DIY Kydex Side Saddle/Shell Card

[Dannicus]

This one is pretty much just a first run. I built the form to create a 6-shell card, but I only have 12" sheets of kydex right now. 12" is just enough to make a 4-shell.

The loops are .060" kydex with a spot of the fuzzy side of velcro inside for holding friction. The backing card is .125".

Thanks, Powdered Toast Man!

You mind posting some up close pics? And some of the back? I would love to make one of these for myself.

Details on the jig would be awesome as well (unless it's going to become a trade secret or something)

Is that the jig in the pic?

Is that the jig in the pic?

Yeah, that's it.



It's just some dowels and steel rods into 2x2s. Not shown is there's a back portion that screws on to hold the flat backing against the looped strip and act as a drill guide for all the mounting holes.

Here's a couple closer pics of the card.





It's pretty rough, i know. On my holsters I usually buff the edges, but I wanted to knock this one out to see if it was even viable using this build method. I just knocked the burrs off and called it good.

That looks really good man, now to see if i can make my own.

You sell any if the stuff you make?

You sell any if the stuff you make?

Friends and co-workers mostly. I've pretty much made something for every gun owner my wife and I know. Haven't made any sheaths or holsters in a while, tho. Saturated the market, so to speak.
