My 1st Holster

[BobbyF]

Thanks to all you Pards, I finally finished my first holster. I was happy that the pattern I made worked out well, the iron fits nice and snug but eases in and out, I just have to add a hammer strap. It should work fine for the woods. I will do some things differently and do some tooling on the next one. I am open and would appreciate suggestions. Hope the pictures make it--BobbyF

I like it and it looks like  one that can take some punishment and still hold up.

Congrats on your first holster build Bobby! Did the bug bite you? Haha. I hope you enjoyed the process of the build. You should be very proud of your accomplishment. It's a fine looking holster sir.

Lookin' good, Bobby. Nice holster. Now you have a whole new addiction hobby.

Looking good Pard. Nice job on the stitching.

Thanks Pards for the kind encouraging words. Any success I attained on this project, was due to this Forum. Thank you for accepting me into the Community. Nasty, I did get bit by the bug and Wil it is an addictive hobby. Can't wait to get a new project started, a looped belt I think. All of You be well--BobbyF

Your first holster is a special one, I still have mine from 1959, you did well, much better than I did on my first, my love for western guns is what got me into leather working, and after all this time it keeps me there,

                   Welcome to our forum, and we'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work as time goes by

                                                  Thanks for sharing

Hi tEN wOLVES,
     That holster from'69 is special , would like to see a pic of same. It also somewhat explains (40 yrs experience) why your work is outstanding. Even as a rookie I can see the skill in your work but also the artistry and creativity in your pieces. That is true of the rest of your "Posse" as well.i must sound like a broken record but I feel most fortunate to have found your forum and to have been accepted as a member.
