The accents are metal somewhere between tin and aluminum- didn't pay enough attention when I bought it. They we cut from one large sheet and hammered into place.<br /><br />I haven't had any issues with phones or credit cards or that sort of thing, but the magnets' destructive potential was certainly on my mind during construction. I kept everything electronic a good distance away during that process, and will likely take similar precautions whenever it's in use. I don't see it causing any real disasters though. <br /><br />Commissions are a pretty rough question for me. I'm always gratified by someone being so interested in my work that they would want to buy it, and love the idea of putting my stuff out there. In the case of this holster, at least, I would say the answer would have to be no purely for practicality's sake. It took way too long to make (upwards of 18 hours), absolutely mauled my hands, and has $35 worth of magnets in it. This would push a fair asking price beyond what I would ever ask someone to pay, making the whole proposition something of a brick wall.a Gray Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357081962707932143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374593466920457552.post-50466067711966791972012-04-02T15:43:51.608-04:002012-04-02T15:43:51.608-04:00That is amazing.

I really dig what you did with your holster, though- securing everything under the sun right up to a Praxis in size with a drop-leg setup is really sweet business. I'd wager an AT would be doable with yours as well.a Gray Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357081962707932143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374593466920457552.post-74094146264181231862012-04-02T09:10:38.766-04:002012-04-02T09:10:38.766-04:00Ironic that we were both working on holsters this ...Ironic that we were both working on holsters this weekend.
