[QUOTE="Mystery, post: 3091852, member: 43185"] Unless someone would request otherwise, I make my holsters from 8-9oz leather, which is pretty thick but pretty standard for a good holster. I use a standard press to get the basic shape from the leather (hot wet-molding), and then hand mold it with various tools (wooden dowels, bone creaser, bone folder, and the butt end of a sharpie pen which works really well). That gives the holsters a little bit of stiffness and better retention, and adds the detail in the leather which I personally like the look of. Then it's just a matter of drying it with a heat box to stiffen the leather and get it ready for finishing. [/QUOTE]
