I would be great if we had a TCC logo stamp to emboss our holsters!

I'm interested. My wife on the other hand, is going to LOVE another aspect of this gun business about as much as a migraine headache 
Thanks for setting this up, and let's hope there's enough interest to do several sessions.

I think we have a new "new thing" meeting! It is no longer a "I could be in." I am totally in for this!

Let's have a wood shop meeting previous to the holster making session that we can all whittle our own wood handgun of choice for the molding of the leather!!!! 
I told my wife that I need to "find" a hobby. (shhhh...don't say anything...I have a ton already) She asked my what and I said I would like to get into leather work. she said "Oh... Could you make your own holster?" Yeah!!!!

Here's a guy who may be able to get one done for you in time for your class: http://www.greyghostgraphics.com/. He's well-respected within the leathercraft industry. I do not personally have any of his stamps, but am getting ready to order.

I'll have to look into that.

Looks like we have interest, I count six so far - Brauchma - Jac714 - Srigs - Jeremiah - Andrew - Plblark. Did I miss anybody?
How does January 20th sound?
Just finished a crossdraw holster, didn't turn out as planned. I will try to post a picture (not sure if I'm doing it right)

The 20th is the nominal date for the breakfast this month so we could make a day of it, breakfast then holster making sounds like a great winter Saturday.

I am interested in attending assuming that my schedule permits, and that there is room. If you end up with more people then room, I will step aside, so someone has the opportunity to take a crack a holster making.
