    First attempt

    Too late lol. I work my "real" job from 8-5 then take about an hour and get dinner with the wife, then head to the workshop until about 9:30 making holsters and belts. It will be a good retirement gig I think but I try to keep it at a minimum.

    I do leathercraft and was hand sewing stuff because I only made stuff for me, but about 8 months ago, a friend asked me to make him a ccw belt. I did, then he showed it to friends etc. I had folks asking me to make them a belt. It was crazy, so I bought a Cowboy 4500 sewing machine. it is made...

    IO have only taken it out once, It seems easy to get to stuff. I try to take a minimal amount to the field when I go. I t ended up abut 9"x7" finished. The Buffalo hide was soft but thick. The grain side is pretty tough to so I think it will out last me by a long shot.

    I always hear folks complaining about period correctness so I thought I would head off the comments, I guess it didn't work.

    Thanks for adding me to the group. I was accepted last week but with Christmas and all that goes with it, I haven't been on my computer. I live in Northern Ky and been shooting a cap gun for several years, a Thompson Center White Mountain Carbine. A couple years ago, my Father In Law gave me all...

    HELP! Casting issue

    I fully understand how the sheildimg works. I have a Masters degree in nursing and a minor in chemistry. But, the material I had, was not good metal. See the pics please. It came put of the pot like soft serve ice cream, solidified milky and the ingots would break apart with a grainy interior.
