more new leather

[alaskamace]

A while back I posted some results at my first attempt in making my own gunleather. I must say this hobby is extremely addicting. I just finished up my second belt and holster combo, added a cartridge slide and knife sheath as well. Not professional by any means, but practical and very strong.

Looks good, was that a Tandy kit?

No kit, I bought a side of leather and started from there. Its not hard, just takes a bit of time to get patterns and all worked out.

Nice job!! I just ordered a pile of leather working tools... should be here monday!! Now to buy some cowhide and I'll try to make some stuff!

Can you show the back of that holster? I am trying to picture how the holster can slide thru that slot..... how hard were the loops to make? Looks pretty nice!

That looks like a fine job. The knife sheath is my favorite style for real use (and the belt, slide, and holster looks like it fills the bill, also).

Good work!

That's a nice looking rig, and it can be addicting

ShortBBL here's the back of my double loop

get the leather good and wet when folding it over and inserting the holster into the loops help.
