[@roypaulcarter4654]

Nice. The best one I have seen and I’ve been researching a lot of videos.

[@tradesmanfirearms]

Daaaaanggg thanks!

[@johnsanford3596]

That is probably one of the heaviest Kydex presses out there.

[@tradesmanfirearms]

It ain’t light!

Current Student - As of 12/26/23 - Requirements are unchanged. Did not build out a similar press, but for sure went off script from course suggestions. - Merry Christmas.

[@tradesmanfirearms]

Awesome, thanks.

[@bbaileystl]

holy crap! exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you

[@tradesmanfirearms]

Amazing! Glad I could help!

[@jamessmith-np7yf]

What u have built is like a book press, good job😁

[@tradesmanfirearms]

Yea that was some of the inspiration. Thanks.

[@Elimn8r64]

Weld a 1/2" nut to the center of the end of the handle and use a small impact or drill to tighten it down. faster

[@tradesmanfirearms]

That’s a pretty clever idea!

I just go into the custom kydex holster class in two weeks i got my package how is week one and week two.

[@tradesmanfirearms]

It’s not bad I fast tracked my way through this course because I was taking a vacation.

[@ThePeerlessScarred]

this is nuts actually - you should see mine

[@tradesmanfirearms]

If it works and you spend less than $100.00 you’re probably smarter than me lol. Thanks.

[@tristanhodges751]

I just wanted to say specially as a new SDI student watching your videos and seeing the tools you’re using is definitely going to help me and I hope you don’t mind I steal some of your ideas like building that press you got there lol thank you for what you’re doing keep up the hard work 💪🏼

[@tradesmanfirearms]

Bro that’s why I share! So you don’t make the same dumb mistakes I do lol! Good luck in the program and reach out if you have any questions!

[@tristanhodges751]

[@tradesmanfirearms]

@@tristanhodges751 thanks man! My goal is to be the smallest channel ever to give away a gun so stay subscribed cause it’s gonna happen lol!

[@tristanhodges751]

@@tradesmanfirearms Also just one question how did you mount the foam to the steel? Did you use glue?

[@tradesmanfirearms]

@@tristanhodges751 honestly I painted it and really didn’t wait long enough between when the paint dried and when I started the project so the sticky spray paint held the foam perfectly. I didn’t want to glue it because the foam is an expendable.

Hey bud, who's your instructor, im doing week 3 of the 114 right now

[@tradesmanfirearms]

Marc Gonzalez. How’s your holster going. I’ll be posting the video of mine tonight. Not to brag, it’s looking real good.

[@garrettlassitter7692]

@Tradesman Firearms damn, I was hoping we had the same class. Mine is Josh Barton. It's going good, I'm making a double magazine holder for my carry gun.
