Howdy.
I made a scout rig for a customer. its a civilian half flap with a Fair Weather Christian belt.
I dident find the belt hook so I made one, just love my Dremel.

Very nice work, Bob. Congratulations.
I see you dyed the belt but managed to keep the back clean...

Thanx. I don't use to dye the back, Fiebings tend to rub of.

Applied Bag Kote to the black dye. It will stabilize it so it doesn't rub off. Been using this for years with nary a complaint, myself included!

We dont have bag kote, just tan kote and if I use that it still rub off.

I was taught to buff the heck out of any leather dyed black until you do not get rub off, then and only then do you put a coating of Tan Coat or Bag Coat, and do more than one, if you choose to dye with Vinegaroon you do not have to do a thing but put your finish coat on, NO RUB OFF with Vinegaroon, NONE.....

Looks great, Henrik. Very good job on the hook. Dremels really are the hot ticket. I use mine the few times I need to drill holes instead of using an awl. Like through 8 layers of 10-12 oz leather.

Thanks for the pics.

Boothill Bob sorry I missed this . Outstanding work. I really like it and so should your customer. KT

Very nice rig! Very authentic! Original military belts/holsters were not dyed on the back side. Next time you make one, contact me, I have a drawer full of those hooks! Good job!

Kendoo Kid · April 10, 2013, 07:48:09 PM

Boothill Bob · April 10, 2013, 11:36:31 PM
