It has recently occurred to me that if I want a quality custom shoulder holster for my gear, I will have to make it myself...or send my guns to the maker. Since the latter, is not a possibility right now, I have decided to try my hand at makking my own holsters. I have scoured the internet and have found very little information on what to do. I am fairly comfortable making kydex sheaths using the wood press I built. But I want to make a perfect shoulder set for myself, and if it turns out well, for some of my friends. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me put together the tools I will need as well as some rudimentary info on the best way to pattern the holsters.

With the knives I sheathed, I covered the knife with tape and then heated the Kydex around it, then pressed it until it fit perfectly in a wood press I put together. I then used rivets to make it look semi-professional. All in all, it looked pretty good, but decidedly unprofessional. Since I have no interest in selling my work, this didn't bother me unduly. But with a holster, I want to make sure it is comfortable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated everybody.

Thanks,

Ed

Wow, that would be great. It's interesting, I have been looking to get into some hobbies of late...that I can work on at home. And the idea of this came from the need to have a good quality holster for my guns that no one offers production wise. It's looking like a lot of fun. And it goes without saying, if anyone needs anything from me, my resources are at your beck and call. Of course, not everybody needs comic book and computer info. :D
