Stroker Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Looks good. You might want to try and glue the dog bone down a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Does the dogbone have the stitching on it? I can't tell from those pics http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?app=gallery&image=82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroker Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 What is that pull tab on the top? Its was present on the screen used boots. Just a bit smaller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K@nne Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Its was present on the screen used boots. Just a bit smaller. I was not sure about the size. So I used 1inch strap. Hope that's ok.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G935F mit Tapatalk I think 1 inch is fine that's what I used too. I believe he meant yours sticks out a bit too far, not the actual size. But it's not a big deal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Looks closer to 1/2 inch, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K@nne Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Looks closer to 1/2 inch, no? I would say is has the same size than the velcro. When I compare it to the distance of both stitching lines of the velcro . I would say it is the same size. My opinion 1inch is the better size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauitsch Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Will add the making/result of my boots here since the basic steps are actually similar to what the TE did, the difference is of course that I took a different pair of shoes from a random work boots offer off ebay and I decied to use real leather instead... When everything was finished, I started to pre-weather them and spent ages with polishing and fatting them in order to reach the smooth and glossy appearance. See the following for Sole cutting, Leather making and final result... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaabous Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Have any of you had problems with the right boot sagging once the holster and blaster are on it? Does it need any reinforcing? I was looking at scratch building the blaster, but I imagine it will be rather heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shada Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I added a strip of elastic with Velcro on the ends, which I riveted to the back of the holster. I strap it around my calf before closing the boot and putting the blaster in. It holds it up well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
