Hey Curley
Which one are you interrested in?
The main thing is, that I need the same time on a miniature than on a fullsize rig. Just need little lower materal

So long and have a great day
Andy

I cant imagine being able to charge much less. Probably only a couple square feet at the most in extra leather for a big one. I guess it's possible to squeeze a mini out of a piece that's too small for full size in which case it would only get used for scrap or small parts.

Ups, No Holster is showing..... Sorry about that.... here it is

Original was made by El Paso Saddlery in 1885 - 1890 also see Packing Iron Peage 113.
This Holster is made for Colt SAA 1873, 7,5 inch


Have a great day

Hey Cliff
For the miniatures you are right Cliff. It was a hard job to do a 12 stich per inch handsewing, and also sewn in plugs on the holster.....and cartridge loops for moneybelts 

But it is fun!!!!!!!

Have a great day

This is my reject holster I had originally planned to give to my Dad which fits a Norinco 1911 .45 ACP.  I messed up with my stitching grooves so I decided to try to hide those mistakes by lacing the Main Seam together with Kangaroo Lace (Natural color - which is as close as I could find to the cream color I wanted).

Please take a looksy and let me know what you all think.  I am looking for pointers and critiques.  I already know I might use different holes and need to work on the spacing of them to get a more even lacing look.

Thanks,

Slickshot

Looks fine and dandy to me :)Ain't nuthin to sneeze atmi like it!

[Skeeter Lewis]

Great work on the El Paso holster.

Neat texture there, Slickshot.

[Dalton Masterson]

I think its pretty good Slickshot! I have never tried lacing of that fashion, but other than maybe a little wider lace, I think you did great.

Dalton Masterson,

I agree and it is very hard to find the right color in the width of lace I wanted.  This is 1/8, I wanted it 3/8 ths at least.  I wanted a Cream color lace too.

Thanks for everyone's inputs I appreciate them - please keep them coming.

This is 2 I made for 2 brothers to go on their pants belt. They did not want a high ride so, I came up with this.

[Wolf Tracker]

Slickshot  nice work on the holster. I like the color and texture.

TexasToby  nice work on your holsters. I'm sure your brothers will love them.

[Johnny McCrae]

Howdy Andy,
That is some beautiful work you have been posting!

Howdy Slickshot,
You did a real nice job on the 1911 Holster! It sure doesn't look like a reject to me.

Howdy Toby,
Great work! There are going to be two very happy brothers.

Many thanks to you Gents for sharing your work with us.

Another frst-class piece, Andy. Congrats.

[Slickshot]

Andy,

Wow!  You do exceptional work!  Do you handstitch or machine sew all your holsters?  Very nice!  Pretty too!

Slickshot

[Andy Rombach]

Hey Folks
I handsew all of my stuff!!!! Chaps, saddles, holsters, everything is handsewn. Mostly I use 8 stich per inch, sometimes 10 (on the El Paso Holster) or 11 stich per inch around the hat (post on Parts). On the miniautres sometimes 12 stich per inch....

I use only hand waxed linen thred (how did you writ these). Soryy about my bad english.... I am sure you guys will understand this

[Slickshot]

Andy,

I understood exactly what you meant...No problem there.

I love your work and hope with time I might get close to being able to do your quaility of leatherwork.  Do you use a saddlers awl (diamond point) or do you use a dremel and drill very small holes?

Andy,

Your work transcends languages ...and your English is certainly far better than my French *S*...

[LoneRider]

Every body does good work!
I just don't have time to do really fancy rigs, too busy turning out functional "Gamer" rigs
