Thanks Feathers and WBC for bringing this to our attention and suppling the link. I haven't watched all of them yet but they seem to be very good and very helpful.

Howdy Kretzer,

Welcome to the CAS City and the Leather Forum. You will meet a lot of good Pards here who are more than willing to help and answer your questions.

That's very neat and precise work especially for a first attempt.

JD Alan · December 13, 2009, 01:07:54 AM

That's some nice clean stamping there Kretzer, and welcome to the forum. You'll find this is a great group of helpful guys. JD

Gun Butcher · December 13, 2009, 06:29:32 AM

Hey Kretzer, great first attempt. Welcome to the fire. We are always glad to see new people.

Ned Buckshot · December 13, 2009, 06:35:49 AM

Howdy Kretzer!

You did an awsome job for a first attempt, much better than mine I think if I can remember that far back.

There is a wealth of knowledge in this forum so ask away when you have questions, sometimes you might even get the same answer twice!!!!

Howdy K,
I wish i could stamp that evenly, but i keep getting
in a hurry and flummox it somewhere along the line.
Nice work.

Howdy Kretzer

Welcome to the Leather Shop Forum, we're happy to have you join us, like others have said, we're a sharing bunch of pards here, I think you did a dandy job on your first attempts at stamping borders on these belts, much better than I did when first starting out, which means you are probably a natural at this craft, keep up the nice work, and we'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future, thanks for the look see Pard.

Regards

Kretzer welcome aboard. Nice job. Keep it up and keep posting. KT

Great job Kretzer! Hay guys I have a question... When I made my holsters shown previously; I soaked the holster, put the pistol in it and laid it on the wifes dashboard sitting outside on a 100+ degree day. Now winters in Texas are warm but 50 and 60 degree days just don't bake and tighten the leather as well to form to the pistol. What do y'all do to form fit holsters? $:-\$

Dang Feathers , that's Beautiful, your Brother is going to flip, your wood planks came out great, that WC, really knows how to do it, what blows me away is your art work, it takes a pretty steady hand to do what you've done, Feathers, My Hats Off to Ya Pard.
