Here's a few of my leather projects...a travel bag for a good friend, a rifle sling for another friend, and a pair of mocassins for my daughter.  These are all first efforts, and have been great learning experiences.

The travel bag design is my own, copied from pictures of what I liked.  The bag is constructed of leather is oil tanned (Kodiak, I think), and saddle stitched with waxed linen thread.


The rifle sling was made from veg-tanned leather, and a 1" belt strap.  The back of the shoulder pad and top were made from remnants that I had on-hand.  The suede was from the scrap pile at a local Tandy store.  I coated the leathers with mink, linseed.  I was unable to get a good color match on the strap and shoulder pieces, so I ended up dyeing the pieces with a water-based dye.  I was surprised the dye took considering how much oil that I had used.  It was my first attempt at an inlay (not sure if this is proper nomenclature, but it is what I call it).  The border of the inlay is machine sewn on a early 1900's Singer that belonged to my wife's mother.  I used layers of neoprene type insulating tape as padding for the back of the shoulder strap, and covered it with the suede.  I used the same tape for filler on either side of the belt strap.   

The mocassins were made based on the Tandy Leather Plainsman pattern, but downsized to fit my daughter's tiny foot!
The sole and uppers are made from oil tanned leather and laced together with premium lace.  The toe camp (vamp), tounge and inlay are hair-on calf hide.  For the vamp, the calf hide was glued to the oil tanned leather before stitching.  I did this as to not sacrifice the strenght of the vamp by using the thin calf hide.  The rose inlay is at her request, and my design.  Again, the border was sewn on the inlay using the centrury old Singer. 

I am thoroughly enjoying this past time.  Just one of the many aspects that I like about CAS! 

BTW, I got an order for 6 more rifle straps from the guy that recieved the first one as a gift.  I may make minimum wage after everything is said and done!

With the exception of the .357 caliber, . . . and the thumb break, . . . it is basically a Western Rig.

Harley wanted it to go horseback riding in Oklahoma, . . . just in case the snakes, coyotes, or other vermin became a serious problem.

Had a lot of fun doing this one.

May God bless,
Dwight

Tobe, that is a darned ingenious idea. That's 'hiding in plain sight'. I'm surprised it hasn't been done before. Skeet

I was already thinking about something like this so I decited to go ahead with my version. The one I saw was made out of nylin stuff like "Mike's" holsters. Thanks, I appreciate any flowers I can get, Toby T

Thank you. I'm afraid that the rate of exchange of leather will be too high. ;D In our region do not wear cowboy hats. :)

I'm learning quickly to use my Cowboy 3500 sewing machine, bought mostly because arthritis and other physical issues over three years have prevented me from any longer hand stitching. Here are pictures of two in-the-waistband holsters I made for my Ruger 3 inch SP101, which because it's not a typical snub nose revolver, is difficult to find holsters for (and I love making them myself). With help and encouragement from members here and on another forum, I have hit on a very useful design for me and used techniques that I was told about. I'm using Hermann Oak leather, vinegaroon for black and a strong tea/coffee brew for brown. Neatsfoot oil followed by a triple coat of 50/50 beeswax/neatsfoot oil rubbed in well gives me a sheen I love. Any constructive criticisms would be appreciated. I'm moving on also to the full flap holsters I love most. Thanks for looking. Don
