I do have a hand setter but one more would be nice too have so there is no bottle necks.
Depending how good you are with the kydex you could possibly make 2 holsters with a 12x12 sheet. Make sure you order early so your supply's are in before Sunday. They do have two day shipping.
We will be doing these in my garage. The weather as of now is 60 and rain so dress warm. I do have a heater if it gets to cold so dress in layers.
As for hand tools we should be good. We could use a extra toaster oven and a heat gun depending on the number of people.
I will have to limit this workshop to 10 people.
We can order some pizza if we start to get hunger. You may want to bring some thing to drink.
If you would like to do this and have any questions please PM me with them so we are not tying up the NWI INGO break room. I will do a update on a daily basis.

Well you guys almost sold me another fine S&W specimen today....
You two can't get together on which day you will be out there... oh well...
You had a nice model 28... but someone bought it yesterday I think... still have a nice 2.5 inch 66 though... and that Ruger Lipsky is nice but just a bit out of my price catagory... The 686 4 inch you had in there was nice too, but a bit lower on my want list... sent Smith a email about getting a replacement side plate for that 66 but probably won't hear back from them for a week or sooo...
Wish Smith would make a Model 27 in 357 mag with either the 6 or 8 shot cylinder that was setup like the 629 Stealth Hunter... that is a classy looking piece of hardware but I'm not a fan of the 44 mag... my nuropothy cringes at it...
I'm in. I've been busy as heck this last couple days.
I'm not sure I'll have my kydex and junk in time, if someone has extra I'll gladly pay, otherwise I'll just stop by and shoot the breeze.
I love the 686 6 inch I have... actually it has the best trigger job of all the revolvers I have currently.. It's like glass....
I'm gonna get this R8 looked at down at Sand Burr as it doesn't have 100% ignition and the trigger is still stiff... haven't tryed playing with it either, it's original...
If that 28 is still sitting in the back you will have to let me know... the 27/28 was the original magnum, the one that started the whole magnum craze...
In the 686 arena, I'm still looking for a 2.5 inch 6 shot and the Silhoutte 8 3/8th. inch barreled one to add to the collection... then I'll still want the 4 inch to complete the set... and a fine picture I have planned for the Gunbunnies models...
Yes I do... cause I'm not seeing any of them that I can afford currently... When I find the 8 3/8th. inch one, I know I can get ahold of a 4 inch one so were on... but it is looking like it might not be till spring with the weather changing...
You bringing that little snub out this next M&S or what ?

At this point it does not look like the class is going to fill up so if you would like to watch you are welcome too.
See, lonehoosier, if you weren't such a nice guy to have made the holsters for kev's lc9, we'd have to come do it ourselves.
But, perhaps we'll come by to shoot the breeze. And, swipe some kydex sliver scraps...i have an idea to modify my current holster.
