I could use a little feedback
« on: July 08, 2011, 01:21:27 PM »
I am attaching links to a couple of leather holsters I just finished up, they are both Avenger style's, I am working on a couple pancake holsters right now to.  My new pattern for the Avenger gets rid of that little pointy thingy on the top of the wing from some advice from the leatherworker forum.  I hope this posting pictures thing works I've never tried it before.  Let me know what you think, any feedback is welcome. Please don't pay attention to the date stamps, I have never changed that. Thanks

Thanks Dan, I would love to know what I did wrong. I'm a bit new to posting images.

The html tags have to be perfect or the pics don't show

I would do this...

open the picture in your hosting site

right click and choose " save the image location"

open the thread here and then click the little image insert tool

paste the link you previously saved into the text box.  (Make sure that the http:// header is not repeated as it may already be preloaded into the text box)

Save your post

If you have any more problems let me know and I will help as soon as I can

That looks like very nice work.  Do you have a price list?

Thank you, I'm just actually getting started on the building them for public part of this, been building them for family and friends for a while and with their encouragement and pushing for a while I'm going to give this a bit of a part time go.  I'm getting my patterns together on the guns I have and plan getting a bit of a sale going locally here pretty soon to get a little money together to order a bunch of gun molds.  I am doing these Avenger style that I posted above and a pancake style that is more concealable.  I am getting some mag pouch patterns together right now also along with an IWB but it will be a bit on the IWB as I am making sure that I put out a very quality product (and I have pretty high standards for myself) so I've got some work to do on it yet. 
I use very high quality vegetable tanned 8 oz leather.  If anyone would be interested in a particular style and gun type shoot me a email or pm and we can discuss.

I'm with barmandr on being a beta tester.  Those are some really nice pieces of work.  Would you happen to have an in-pocket for a Sig P238?

Interesting and nice work!

You do those yourself? I'm impressed!

Any plans to do an IWB holster for S&W M&P 9mm/.40 full size (4.5" bbl)?

I will have to think about that a bit...   Thanks for the kind words and at this point I'm not planning on doing a pocket style holster but will let you know if I decide to give it a try.

Yes, I did those myself.  I am planning on making a IWB but haven't decided exactly which style I will be doing, I really do need to sit down and figure it out and pattern it.  As of right now I'm making the Avenger and Pancake style and will probably be ready on the IWB in a month or so.  Oh and mag pouches in the pancake style.
Thanks for looking.

Since you are not really offering these for sale I moved them out of the Classifieds

I looked at these a while ago, and I just want to add my encouragement.  You've got a real talent and I hope you can make a business out of it.  I know I'd love one like the one your EMP is in for a 1911 commander or hi-power.
