Great topic. Gah, I wish I had the kind of free time and resources available to me so I could do these projects. I'm envious of you 9-to-5 fuckers.
And that holster looks like absolute shit, Tele. But knowing you, you'll fix it right and have everybody wanting your product in 6 months.
That and who the fuck can get away with a straight 3 o'clock carry? I can either do appendix or 4:30, not 3. Only people that do 3 are cops, military, fat people, etc.
I'd love to get into kydex for non-gun things, too. A minimalist daily carry setup would be my first project... a simple friction sheath for my Leatherman and something unique to carry my cell phone that doesn't look like I should be in a
Revenge of the Nerds sequel would be nice. I'd also like to make a clamshell tear-away gizmo for blowout kits (e-bandage and tourniquet) stashed in my vehicles. The possibilities are endless here... which is totally gnarly.

Apparently working with kydex is on everybody's mind as of late:
