Now I'll try my hand at making a sheath or two. Still need a couple tools & some kydex to practice with.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171215/4d7f7b3fe0d1662579d286bb49724fba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171215/5f4d0c195eaebfe25d46704ea4718ecb.jpg

Like with a single screwdriver holster?That's more like it, yes. Maybe an eye glasses screwdriver.
LOL, let us know how it goes.
It’s not horribly complicated if you take your time. Here are a couple I made with a similar homemade press.

I'm gonna need a skeletonized, front carry IWB for this. Its name is Lorena.

Be careful with the re-holstering with that one. Especially appendix carry.
Also, what is a beer holster for? When it's empty, you just put it down...don't need a holster for that.

Serves as a spitter, need free hands for shoveling in more dip before midnight so your drunken, weird aunt doesn't "want a kiss for New Years".

Nice Ray!
Thanks. It’s really not that difficult. Just a little time consuming. YouTube is full of helpful information. Popsicle sticks and blue painters tape are my friends. Learning what parts of a pistol to block out and what parts to make clearance channels for make a huge difference in retention and ease of drawing and reholstering. Also, I have a small heat gun that works great for fine tuning small areas of the holster for a better fit or for putting a curve on the holster to better conform to your waistline.
Not sure how much kydex I have on hand but I might have enough to get you started if you need some. I’ll shoot you a PM shortly.

Shout out to Ray! Got some material on hand to tinker with.
No sir. No need for beer holster. Bring a friend and say,
"Here.....hold my beer!"
Here's the press I recently made. Works extremely well. Best use for a scissor jack that I can think of.
