try my hand at holsters as well!

Started a new shell holder for my bros judge wanted one to hold 5 rounds. These are easy and fun to make. Next I'll do a build along.

I'm interested in making one of those myself. Looking forward to the build along!

I don't think the carving is that easy tubby I've did some need to dig it out and snap a few pics. The holsters are not bad after you make a design for them. Lining them can be tough. They take me about 16 hours to do one holster. Ive figured out a new way to mold them and get them made with alot of detail just need to build it now .

This thread is getting good.

Here's my build along.


First i start with leather like this


Then cut this and make the slots.


Then i cut the lace strip out


Then start working it threw slots to make loops. after i lace it I'n i use leather contact cement to glue it I'n and put the back side on.



Then you tool it how ever you would like.

Stay tuned

Bowman, can't tell from the pics, but the lace you threaded thru, are they stitched between each loop or just stitched on the ends?

Just on the ends it's one solid piece so i glue the middle and ends and then stitch the ends also.
