While waiting for HT, Saturday project got out of control!

Thanks, Chris,

I like your work and that you can improve the 1911. Thanks especially for your service to our country.

All of this has been experimental - until now. The press works great. I think the need for speed has been a bit over stated. I heated my kydex in my BBQ, walked across my yard, aligned it on my knife, dropped the press and locked it. Best I could tell I could have taken more time. (I let the kydex cook at 300 deg. for 5 minutes (.06))

Here are some pictures. BTW, the first piece I scrapped because I cut it too small. It does show some nice detail, however.

I decided on a flat-one-side approach, so left out the bottom foam. That piece of kydex the knife is lying on is the bottom piece, not the molded one.

This sheath is for a lefty.

Take care all,

Erik

Looks really nice Erik. Well done.
I was going to suggested a rope and cinder block to keep the pressure on?
Your idea is much better.
