Thanks,
I couldn't find the picture earlier. I worked it and worked it and got it on, but it compromised its shape quite a bit. I'm going to get some new caps, hopefully and try again. I don't know how it could be off so much.
You'd think this would go ok.
but the cap is the exact same diameter as the pipe.
Tried some heat but it didn't go so well.
That really derailed my momentum.
Laid out the belt last night. We've cut the canvas. My wife is going to sew it up tonight. I cut a pattern out of poster board for the holster. I have the leather for it already.
Trying to work out this interior strapping. I started with double snap plates, but ended up cutting them in half. I may regret that.
Move along, move along.

Picked up some more snaps. Finally finished. I'll share my method for smashing snaps.
I should be able to start on the interior strapping this weekend.

I bet some one else chimes in, especially since you got the picture thing figured out.I'm saving the back of my shins for last. I think that may be one of the most troublesome points.

I had the same pinch. You can drop a little CA in behind it and then sand down the front. If there's still som there after the trim anyway. Once you hit it with some 1200 sandpaper, use some plastic polish and you wont even see it.
Novus plastic polish is great stuff.
