home made holsters

Updated again to a larger size leather, the other felt to small so went larger to spread the weight out as well as added a neoprene liner with the buck skin backing and hand stitch

they look nice, did you water and hand form those? I am waiting on a sewing machine to come in from Cali to start my leather work, and will use the vacuum former to form the leather once everything is in place. Really looking forward to doing more with leather, plan on gun belts as well as holsters along with a few other items and hand stamping.

Surprisingly no. I did the molding when they were still drying from the stain and top coat.

it doesn't look as though it didn't have a negative impact on the dye when you did it and the definition looks good, from what it shows in the photos, and the photos don't do the work any justice!

The dye was "dry" to the touch at least but I would imagine it kept everything flexible still and the top coat soaking in I imagine helped as well.

most likely nice job none the less, as I mentioned I really looking forward to me sewing machine, I have hand stitched a few things and really does a number on my hands but figure I will still have some areas that will need hand sewing that machine wont do.

Bought a new pistol so had to make a new kydex holster, this will prbably be the first of a few will also do a hybrid. Let me know what y'all think
