Or at least some kind of home. Here are some of my latest home-building attempts. These are my designs, obviously a variation of a theme of one piece holsters. I am having a ball learning a new skill.

Nice job Steve, make sure you put your name on them as maker. If not then 50 years from now someone will be left wondering who made their favorite holster they found at a flea market someplace.

A few years ago you said you didn't think you could do that. Those look great, did you buy a machine?

I was wondering if you got a machine too.

No machines. Hand stitching.

I will soon have a 1937 Singer featherweight for sale, but I am not sure if it's strong enough to punch through thick leather. I could have had you a bigger Singer at one of the estate sales I did over the weekend for around a hundred bucks. That one had a wicked sharp looking needle that could probably punch through fingers.

At this point, I am happy with hand stitching. It really slows down the process, but I am in no hurry.
