Tele, nice work! For crossbreed style holsters, those look really good. The definition, especially on the revolver is quite impressive. About your press: I particularly like the idea of tie down straps. Not sure why I haven't ever thought of that before. I've been talking myself in and out of buying one of the presses off of knifekits, but I haven't come to the point where it's "gotta have it" vs "I just want it" yet. A question on the foam material...using a netbook right now so the pictures are fairly small. Are you using camping mats or something else?

Question: Do you have retention when the leather is flat?
I molded my Kydex with exposed wood on the "bottom" and when I put the formed Kydex on top of the leather then slide the gun in I have a big gap on top of the kydex.
Pictures aren't helping me see the "depth" of the Kydex.
Thanks.

I haven't messed around with this yet, but one thing I might recommend is using the wood/flat surface on the bottom, but molding the kydex with the leather in place. It's not going to harm the leather, and the beauty of kydex is that if you mess it up, just toss it back under adequate heat and it reverts back to sheet form.
