Hi guys,

my wife has been teling me that i need another hobby other then guns. So i decided to try and make a holster.

i am planning on ordering what I need from Tandy leather and don't want to put big bucks into it until i know that I can make something other then a paper weight. So my question is what do i need to order to get started?

When uou answer pretend like to are addressing a retarded non-english speaking child ... that way maybe i can understand :lol:

also what leather weight and quality and how much for one IWB olster along the lines of a summer special???

Rob,
E-mail me and I'll be happy to help you rather than get into a lengthy dissertation here.
Getting "just enough" leather for one IWB may be a problem though. Tandy and most other suppliers only sell complete sides (20-25 sq. ft.) or double shoulders (12-15sq ft). Occasionally you can get single shoulders (5-7 sq ft) but these are usually thinner leather and lesser quality.
