Great! I'll have to get some ordered! Boothill, I'm kinda at the same odds you were in that I've not done one yet.

It seems everytime I'm in a store I look in the hunting/camping section for them with no luck........then when I get home on the internet I never bother to look! ::) :D

Now I don't have an excuse! I gotta try one! Hehehe!

Thanks for the info, Pard!

Hi,

I bought one from Big 5 for a round $5.95 ...

It was close enough to use just as it was (except for the cheesy plastic lid).

But now I see your works every time I go to use the thing ... how did you attach the leather to the cap so that the connection would be secure when the leather gets wet?

BB,

What kind of glue? I would guess something at least waterproof ....

If you glue & sew it on while it's damp, it'll probably never come loose once it dries. I used to cover circingle handles that way. They had to stay without slipping or rotating when the performer is doing all the fancy stuff. I would sew the seam and flatten it back to cover the stitch line on both sides so it's smooth. Nothing ever moved. On this, you wouldn't need to flatten it over the stitches so you could just pull the leather together gently to keep from squeezing the cap too tightly. Barge cement would work great on this. You could put a seam on both sides to look more symmetrical if you wish. Sew it just like you would a holster mainseam.

Here is a door prize I donated for a recent event.

These Holsters are lined and were immersed in Home Brewed Walnut Dye for two hours followed by three coats of Neets Foot Oil then two coats of Skidmores. The Cross Draw has a 15 degree cant.

Looks good. I haven't been able to get that good color with walnut dye yet. Yours came out great. Nice work.

Johnny, them are some very nice holsters, good work!

I like how your color came out. That is the same way I do mine with home made walnut dye.

Howdy Pards,

Many thanks for the kind words. Most of what I make always looks the same. Kid Terrico is the master of imagination and design. No two pieces of his Leather Work ever look the same. There is a tremendous amount of talent on this Forum and it's always a genuine pleasure to view the fine work posted here.

Howdy Brazos,

Great job for a first holster. Nice design! As Marshall Will said, be sure to keep this one. You will be amazed on how your techniques will grow with each holster you do.

We look forward to seeing your next project.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement guys! Lucky for me, I got a bunch of pistols, so I guess I will be making more holsters, lol! Working with leather can be trying, and I absolutely hate stitching, but it is good for me, makes me slow down and focus, which I believe it's a good thing for anybody. I really enjoy seeing what you all make, and glean some neat ideas to try out my self. Best thing about shooting and any type of crafting, you never get so good you can't improve. That's a hobby you can take with you all throughout your life ;)
