Every 1911 needs a good home
Every 1911 needs a good home
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.

Re: Every 1911 needs a good home
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.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

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.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: Every 1911 needs a good home
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.
