I finally managed to make a holster - phyrrus9 - 12-17-2019
So after a few attempts using rivets without success, I decided to go with threads. After 3 hard days of work and many cut fingers, I managed to do it.
I made a holster for my 1851

Looks really well done. Have you done holsters before?

No, this is the first time I got past simply folding it to shape. Every time I tried with rivets the moment I got the rivet in it would pop through.

I've made a few 3D printed holsters, but never had the patience to attempt a true leather stitch or leather rivet holster. It looks great, as does the gun. Good job!

Nice, well done.
A few years ago, me and a friend build a drum from pine. It took more than a week but at the end we got nice drum beats.

No, not for sale. It's specific to a single gun, and took me dozens of hours to complete. It would be useless to you and far overpriced.

This does look great. The threading looks like it was a good move!

My fingers dispute that.... i was using just normal thread that you'd use for clothing, so 7 loops on each of the horizontal ones, 9 on the vertical ones, then a bunch of clever use of super glue to lock them in place. sliced chunks off my fingers a few times
