Howdy,

it`s about a year I posted my last works here.

I remember asking Skeeter "how to get them smoother". He gave me a couple of good advice and told me it´s all about practice.

Well... he is absolutly right! I made quite a lot of holsters since then and each time they become a bit "smoother"  ;)

Best regards from Germany!

Ray, FA Meanea would have been proud of that one. Where did you get your border stamp?

Hi Camano,


the stamp is an unique copy I did myself. Some vector grafics with Adobe lasered in steel...

Here is one I did for a new shooter. Nothing fancy. He shot with us this past weekend and managed to shoot a couple of clean stages with this Rig.

Howdy Marshall Will & TW,

Many thanks for the kind words.

Had a weird thing happen yesterday. I was sewing some more Holsters together and my hands camped up. First the left and then the right hand. I shot six stage matches  on Saturday and Sunday. It was warm and I drank lots of water. Never had that happen before to this extent. Must be old age I reckon.

My hands often get stiff, and swollen when working on leather projects. 
It is heck getting old...but it beats the alternative!

I've had that happen but only if I'm dehydrated and have used those muscles more than normal the day before, much like you did with the two days of shooting. Perhaps you were a little dehydrated yesterday even though you were properly hydrated the days before.

Thanks Marshall.
That does make sense. I certainly did not drink as much water on the day I had the cramps.

Well if this happens to a youngster like TW then maybe it ain't old age for me after all.

I'm 49 and in pretty good shape - I'm an Army Reserve drill sergeant and still well above the drill sergeant standard on my PT test.  I get hand cramps and soreness every time I work on anything as big as a holster or belt project.

Here's my latest one - a holster for my .44 Magnum old model Vaquero, to carry on hunting trips.  I made it thicker than usual and using the fancy engraved Chicago screws at each end of my stitching is a new idea I had that seems to work pretty well.  This is also the first black holster I ever made and the first with black thread.  The loop is a layer of the holster lining leather, laminated to a layer of fake python skin, printed on cowhide (even feels like snake skin) that I got at Tandy.

 Still working on the belt.

Looks good, Brenn. The use of those Chicago screws is a nice touch. Nice work.

Well Brenn, you knocked this one out of the park, it looks great, nice clean lines and the snake skin adds a little class to an already cool looking rig, well done... ::) :o 8)
