Default An Avenger for Dave

I'll use this thread to document the design and build of Dave's holster. I've never done an avenger style holster, but it seems like most leather cutters have one in their lineup. So, this will be a good exercise for me... other than its another LEFTY...

Dave please add comments as we go - I'm pretty thick skinned, if its not going how you want let me know.

Lane

I saw "Dave" and "Avenger" and thought of him in a Mighty Mouse mask with a towel safety pinned to his shirt

Sorry, couldn't "hep" it

Yep! I'll mock up a prototype and post some pics.

Default Protoype

OK - I've finished the prototype, and think I'm close (but, Dave gets the final say on that). Couple of things, the stitching is pretty sloppy, I was just trying to make sure it works; it's not dyed cause I didn't want to wait; I didn't use my vacuum press for molding (just lazy); and I know it's a righty - I need to make sure I've got the pattern right, then I'll flip it over.

Anyway, here's the pattern I came up with:


Here's the parts cut out:


Front view, with a gun and a "belt":


and a back view:


A couple of things I noticed - the belt slot and "tunnel" are too small for a thick belt. My carry belt is 1/4" thick, and it should fit one of my belts right?

Also, I think the belt slot is too close to the edge - I need to make it just a tad wider throught that area.

Anyway, take a look, Dave, and let me know what needs to be changed. Please don't be shy.

Lane
