My first Kydex projects...

Turned out okay-ish. Definitely functional, if not great looking.

Looks like you did a fine job!

The only more thing more satisfying than having the right tool or the job, is making the right tool yourself.

Bravo!
If you're reading this, there are better than even odds you are a d-bag.

Yeah, looks pretty good! I assume the screws go to belt loops on the back? How does the AR mag pouch attach to your belt?

Thanks, Pat! The screws are for belt loops. I haven't made any for the AR mag yet, but they'll attach the same way.

Looks good to me. Did you use a heat gun or an oven? Mind if I ask what a sheet of kydex costs?

Thanks! Both, actually. I "cook" it in a toaster oven, and use the heat gun to adjust retention, etc. I'm buying my kydex from knife kits.com.
