And if anyone has a spare Imperial Officer's Cap (Black) or Belt they would like to unload, feel free to bring them!
See you Sunday!
Excellent Ted! There are a couple of highly recommended makers on the IOC boards. I just ordered one for myself from ASU Marine. I'm sure some folks at the party can suggest a belt maker.

What about Rocky Roe ice cream? Sloth love Chunk. I've got some stuff to work on. Plus the room will be filled with experts. I have plenty of questions. I have a Dremel, dremel bits, rivet gun, different size rivets, snaps. Pretty much all the stuff that will be needed to beat up plastic.

I know it's a haul out here for a lot of folks for sure, but I've got a great place to host and I've been wanting to organize one for quite awhile now. I know we'll have a great time, help some people along and get some things done. I hope to see as many as possible, it looks like we'll have a great turn out!

Is there appropriate black leather available at Tandy Leather in Elgin? They're very close and you should be able to get it there. I've made a holster for my snowie and I know that Gaza's made at least two or three of them, not too mention there'll be several others who've done tks there too.

Tandy does have it but you might not be able to buy a small piece of what you need. Ask the guys there if they have any remnants off to the side. Otherwise your looking at buying a big piece for around $80-100. You could make a bunch them.Sakic Jade wrote:I'm sure they do, just don't know if I'll have time before Sunday.jweger77 wrote:Sakic Jade wrote:If anyone has any spare leather that could be used to make a TK holster and wants to bring it, I'd be grateful.
