Leather work, wet forming
Still have some small pieces of leather left, and saw a couple of y'all have been forming leather to the piece, so thought i would try it.
Been looking for a holster, and some of my scraps were black, thought I would start with that as a trial.
Needed a pattern, so traced out the pistol, and cut out a wood pattern, gluing layers together so as to be the correct thickness.
Soaked the top piece, clamped down over the pattern, and let dry a couple of days.
Then started cutting out the pieces, riveting them together, then sewing it.
Seems to have worked out pretty well.
As most of the leather I have left is small pieces, maybe a couple of stiff leather formed bags for round balls.
