Thanks guys!
Yes Jim, Kathie saw what I was doing and suggested I use the stand. Worked pretty well!
You read my mind about the belt! I've got a heavy one I use for my BP revolvers. It's a little darker color so I'm going to try to strip the finish and some of the dye off, then redye it to see if I can get it to match the holster. If not I'll probably just live with whatever color I end up with.
I am going to line it and stamp on the same border though!
This leather work is kinda fun. I get home from work and sit down in the man cave for a while working on my projects and it clears my mind of the days activities.
I still have to get my small garage set up for woodworking though. I've got a lot of those projects backing up! Including that boat!
