Wait

Tandy Leather is LOCAL ?

Or just has a bunch of stores nation wide ?

I've been on their site a few times etc...

Oh, nation wide.

Still -- I'll head up there tomorrow! :D

Thanks sparky.

Just got into doing some leatherwork.  Got some tools from Hobby stores and Michaels, then stumbled on Tandy Leather on 84 and Center.  Went over and was quite impressed with their selection of both leathercraft tools and leather hides.  Good place to get items to make or repair a holster, belt or whatever.
I do not work there or have any financial interest, just was impressed with what they had.

If you have time to run around to all the hobby stores, just come by Handyman Joes.  I'll toss my supplies and press in my vehicle tomorrow.

Well, I've not formed the Kydex yet ... soooo... heh.

Stopped by Tandy Leather on 84th and Center as per sparky and wcr's suggestion..  They've got just about anything leather tooling related you could prolly want.  Dunno about the big boy arbor style press stuff... but they do have a lot.  They were nice and helpful folks, too.  They also happen to have instructional packs on making kydex holsters :).

Grabbed a small rivet tool set / starter pack thing for $14.  I'll grab a steel plate or a some marble or something from somewhere as a working surface.

I'll admit to being a bit nervous about the rivets, I dunno if they're sturdy enough structurally or not.  They prolly are... but, just an first impression.  The online store also happens to sell chicago screws, dunno about the local one - but it'd be hard to imagine not having it.


Would taking this all to someone that knows better and has a lot of experience be the way to go - such as midwest leather works etc ? Oh yes.

Am I just insistent on getting my hands dirty ? Oh yes.

Mudinyeri:
Shoot me a PM if you need anything.
