Aloha Gang,
Got this ready for a buddy and he had to pass... have my own set up I made after I got this....
Here's a quick kit to get you started in thermo molded plastics with some job specific tools...
You will still need to get a hollow rivet setter which can run you between $12 all the way up to $200 if you decide to go that route... but honestly ... $12 works for occasional projects....
Several suppliers offer what you will need to set the rivets... the plates are from a well known supplier... cleaned them up to get them ready for painting... I will leave that up to you and your favorite color....
The rest you probably have like a hair dryer, hot plate or heat gun, drill, sand paper etc...
Press is $85 new from Knifekits where I bought it....
Foam is $30 ("c neo" stands for commercial neoprene and is marked as such on the other side)
I will rough cut to fit and ship but will not mount so you can paint it your favorite color...
Including a roll of carpet tape to mount the foam
Including about 500 hollow rivets might be more in the bag... that's about $50
An assortment of 16 solid as well as no longer made woodland and desert camp kydex/bolatron sheets to get you started.... That's over $80 worth
That's about $245 before shipping....
Here's a deal for the folks who want to get started making their own holsters sheathes etc....
$GONE shipped Priority Mail, insured with tracking shipping anywhere in the USA....
Hope that helps someone get started in thermo molding... happy to answer questions or help anyone interested....
Have a great Friday and Weekend all!
Take Care and God Bless,
K
