Great leather work!
Some years ago we were in Colorado in our RV. Stopped at a roadside tourist trap "gift shop" and leather shop. I was amazed with the old Native American inside making holsters, belts, etc. I had never seen in person the tooling to fancy up a piece of leather. I ended up buying a gun belt and holster for use in weekend western shooting comps. Still have the belt, but thanks to time, it doesn't fit! Either waistline expanded or belt shrunk....

Nice work, holsters are a whole other thing to make sure the fits are good etc and looks like all are great.

Let me help you out!! I think the belt shrunk!!! Lol
But good news is, it can be fixed...I had several "adult" people coming to me with shrunken belts. Try to add longer front pieces, or even cut the gunbelt in half on the dead center in the back and add/sew on a decorative piece!

For many years it was my 10 fingers...lol I actually did enjoy hand stitching all my leather work the old way! But times came when it got pretty old...lol so I invested in an old used ADLER 105/6 used that one for 10+ years....the machine was great but not a walking foot machine. So 2 years ago I purchased a slightly as new COBRA 3 and absolutely loving this machine!!

It looks like it makes a nice consistent stitch. Back in the day 40+ years ago when I was working leather I had an American Straight Needle, which is a needle feed harness stitcher machine. Now days when I make an occasional project for myself I use the "10 finger method" . lol

These harness stitches are monster machine...I almost bought a LANDIS one time...lots of upkeeping and maintenance! COBRA machines are almost as capable and have lifetime warranty! I gave a song for my COBRA 3, the gent bought it and had never worked leather or a machine...lol...he thought he can pump out holsters and get rich fast...when I picked it up...he didn't even know how to retread it...lol
