Cool. Count me in.

Joel, I think we have a "seal" candidate!

I would be great if we had a TCC logo stamp to emboss our holsters! :D

Anyone know where we could get something like that on the inexpensive side? Heck, if there was enough interest, even at ~$5 a person maybe even on the high quality side.

I'm interested. My wife on the other hand, is going to LOVE another aspect of this gun business about as much as a migraine headache :-)

Thanks for setting this up, and let's hope there's enough interest to do several sessions.

I think we have a new "new thing" meeting! :D It is no longer a "I could be in." I am totally in for this!

As far as the plastic, yes, I'd say Saran Wrap would work. It's what I used when I made my current holster, to keep the gun dry whilst I molded the wet leather around it.

I never thought of the wetness factor. I thought it was a "saftey/security" thing for the Tandy folks.

Let's have a wood shop meeting previous to the holster making session that we can all whittle our own wood handgun of choice for the molding of the leather!!!! :lol:

I told my wife that I need to "find" a hobby. (shhhh...don't say anything...I have a ton already) She asked my what and I said I would like to get into leather work. she said "Oh... Could you make your own holster?" :D Yeah!!!!

It may well be that too- but no need to drench the weaponry, eh? :wink:

Most of the places take 4-6 weeks to make one up, with the price starting at about $50.

Here's a guy who may be able to get one done for you in time for your class: http://www.greyghostgraphics.com/. He's well-respected within the leathercraft industry. I do not personally have any of his stamps, but am getting ready to order.

Looks like we have interest, I count six so far - Brauchma - Jac714 - Srigs - Jeremiah - Andrew - Plblark. Did I miss anybody?
How does January 20th sound?

Just finished a crossdraw holster, didn't turn out as planned. I will try to post a picture (not sure if I'm doing it right)

The 20th is the nominal date for the breakfast this month so we could make a day of it, breakfast then holster making sounds like a great winter Saturday.

Good idea, Jeff. Sounds like a fun Saturday.

I am interested in attending assuming that my schedule permits, and that there is room. If you end up with more people then room, I will step aside, so someone has the opportunity to take a crack a holster making.

ahh man! The 20th is my company Christmas party. I skipped the first one for the New Thing and now I will miss holster making. AHHH!!! I will have to go to round two I guess.
