Template
E-11 Blaster Leather Holster Template: here


Procedure

1. Study the template for previous bulit. Here & here

2. Print out the template in A3 size:I redraw the template in  Inkscape. Set up the paper to A3. During printing, I encountered problem because my printer's printable margin cannot print out the full lines. So i adjusted some part to middle a bit and print the template twice.

3. Check the dimension is correct

4.Cut out the template: I combine the template using stationary tape.

5.Trace the template on the leather: With the piece that I have, I can make 2 holster. A spare in case I mess this one up.

6.Cut the template with sharp hobby knife. I change the blade each time I want to make a new cut.

For the stitching, I am going to send it to a leather shop nearby for machine stitching. I still not capable to do my own stitching yet.

To be continue.
