NWI Continuing Education-Kydex Workshop
When: Sunday December 2, 2012
Where: NWI 46342 (Address will be PM'd to members attending the night before)
Time: 12:30-20:00 Chicago/Central time.
I will be ordering supply's for this workshop. So I need a head count and what you want to make by Monday November 26, 2012 so I have enough to go around. All the supply's will be sold at cost. I will not make a dime off this.
This is a great opportunity to see how easy and cheep it is to make kydex holster. You will never pay full price for a holster again. For the cost of one holster you can get the tools and supply's to make your own. Most kydex holster can be made from $3.00 to $10.00
Things that can be made are IWB and OWB holster or mag pouches. You can also make knife sheaths and flashlight holders too.
Here's a list of supply's if you want to order your own stuff. It will also give you an ideal of what it will cost you to make your holsters. I will only sell the kydex in 12"x12" or 12"x24" sheets. It's up to you to use it wisely. Depending how good you are with the kydex you could possibly make 2 holsters with a 12x12 sheet or a holster and mag pouch.

I do have a hand setter but one more would be nice too have so there is no bottle necks.
As for hand tools we should be good. We could use a extra toaster oven and a heat gun depending on the number of people.

Please bring some kind of finger food to share if you can. We can order some pizza if we start to get hunger. You may want to bring some thing to drink.
