WIP Ammo pouches fully functionnal

Now that's a great ammo pouch! I can't wait to see the improved v2 ammo belt and pouch templates. Keep up the great work!
 
EDIT : These files corresponds to an ancient version. Please use those in Post #1.
First part of the tutorial :

EDIT 02/21/2012 : I add a zip file with the pattern in formats wmf an adobe illustrator (the adjustments will be easier).

This is the pattern in 3 PDF (A4 format). In this version there will be no gap in front as shown in the precedents pictures.(it's not a real problem because it will be invisible when the pouch will be finished).
After you print the pdf and reconstitute the pattern, i recommend you glue it on cardboard to increase the strength.
In the last pdf, you will find the pattern for the wood pieces i use for the structure.
I use plywood of 3 or 4 millimeters of thickness. You can use also medium (i don't know if the name is the same in your country, it's wood reconstituted with particles and it's cheaper than plywood).
In my next message, i will post a step by step tutorial with pictures.

This is really great stuff, Strum (and Rafal!) - thank you both very much for the tutorial! Gives me hope that I can accomplish this!

Quick question - do you have the above templates for the leather that surrounds the wood in Letter format (or is it required to be in A4 format due to the size)? Thank you again!

Few more quick questions:

For the stitching, do you recommend bonded nylon tan thread size 69, or something else (darker brown? different gauge? different material?)

When gluing any of the parts together, is there a specific type of glue you recommend over others that works well when bonding wood to imitation leather, magnets to imitation leather, imitation leather to itself, etc?

Thanks in advance!
 
Big bump!
I know this is about 3 years old...there is no mention at all and why isn't it sticky?
@StrumFett does great work with this tutorial. I already got some pouches...can't wait to finish it.
Very happy that i found it...!
