Getting Back Into Leatherwork, finished #10

[snubbyfan]

I've been thinking of getting back into leatherwork. It'll give me something to do on the cold winter days.
It's been at least a coupla years and I hope I can remember how to do stuff.
Anyway, I've started a pattern for a Glock42 pocket holster.
I don't have a Glock 42 but I do have a Blue Gun. I figure that a small pocket holster would be a good way to get back into it.
Maybe one day I'll havta get a gun just because I already have a holster for it.....

As good as you are at doing it I can’t imagine you’ll have any trouble getting back into it. Let us see the results please.
Regards,

I am a fan of G42's and pocket holsters.

I also have an interest in leatherworking but haven't got off my butt yet. I did pick up one of those rotary hole punches and I have a curved needle. Just need some thread......

This is a most excellent holster. Horsehide. I would like to make one like it for a Glock 26.

Snubby, after the last few years that you have endured, it will be good for you to keep yourself busy and focused. Plus you will make people happy as well.

Snubby - Very happy to hear that you are getting back into leather again!

You've done great work in the past (as I can attest), and there is no doubt that you'll be able to pick up where you left off.

Snubbyfan, I hope you will post some pictures, even if only of your pattern.

Good for you snubby!
Getting back into something you love is great therapy.
I'm trying very hard to gin up the motivation to get off my duff and get back into some of the things I used to enjoy myself.
I know that it can be really hard to get over that hump sometimes.
Keep on chooglin' brother!

Creative arts & crafting is always rewarding. It comes from the necessity of being “man - the - maker” . (Homo Faber).

Here's a construction paper mock up.
Next step, cut leather.

The holster came out pretty good, looks like I may havta get myself a Glock 42 to go with it.

It is in our nature to be creative. IMO, it is imprinted in our DNA by design.

Bought a complete rig (VM2 clone, 2x mag carrier, belt) from Monica Khune back when she made leather. BEFORE I bought the SW1911SC that went into it.
