:) Hey Rube  ;)

Nah.  Drill press. you can source a very serviceable Bench Top drill press at Harbor Freight very reasonable (Cheap).
I looked at the HF bench top drill presses. The 10 inch one for $169 is a good deal and might be a good way to go. The $99 8 inch one doesn't have a crank for table height adjustment. My drill press is like that and it's a damn PITA to adjust the height. In my opinion, the extra cost is worth it for that alone.

I guess those would be a good option for sure. We have a Harbor Freight in town.

Made this from some scrap leather I had so I went with a distressed look.

Cool design. I love the way you placed the Colt logo on the strap. Perfect holster for a genuine Colt.

I love authentic holsters and belts as evidenced by my very worn copy of Packing Iron by Richard C. Rattenbury but as a first love growing up in the 60's I have to give it to the movies and TV.  I tried to be as screen faithful as possible but not having a look in person, this is as close as I could get.  I've read that Andy Anderson built the first examples but I have no way of authenticating this.
