From vac forming to trimming on the router then bending on the strip heater. We go all out on making these beauties. One holster formed every 100 seconds. All material and hardware can be found at Holstersmith.com
@@brentermis4301 eventually we will be designing our own splits. But these particular splits/molds are already designed and implement certain attachments. Mainly used for repeat holsters
What’s the purpose for the two pieces of tape? I just fold them and clamp the trigger guard. Wouldn’t it create a gap and make the gun jiggle? Plus I didn’t know you could go the opposite way on the router. That will help me a lot. Great video.
Hey man, great videos, I've been watching all of them and I learn a lot. I have a question though if you don't mind. The first, is the smell, I live in a small house and only have my basement to work in, the smell drives my wife nuts. Do you know how to make it smell less? I use a heat press not an toaster oven, do you notice one smells less than the other?
Well to be honest. There will always be a smell when heating up kydex. Its like a faint skunk or weed and no in between. You can run a fumes extractor to help but have a dedicated space for everything
Nope. They're finish washers. I don't use them, but like I state in the vid, once a week I build my buddies holsters at his shop and thats how he would like them
I have 2 bandsaws and practically useless for Kydex. The wide blades snap or jump track when turned hard. Go back to your "good" old faithful scroll saw. I have worked wood with routers and shaper tables for years and scares the hell out of me to see any piece of material going away from blade just a jitter away from injury. Be safe
Yo Iggy, this probably isn't the best video to ask the question, but do you ever have an issue with the foam sticking to the Kydex? Recently some stuck so bad I can't get it off. I've tried, soap and water, rubbing alcohol, lysol wipes, hopps solvent... Nothing it getting it off all the way. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!!
I have! I have come to the conclusion that if its too hot and combined with a ton of pressure it sticks. I think of it as the pores of the material clamping down on the foam. Try a max of 350⁰
@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Well I'm glad I'm not alone. It's sure frustrating though. I usually heat to around 350 (I use the oven in the house), then have to run it out to the garage to put it in the foam press. I figured it would cool by the time I get it in the press. But I'll try to keep it at 350 or below. Thanks for the help!
