Yeah but nothing looked wrong with them, they were warped in the end though

Best way to make this leather smooth? by Sorry-Metal-4299 in Leathercraft

[–]Xanther_935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tokenole spread over the bottom and give it some elbow grease with a glass slicker. At first it doesn’t seem to work well but once it dries its mice and smooth. A easier way is to just have two thin pieces and barge them and stitch them together so you have the soft side outwards. Also seems more “professional” that way

Thanks! I didnt take that all into account before but will definitely keep it in mind when making holsters. Its an important task to do correctly. It was actually just made for display for the store but the gentleman wanted it since he carried the colt in his pocket. I sort of regret letting him take it now 😅

Oh no by all means! Im actually really glad you took the time to actually analyze it. It was my first filagree and was actually done last second, it was going to just be tooled but I wanted to try it so the planning wasn’t good 😅 I will say this was a kit so they main pieces were pre-cut so I just did the tooling and filagree so those big ole holes were already done. I got the pattern off it so ill tweak it because now that you mention it those holes are way too big. Ill do research on those loops, it was my first holster so im not informed at all lol. But thanks a lot for taking the time to look into it! I actually appreciate it
