How many of you make your own gear?

Over the years I have slowly started making my own gear. I started out making holsters with my Dad when he ran a custom leather shop. I don't really do that much anymore since he retired and closed the shop.

I make all my own Kydex knife sheaths and have started making mag pouches and have dabbled with a holster here and there.

I make all my paracord gear bracelets and straps etc.

I realized today that one of my favorite slings is just an alice strap buckle with a few yards of Nylon webbing and tri-buckles.

I can actually make a heavier duty version for about a third the price. So I have enough to make 3 slings for the price of one. Now all my rifles will have the same sling on them.

I started looking at a lot of stuff that I want and realize I can do it myself and even with trial and error I can do as good a job or better for less. Now there are still plenty of things I don't have the skill, knowledge or equipment to make but I do enjoy making my own stuff and saving a bit of cash at the same time.

So what is your go to roll your own project?
