How To Make A Leather Cowboy Holster And Belt
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- I've been paying Red Dead Redemption 2 for a few weeks, and no need to say that I love the game. So it was just a matter of time before I try and make something inspired by the game. This week, I decided to finally get to it and make Arthur Morgan's leather holsters.
I used 2.4mm/6oz vegetable tanned leather, dyed it brown with alcohol based leather dye and applied two coats of neatsfoot oil . I really like how it turned out, and I hope you'll like the build.
If you have any question, leave them in the comments, I'll do my best to answer them all. Till next week, keep making and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!!
That is just gorgeous man. With all those layers the gun belt and holsters must have used up most of a double shoulder by themselves! Well done, and I appreciate the close look at how!
Thanks a lot Jim!! It didn't take that much of leather to make them, but it took a lot of time ;)
I love watching you work mate! Your creations are always stunning!
Thank you Dan. I appreciate it! :)
It's lovely just watching you work, and then you make this beautiful and complex project!
Thank you Sharon! I really appreciate that!
I love so much your work my friend ;) I travel to Red Smith world thanks for this moments :) big hug for all
Thank you! Hope the family is doing well! Hugs to all!
@@RedSmithWorkshop everything ok thanks my friend,same to you ;)
Yay double feature! It reminds me when I was a kid, and we went to the movie theater sunday afternoon - two movies for the price of one. Happy days, also for our parents! lol
- and really great work.
Thanks a lot!! When I was a kid, during the cinema festival we could see five movies for the price of one. And it lasted for three days. I was very tired after 15 movies, but it's good memories ;)
@@RedSmithWorkshop Lol, yeah I would think you would be, and yes great memories. :)
I love the music. Reminds me of Firefly. Good content, too. Love your videos
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated :)
Beautiful craftsmanship !
,
Thank you very much!
Very good bro 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
What Talent. Great video.
Thank you very much!
I've really been looking into owning a single action or a black powder revolver and now I feel confident I can make my own holsters and belts. Walk around like a sheriff lol
excellent videos! keep on making!
Thanks a lot! Good luck with your builds :)
That’s old west well done dude.
Thanks a lot😊
Not too fancy but what ya need to hold 2 six shooters....well done
Yep, people just don't have the attention span for your excellence... Keep making long videos.
Thanks a lot Shane!😊👍
8:42 is long ?
The most beautiful craft and culture of the Cowboy's, it's like a dream for me in India . Just can't take my eyes off this video. I can say more but I love everything about this American wild West .Thank you Sir and God bless you. Be safe out there. Pune City Jai Maharashtra.
Thanks a lot! Take care!
That's great, the American wild west is a great part of our history, it inspirers all and makes dreams. If you can have a non-firing replica in India, look into Denix western revolvers, they are non firing replicas for displays, movies, and reenactments, that you can shoot those little plastic toy caps from with their dummy cap bullets, theres a youtuber that shows his Denix, its very nice, his channel is @JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen if you're interested. Hope this helps you in your venture to cowboy showmanship.
How much do you charge for just a belt with cartridge loops and cross draw holster ?
Send me an email to theredsmith@hotmail.com and we can discuss that
I really enjoyed the video, very nice workmanship and probably more traditional than most.. However I have a few issues.. and bnb I can overlook them.. but 45ACP rounds, and the guns too big for the holster.. and I love to see it laid out complete and not rolled up..
Thank a lot! I used the rounds I had and the guns are toys. The holster are not my design but exactly like the ones in the game, so...but thanks :)
Sarebbe interessante sapere il nome esatto di tutti gli attrezzi utilizzati nel video. 🙂
È vero. Cercherò di inserire più nomi di strumenti nella descrizione dei miei video futuri. Grazie mille per la visione!!
Superbe vidéo !
Merci !
I'm interested in leather work and was wondering, where do you purchase your leather
I live in France so I buy it in my local leather supplier. But you can find stores online
Good Stuff!! Much appreciated. I grew up around a Leather Shop specializing in Saddlery. They made holsters and knife sheaths as well as an accessory on Saddles and Personal..., I recall one of their Apprentices stating when asked about a certain feature on a Saddle how the Owners stepped in, beginning the Customer's conversation with: "He's just a Novice..., he's only had 20-years training in Saddlery..., can I help you"!? At first I thought he was being rude but the "Novice" quickly agreed with the Owner stating: "I make Saddles but I'm still learning and have to be Supervised". (Yes, because one slip-up and you just Bought That Saddle)!! Leather seems to have "Instant Memory" while us humans take years...,
Thank you so much for sharing this story. I've been working with leather for more than 10 years and there is so many thing I still need to learn, I really understand what he meant! Thank you for watching! Have a great week.
I know this is an older vid but I just found you. Just a tip, before you wrap your guns, tape a wooden dowel rode on top of the barrel. That’s so when you form the holster you will leave a path for the front site when it is drawn.
Good tip! Thanks
Can you please tell me where you got the guns. Are they real or just good replicas?
I got them on Amazon France. They are nice and cheap replicas :)
The Redsmith thanks a bunch. I’ve been wanting to make something like this for ages but I didn’t have a gun to use. Are they listed as replicas or something like cap guns?
They are cap guns, sold as cosplay accessories
Can i get the pattern
It will be on my website as soon as I find the time. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work G. Very impressive
Thank you Steve!😊
So both holsters are right hand draw? I keep going back and looking. So one is for cross draw and the other for right hip draw. Not seen that set up before....
That's how it's made in the game.
Thank you so much ! Nice work!
Thank you very much!!
Such beautiful work 😍 you make it look effortless.
Thanks a lot Brian! Just like you when you're woodworking! :)
The Redsmith ☺️😊
Fun to watch this version.
Thanks :)
Amazing work as always. Thanks for the great video, i might actually give this a go as soon as i get the leather.
Thank you very much! Please do :)
Really is beautiful.
Thanks a lot my friend! Much appreciated!
Your work is magnificent! I've watched videos of holsters but made with many tools and resources. Your work has much more value, because it is done manually. I collect replicas of pistols and revolvers and also make holsters for them. I don't have specific tools for the job and I often improvise. Yesterday I made a holster for my Remington 1875 and a rustic wooden frame to put it on. Congratulations for your work.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your feedback and kind words. Improvisation is often the key to success. Don't hesitate to share your work :)
@@RedSmithWorkshop thanks my friend!
I'm more than slightly late to the party but I think this video has given me the motivation to turn my idea of making my own gunbelt and holsters into reality. I'm giving serious consideration to trying out cowboy action shooting and figured my period correct costume should be based on the outfit I chose to play through the entirety of RDR2 wearing.
Thanks a lot Ray. You just made my day with your kind words. happy my video gave you the motivation to do it!
Very cool Video mate :).
Thanks a lot
I am wanting to make my own holster.. I have all videos I can find.. This one is the absolute best I have seen .. Awesome . I'm going to do it..
Thank you very much. I hope it will help you!! Have a good day!
The only critique I have, is that you used 9mm luger rounds for a semi-auto pistol and not .38 cal or .357 mag revolver rounds. But that aside, awesome work, I'm looking forward to making a .22 cal version for my father-in-law.
Thanks a lot. Yeah, it's because the guns are toys for my kids and I used the rounds I had in the house at that time :)
Per saami spec, a 9mm case is .001" larger than 357 & 38, so it'll work for all.
Love it!!! Now I'm going to have to go get a black powder revolver or 3 and make one myself!!. Any tips on how to make a pattern for the holster?
Thanks a lot! the best way to make a pattern is to use cardboard. Make it a little bit bigger as the leather shrinks down a bit when it dries. And most importantly, have fun :)
Great video! It shows tools and jigs and their use that I hadn’t seen before. Kudos.
Thanks a lot!!
What leather do you use?
It's in the video description.
Muy bonito trabajo lo felicito un saludo desde ARGENTINA
Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Francia
Do you sell these? I’m trying to put together an Arthur Morgan cosplay and finding a holster seems to be the hardest part! 🤠
Yes I do. What kind of guns are you using for your cosplay ?
@@RedSmithWorkshop I haven’t actually found a gun yet so I’m not sure. What guns did you use in this video?
@@Mr.complexx I used replicas bought on Amazon. A bit small for my hands but good quality for the price.
@@RedSmithWorkshop oh ok, thank you! Are they still on Amazon nowv
@@Mr.complexx Yes they are: www.amazon.fr/dp/B000VBJGJE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_9f96FbD4X77HM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
www.amazon.fr/dp/B000JWJ0RS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Kg96FbKB07H6J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Vraiment impressionnant
Merci beaucoup !
Next time you do something like this ry using alcohol instead of water, it works just as well and you need not worry about rust, just remember to oile the leather after it drys. The alcohol will remove some of the oils from the leather
All the years I've been working with leather, I've never heard of wet shaping with alcohol. Sounds smelly and dangerous.
It is a thing, and there is occasional written reference .
The advantage is the gun can be put directly in without a protective layer of plastic . Works best when the holster already pretty much fits, and you are going on detail molding .
The classic example is for factory made holster, to then get exact. "Wet Molding " .
I want to buy one
Send me an email to theredsmith@hotmail.com and we can discuss it. Thanks for watching!
Gooood jop ....
Thank you!!
Why make them both the same side though? Wouldn’t they be opposite?
That's how they are in the game. But I thought the same thing.
Nice work
Thanks
Salut bien joué pour le holster dit tu en a fait un juste pour toi ou tu en a déjà refait et vendu
Merci beaucoup ! Oui, j'en fait et j'en vends (avec les pistolets qui sont des jouets à pétard).
@@RedSmithWorkshop en faite jai une soirée western et jai commandé un revolver colt en réplique airsofteur et du coup tu a un cite pour avoir tes prix
Pour faire un holster pour un revolver, il me faut le revolver (comme tu as pu le voir dans le vidéo) car le cuir est moulé autour. Cela permet d'avoir un holster sur mesure. C'est pour cela que le holster n'est pas sur mon site internet. Je vends l'ensemble avec les guns que j'ai ou alors, il faut m'envoyer le revolver pour que je puisse faire le holster sur mesure.
How far apart do you punch ur hols for the bullets and what kinda glue do you use?
It depends on the size of the bullets.

O chapéu inclui frete de 250 euros.

Thanks a lot. I'll try to put one in the comment as soon as I have time to do so. Thanks for watching.
Great craftsmanship

Do you mean you want to buy it ?
Yes
But I would like to know the price
mm? Are you European?
Yes
@@RedSmithWorkshop You do wonderful work.
@@borealpatriot1502 Thank you very much!
Well, i wish the holsters in rdr2 would be like yours. In the game they suck, way to big and only the barrel of the gun is actually in the holster 🤣🤣🤣🤣, they really messed it up big time
You're right! I tried to make it look like the ones in the game, but also so the guns fit better inside. I hope I got it right ;) Thanks for watching!
