This video was very helpful when i got into Kydex.
I have made several holsters for myself and some friends. Looked into starting up a small business but started school instead. I have plans on how to build up a press and all that. I use my guns for the molds. GREEN paper tape. Dowls and some paint sticks.

Yeah, that was one of the videos I was gonna base my stuff off of :). A year ago I was starting to look at it and that video is awesome.
Another video ... somewhere ... shows kydex + leather if I recall correctly (it routs out some wood so that the kydex doesn't go "too far").
I bought some relatively stiff kid play floor foam squares a while back for a different clamping / padding need... which would do just fine for kydex stuff :).

I stopped by Hobby Lobby on way in, the rivets they had were cosmetic.
Someone suggested Michael's ... I'll give them a try tomorrow possibly.
When I walked out of Hobby Lobby I had a thought to myself.
We truly have become a nation of consumers.
Even HL has mostly just prefabricated things folks mix together to make a creation.
Plenty of the things required to do it yourself from scratch are almost prohibitively expensive if they can be found.

I have rivets and Chicago screws.
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.
