Sidewalker Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hey everyone. I've been tasked with making pouches for a couple of local guys building TD's. I've started with the leather MP40 pouch, and this is what came out of working while watching the OT. I'm going to try my hand at the small Spanish pouch next, and when I run out of leather I'll try making the canvas MP40 pouch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Very nice work, Shawn! If you round off the flaps a bit, you'll have an even more accurate look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Take a look at the backs of mine. I have some photos in my thread under the For Sale section. I would suggest going with a double rivit for each slot on the bottom back as well at the flaps on tops on the back. That was something I noticed from photos that Juan shared with me. Strength wise you are fine with 1 but 2 are more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Those pouches look really good! You could add 2 rivets on the top and two on the bottom of each slot on the back to make them more screen accurate. Like this: Are you planning to provide them further on, or just making this two sets for those local guys? Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster 8266 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Something you might try also. I rely on strong stiching versus the rivets. I like to stich them first then add the trivets more for show. Just my opinion I think its a little stronger. Either way your pouches look great.

It looks like there are a lot of options out there for pouches, so I'm not going to try marketing myself when there are already well known vendors. However I do have the patterns and can make more if there is interest. Here are some pictures of the small Spanish pouch I made. And with the MP40 pouches.
