Here's a couple I'm working on right now.
Anthony was here Fri and I'd been saving these to do while he was here. However, we had some unexpected friends/customers from England stop by and so we just didn't get to do everything we wanted too. I didn't start these until after Anthony had to leave.
I cut them out first and adjust the pattern to fit the gun requested. Do any tooling requested then make the straps and attach the hardware, basically get them ready to have the lining attached. Buckles to put on yet.
Buckles on and then a couple of coats of warm neatsfoot oil. Ready to cut and glue in the lining.
Marking the linig. One of these holsters is a lefty, ya got to remember such things. I've found putting the object face down and then drawing around the linig helps keep leftys with leftys and righties with righties. That way I don't cut a left hand lining for a right hand holster etc. Have done.
Linig glued in looks like I got em right.
Got to rember to work your wrinkles out when lining. This holster is a little tough cause you have the bend of the holster itself and then the other bend of the flap coming down.
Lining sewn in now. Nichole was sewing in the lining on these spur straps she was making for herself so I had her sew the linings on the holsters too. Now just trim the lining, edge the edges you can't do later, (basically whats stitched now), fold em in half and stitch. Do that common edge, apply finish and they are done.
