got my books, got my awl for awl and know how to use it, got my oversticher, got my adjustable tool to cut my bevels, got thread, got me a basic 7 set, and a few more stamps, got my Veg tanned leather and liner hide.
I have made my first set of patterns, and they look good! these holsters I am going to make are for 4 3/4" barrel open top 72's, these are not skiirts holsters, they have a few curves. Does anyone use a roller cutter to cut out the curves?
In my whole life, I have allways been like a kid at x-mas, I am ready to play with my new toys wheter or not I know how.
But as to this holster making, I do not what to mess up! Leather work, isn't like wood working or auto body working.you ruin a board you just get another one out of the pile, same as body work, specialy on custom cars like I use to build, if you don't like the way it looks, you just cut it off, and get another piece of metal. but when it comes to leather, untill I know I can do this, I can't order $200.00 worth of leather.
After I get it casted, do any of you use a roller cutter? As normal, long winded, and I am sorry.
I hope everyone has a good weekend!
