Making a Clip On Gun Magazine Pouch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- For this clip on leather magazine pouch, I used two layers of 3-4 ounce Wickett & Craig vegetable tanned leather and bonded nylon thread, with a spring steel clip to attach it to the belt. If you didn't want to line the pouch, I'd recommend a single layer of 7-8 ounce leather for the body, though I'd still suggest 3-4 ounce for the clip pocket panel.

► LEATHER SUPPLIERS
Wickett & Craig - I typically order their "Tooling/Holster/Carving" vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their "Standard" grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I'm lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc... They will allow you to purchase individual hides
Herman Oak - While I love the leather I've gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells "Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend", so I’ve been using this lately.
The Leather Guy - I don't have a lot of experience with this leather, but the "Artisan's Choice" leather I've used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy's website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you'll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!
District Leather - I've never personally ordered from them, but I've heard good things about their leather.
Acadia Leather - I've never purchased from here either, but I've also heard good things about their leather.
Horween Leather - At the risk of sounding repetitive, here's another I've never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.
Weaver Leathercraft - Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.

After watching your video making a single mag pouch about 25 times, I decided to try it myself. Turned out okay except for the rivet, I used a copper one and I cut too long and it mushroomed on me. I filed it down, will try another after I get more leather. Thanks again for the video!
Received my 1911 holster and mag carrier a couple weeks ago and used it this last weekend. Fit great and was very comfortable. Worth the wait and price. Thank you again.
Thank you Jerry - glad to hear you received it and that you're happy with your gear. Thank you for letting me know! Take care, and thank you for your business!
Thank you Adam for sharing your BEAUTIFUL STUNNING CRAFTSMANSHIP
Nice work! I've been making holsters, mag pouches, and belts, among other leather goods for 40+ years. In the future, when lining a holster or mad poich, try using 8-9 ounce leather, and pig suede for the lining. As far as visible contact cement, you can use a pencil eraser with light pressure to remove any exposed glue. Keep uo the great work!
Thanks George - I need to buy some more erasers. My white eraser takes quite a bit of effort, and all my pencil erasers (the pink kind) are hard and dry. Do you find the pink erasers work well for you? I don't have any of the yellow gum erasers around to try. Regarding lining with suede - I know a lot of makers use it, but also know a lot of makers avoid it for the possibility of it trapping dirt and possibly causing more damage to the gun's finish. Since you suggested it, I'm assuming you haven't had any negative problems with using suede as a lining? I tend to keep 3-4 ounce veg tan around for wallets, journal covers and that sort of thing, so it's usually on-hand when a holster lining job comes along.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks, if you go to a woodworking supply store, (not the big box stores), you can pick up a sanding belt " eraser". It's about 10 inches long, 1 1/2 square. They work great for that, and it will last you forever. It's the gum type, and not that expensive. As far as pig suede, I've never had issue with it, but everyone's methods differ.
Tight stitch lines are stretchable. Loose stitch lines equal wasted time and leather. Love your videos, man.
Thanks Ronnie! And good point!
Love the new format! Awesome video once again! Your constant improvement is great. I like the fact that you leave the mistakes in so we all can learn. Great stuff brother! I cant wait until you build mine! Take care, Brian.
Thanks Brian, I appreciate it. Fortunately, leather is pretty forgiving - it forgives me quite often. LOL Thank you for watching!
I have learned a lot from your videos, so thanks for posting them!
Thanks David - I appreciate that! I wish I could post way more often, but not enough hours in the day, unfortunately. Thanks for watching and for your support!
I made IWB Holsters when I was a Lae Enforcement Officer, but I didn't do Mag Pouches. Yours are great!
Thank you. I've made very few IWB mag pouches myself. Thanks for watching and for your LEO service.
I've never worked leather in my life. But something about these videos just fascinates the hell out of me. I could watch them all day. It all started by wondering how my DeSantis gun holster was made. And now I've watched like 10 of these videos
Thanks for watching Chris! Sam Andrews has some great videos on Hank Strange's channel if you haven't seen them yet.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks yes, I watch him too. I mean how could you not like his soothing voice? Lol that guy should be narrating audiobooks or doing Ken Burns documentaries
Great job. I definitely picked up a couple of tips. Thank you!
Great tutorial again. Came out looking great
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
A gum eraser should take the exposed cement off the mag pouch once everything is dry, but before the Resolene.
Thank you Jason - I always forget about that trick. Thank you for mentioning it! Take care, and thanks for watching!
The black brown airbrush technique you are using is amazing. I guess now I have to get an airbrush and start practicing :-)
Thank you! It's a nice color combo. Thanks for watching & commenting!
Very nice quality work
Great job!
Nice Job. John P, Bull Brand Leather
Very Nice. I like the Airbrush method.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Same thing happened to me but with a knife sheath. Live and learn is what i say. great job.
Thank you! My brain turns to mush once I hit the record button. LOL
Hi I have injoy watching your video I would like to see your spray booth how it’s made thank
Enjoyable as always! Great job...
Thank you Johnny!
Why did you wait until the end to hammer the rivet into the clip using the magazine as an anvil? This risks deforming the magazine.....
Yes, the timing could have been better in hindsight but it was my first time making that particular setup. That being said, I don’t own the actual gun and there wasn’t a mold available for the magazines, so I purchased a pair of actual mags for the build and when I finished the pouch, the undamaged magazine got tossed into a box with all my other magazines that are only used for forming mag pouches.
Sometimes buying actual mags is cheaper than buying molds, and the molds aren’t always made correctly (some are molded with no bullets in them...).
Really Nice Job ! I like your videos and your style of construction, first rate. I really need to learn to airbrush ! Can you describe your filter setup for airbrushing? Looks like it works pretty good.
Thanks Fred - I just posted a couple images of my cabinet to my Instagram feed. If you're not on Instagram, this is what I said: It’s made from cheap 1/2” plywood and has two 24” fans mounted on the back wall to pull fumes away from me. I roll the cabinet in front of my shop door so all the fumes blow outside. I keep my small compressor in the bottom left corner, and various other related supplies on the other shelf and cubby. There’s a power strip mounted inside, with extension cords running to lamps that clip onto the ceiling.
Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I don't have Instagram... yet ! But I think I get the idea from your description. Such a great idea to keep fumes away from you, as well as being a handy way to do your airbrushing ! Thanks again !
Aw man that’s what I need except maybe a double 40 caliber pouch 👝 pack! I know ur busy sir, but I can wish....take care...
I want one!
Does any shop air compressor complement the badger 150 airbrush system?
First time seeing one of your videos. Awesome work!
Thank you!
Nice! And I have done the same thing with stitching or forgetting to do so....we never stop learning do we? You have been a great teacher for me..thanks!
Wait till you see my next video - where I also forgot to sew the lining layer together. LOL! Maybe one of these days I'll make a video with zero mistakes, but I'm not holding my breath. Thank you for watching, and glad you've found the videos helpful, even with the mistakes! :)
Adams LeatherWorks Mistakes left in are good. We all learn from them. Makes it real.
Great video!💯
Thanks 💯
Very nice bro!😁
Thank you! Cheers!
This is Good info
Look like you forgot to stamp your logo. I watched how you made all these gun holsters as if I wanted to make one. All I wanted to know is how to patch a hold in my leather seat with a glue.
Thanks for watching! There was a period in time when I was between maker's marks. My old delrin stamp was damaged and no longer usable, and my laser isn't always ideal for applying the mark, so a few orders went out without the stamp on them until I was able to get my new brass stamps up and running. My F-150's driver seat has a hole in it that I never got around to fixing. Truck has 360k miles on it, so I'm not really worried about it anymore. Did you ever figure out how to fix yours?
Wow it’s beautiful glock mag holder. How much?
Nice work!
Thank you!
Id love one of these maybe a dual mag for a baby rock .308 1911A
This is awesome , may i ask where can find that clip in video you using and what that clip name.
luv it
Can you make a template for a Shield 9? If you are planing on it when do you think it will be available for purchase from you're site?
You did this with the Class26?
Class 4
Nice Job!
Thank you Bob!
This is great work and I love how it came out! I really like how you did the metal clip. One question, isn't the clip on the wrong side? Shouldn't it be on the same side as the sweat guard?
Thank you! The clip orientation is a good question. It depends on how you want to carry it. In this particular placement, it would be IWB, or worn between the belt and the pants. My experience with these clips is they're very difficult to remove if the clip is facing inward. My preferred orientation would be between the belt and the pants, but it's personal preference.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Oh! I completely forgot that it was IWB. That makes sense. Thanks!
Where did you get the spring steel clip?
jrmclips.com/metal-clip-series/3000-series-clips/
Best of the best! good reason to end the day)
Thank you Benjamin!
Is this pouch for IWB or OWB? Trireme the helpful video.
The customer wanted it for IWB, but it could be worn OWB between the belt and pants. Or clipped outside the belt if the clip was installed on the opposite side.
Thanks so much for your prompt reply.
Where you buy your leather at
I usually buy my leather from Springfield Leather.
nice video,but show what model is your sewing machine, and short tutorial how you yse her pls.Thank you!
Thank you! I have a Cobra Class 4. Do a Google search for "cobra class 4 tutorial" and look for the tutorials by Al Bane. There's no way I can do a better tutorial than him.
Where can I get a stain air brush like that?
Does any shop
Very outstanding work ... if you considerer send a pair of leather holster and a 1911 pistol holster, please, let me know! All lhe best!!
How do u like those head knives? I never used one.
I really like it. It's the only one I have. There's some other knife styles I'd like to try one of these days, but the round / head knife is a must-have in my personal opinion.
Kardeşim merhaba, ellerine sağlık, harika işler yapıyorsun.
What sewing machine is that ?
Cobra Class 4
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Thanks. I like the shortened "arm" at the end as opposed to the 4500 Cowboy and the like.
You could always use some 2 sided tape on gluing the clip piece in lieu of using glue.
You mean something along the lines of basting tape? If so, that's a great idea.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I don't know what it is called other than 2 side tape, sticky on both sides. I have used it many times when I just need to hold something in place around the edge to sew it. I have bought it at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc. There are several widths of it which is good.
Thanks Eddie - I'll probably have to buy some to keep on hand.
why did you glue 2 pieces of leather. Was this thin leather?
Yes, it was thin. And it went with a matching holster that was lined. So I lined the mag pouch also.
Nice work
Do you have to double the layers? I'm sure for sturdiness it would last longer, but j guess I'm just curious on this part. I've tried making my own, and before I sew this i dont want to make a mistake . I just want to do it right.
I would not hammer the rivet against the magazine. I use a piece of steel instead.
Those rivets don’t take much force to set. I don’t own the real gun and will never use this magazine in an actual firearm. Consider it a dummy mag mold. Sometimes molds aren’t available for a particular mag (and most mag molds are pathetic anyway) so there’s no other option and you have to buy a real mag. And I don’t have chunks of steel laying around…
do you do custom orders I'm looking for a chest rig for a springfield xds chest rig
I do take orders on my website, but I've never made anything like that before.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks would you be willing to try
Beautiful work! Very inspirational! Thank you Adam!!!
Thank you very much!
What do you use to spray your dye?
I use the Badger 150 that I bought in the 90's. There an affiliate link to the new model on Amazon in the description.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks thanks
Man ive recently started using the 50/50 resoline but man it changes the color and makes it so dark amd super shiny. Im not liking it. It doesnt look like your color changes to much. I dont get it
That is really interesting. How are you applying it, and did you change the application method after switching to the 50/50 ratio? If the application method stayed the same, I would think you’d notice less gloss, not more. I’ve literally used the 50/50 ratio since day one (ten years ago) so I don’t really have a frame of reference.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks i use the same sponge brush you use. I use fiebings dye. I used to use tan kote but ive had problems with dye bleeding onto customers credit cards after sweating a lot. Tan kote darkens it some but seems like the resolene is much worse. Like my light brown becomes a dark brown almost as dark as your mag pouch
Just to make sure I’m understanding you, you used to use Tan Kote and are now trying the Resolene 50/50, but you’ve never actually used full strength Resolene? I have a bottle of Tan Kote, but never use it. If memory serves, I believe I also felt it had bleeding issues. I believe it can be used as a thinner for their antique paste, which leads me to believe its spirit based instead of water based. And since water has a tendency to darken leather a bit, I wonder if that’s the difference you’re seeing?
@@AdamsLeatherWorks i just watched the eric larson video you suggested and he said to wipe off the access not to let it flash. I took a piece of leather from my project that was dyed a few days ago and tried the resolene mixture but then wiped it before it dried. It wasnt nearly as dark. It still darkened it but thats to be expected with anything you put on. I think my problem was putting so much on and just letting it sit over night
@@AdamsLeatherWorks but yes i think i was just saturating it to much and letting it sit to long causing it to just keep darkening. Man i really appreciate your thoughts
The only change I'd make is I'd use a darker thread, otherwise nice work!
Thanks Dan - this was for a customer, so he picked the thread. :)
Just curious as to why you made it an IWB pouch.
Hi I've been trying to email you but for some reason I keep getting them back.

Awesome work good sir!
Thank you!
Your gum trag is yellowish, how old is that bottle? Uhm did you just set a rivet with the mag in the pouch? Not wise sir, not wise at all. Consider installing your clip before you sew your outside seam. Setting the rivet on the magazine is a good way to warp the mag. Also, you may want to consider not finishing your edges until last. Right now you are doing things twice and that resolene isn't going to soak into any spot that has gum trag and wax. If you make a lot of these you may want to consider getting a form instead of using the actual magazine.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. The small bottle of gum trag is very old. But I refill it from a larger bottle that's not nearly as old. Hadn't noticed it being yellow (may just be the lighting), but I'll pay more attention to it next time I open it. I agree it's not a good idea to routinely bang on magazines that see 'normal' use (used in an actual firearm), but it doesn't take much force to set a speedy rivet. Besides, I bought the mag for the sole purpose of forming mag pouches (I don't own the actual gun, and I own a lot of real magazines specifically set aside for the purpose of forming mag pouches). Some mag molds are molded without bullets in them, which is useless for molding mag pouches, and I don't believe there was one available at the time for the XD-M 10mm. Everyone burnishes in different ways. In the 10+ years I've been working with leather, I haven't had any problems with applying Resolene over gum'd and waxed edges - you just have to make sure to buff away the excess wax. When I first started, I also waited till the end to burnish my edges. And then I realized it was WAY easier to do the majority of burnishing prior to molding, and then simply touch up the edges at the end. I typically slick the edges with water so dye goes on smoothly, then burnish with gum trag and wax. Then I polish the edges at the end before the sealer completely dries. Works pretty well for me, but if you have a video showing your way, I'm always happy to learn something new.
Excellent video, I love how you do trial and error with these new designs, creating them from scratch fully on camera and keeping in any mistakes to show how you go about developing these lovely holsters. I have a few questions about your process! I've seen in a few of your videos that you always seem to wet your leather when bending or molding it with soapy water, and I don't think I've ever seen another holster maker on here use that. Is there a reason for the soap in the water rather than just the plain water that gives you some kind of benefit? Also, is there any particular reason why you mix water in your Acrylic sealer at the end?
Thank you! As we gain more experience, our mistakes are (hopefully) smaller or less impactful on the project. But the important thing to remember is we all make them, and only by reaching the finish line can we look back and evaluate our work and make improvements on future projects or techniques. Regarding the soapy water, science says the soap lowers the viscosity of water. Whether or not that affects absorption into leather - I don’t know, but I’d like to think it helps. Plus, it’s nice to have a little soapy water near by to help clean my hands or the workbench. And thinning the acrylic sealer - that’s just something I learned when I first started a decade ago, and I’ve stuck with it. I believe it results in a less glossy surface. And since I brush it on pretty liberally, I believe it allows it to soak further into the leather to help stiffen it (important for holsters and related gear), while helping to avoid too much gloss.
Nice to see someone concentrate on the pattern. So important! I learned by watching beginners filming. Ended up making tons of mistakes by following someone who's just learning instead of experienced leather workers.
Wow! Great work. I am learning alot from your work. Please keep doing this!
Thanks Jason, I appreciate it and glad you're finding the videos helpful! Got another one coming next week for the companion holster that was ordered with this mag pouch.
@21:40, personally I would not hammer on a magazine full of bullets; but that's just me. Everybody to their own tastes, I guess. lol!
At the time I made this video, there were no molds for the 10mm magazine so I had no other choice. I also do not own the actual firearm, so I will never actually use the magazines in a real gun - they are solely intended for use with my holsters. I should have mentioned that in the video, but it didn't cross my mind at the time. It's crazy, but a lot of times you can buy the real magazine for cheaper than the cost of a mold. And some mold makers don't put a dummy round in the magazine when they make the mold, so the magazines are useless from a holster-making standpoint.
8:20 sent me into a flashback
Sorry my brother in leather U forgot 2 show how 2 install the RIVET IN THE POUCH, I know how but some of the people watching don't. GOD'S BLESSINGS BROTHER ✝️⚾🙃
Thanks Jim - that section went pretty fast. I mentioned it in the video, but didn't make it very clear that the post was inserted into the hole in the clip as I slid the clip into the leather. As I slid the clip in, that also pushed the post in. Then I hammered the cap onto the rivet. ruclips.net/video/DhuK87coGVI/видео.html
Hello Adams LeatherWorks, Noah here from Martinez Leathers in Waller, TX (a small town 40 miles west of Houston). I am a subscriber to your channel since 2017. the first video i saw from you was "Making a Pancake Leather Holster with Thumb Break, 1911 Commander." I am also a fellow leathercrafter and i have to say you are an inspiration to me. your videos open my mind to my creativity and i want to say Thank you.
i want to say that I loved the video. it has been one of the best videos on making a mag pouch i have seen so far. the mag pouch came out AWESOME!!!
I also make one just like the one you made. The only thing different is that i use the Tandy Leather Spring Belt/Holster Clip item# Item #1240-24 or the Item #1240-00. it is thinner than the one you used, but it is a great lil clip. I also use this clip on all the holsters i make as well as on my EDC for my Beretta 40 cal.
Well I hope my comment on the thinner clip helped and keep making videos.
Thank you very much! I'll have to check out the clip from Tandy. This one is borderline too wide for smaller mags like .380's so it'll be good to have another option. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video! Great work as always. Finally got my Glock 19 holster done, and a vid up on my channel if you gander over. The fingers wish I had a machine after not stitching by hand for a while. Thanks for sharing!
Your holster come out great! I hear ya' about hand stitching. I did it for a while, but not long enough to toughen up my finger tips - they started going numb and tingling. Can't mess up those computer hands... LOL
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Thanks! Going to work on a full size 1911 holster for my buddy who has one, and says he doesn't carry it because he doesn't have a holster. I am going to try some plastic clips instead of loops. The loops put the belt line a little too low on the holster. Or try some other method of loops on the exterior.
I went to hobby lobby and bought paint knives. They work great for putting glue on detail areas.
Very nice! Thank you!
Thanks Jim!
Room for improvement? Not at all.
Great video as always are you selling the magazine pouches?
Thank you! I don't have this style available on my site, but if someone wanted this style, I'd be happy to make it. If you decide to place an order, select the "Standard" option and leave a note in the comment box when checking out stating you want the clip-on pouch and I'll build accordingly.
Show de bolsa,já dou o like antes de ver o vd.
Obrigado por assistir!
I would have formed before stitching. You can use some clamps and a soft rubber or even foam to avoid making marks on the leather while its wet. Leave some extra leather for the clamps to grab as well. That way you don't stretch the stitches and they look a lot more uniform. Gets rid of the "puffy" look and stretchmarks.
I am considering making a gum holster very similar to the cheap mesh o e I bought online. I like that this holster I bought has an extra mag clip on the top of the gun, but the holster itself doesn't allow for any accessories (like a red dot sight or a under the barrel flashlight. So, of course I want to integrate those into my design. I am considering using a seperate strip of rather to give it 3 dimensions and attaching this strip using a box stitch, it will give the holster the necessary width without worrying about where to place the stitch line, any thoughts about this?
Is there no way to get those sewing machine foot tracks out? That seems like it would be anoying. LOL
Beautiful work brother very very well made.
Thank you for sharing. This is a great tutorial.
It was very well explained and complet
The trick with measuring the leather around the 35 second mark is pure genius. I wish I had thought of that when I was making my latest leatherman pouch. It's a pain trying to get the stitching right after I form the leather. Guess I have a new method with Rev. 3, lol. I have got to remember the rubber cement, I hate how the edges split open on mine.
Is there any benefit to lining it like this? Also, what's the difference in folding it like that vs stitching a front piece to a back piece?
I can't take credit for the measurement technique, but it certainly simplifies the process and takes some of the guesswork out of it. Regarding benefits of lining - I only line with veg tanned leather. Having the smooth grain surface facing inward towards the firearm/gun/knife, etc. does help protect the finish (thought I've never had a customer complain that their un-lined holster was affecting their finish). It also results in a stiffer end product (two layers of 4 ounce leather, when glued together, is generally stiffer than a single layer of 8 ounce leather).
Lining also gives you the opportunity to conceal the stitches on the pocket panel. Had I attached the pocket panel prior to gluing the two body panels together, the stitches would have been better protected and would be less likely to snag and/or abrade over time.
This was the first time I've made a mag pouch like this. If I were to remake it, I'd definitely attach the pocket panel prior to gluing the two layers together. But, I don't usually line my products unless the customer requests it and pays a little extra for the added leather and assembly time.
Regarding folding vs. pancake style - I don't think either way is better than the other. If you've seen my previous video showing making a flat-back holster for the Taurus Judge, that's possibly a more ideal way to make a pouch with a clip since you could keep the clip mounting surface almost perfectly flat. And if you eliminated the 'pinch guard', the pouch could be worn in IWB, between the belt and the pants, or reversed and clipped externally to the belt.
beautiful work
Very beautiful
I rivet the clip before I stitch the piece of leather onto the holster. I don't run a machine though so I can stitch closer to the clip I think.
That's a good idea. And attaching the panel prior to laminating the two body layers together would conceal the stitches and protect them from abrasion while inserting & removing the mag.
here's a tip, use a photocopier to save your original sketch. no point having to do over the whole thing for the next one if you want it saved
additionally, you can scan it and upload here and people who follow you around could actually download it and learn from it
Another great video. These are an excellent advertisement for your products and you are an artist.
Thank you very much John!
Belt loop or clip?
Sorry, not sure what you're asking. The magazine pouch is held on with a spring steel clip.
Adams LeatherWorks sorry for the confusion. But I wanted to find out which type of mag pouch is preferred,
Do you make this setup in a double magazine configuration?
I haven't made that setup yet, but certainly could. If you're interested, reach out to me on my website and we can talk more about what you're wanting.
who is the manufacturer of the clip? It looks like it has a spur .

¡Gracias! Eso es Fiebings Resolene.
Mag pouches should ALWAYS be molded bullets pointing to the rear. Makes reloading a natural movement as the mag will rotate naturally to the gun's grip. Bullets pointing forward require a rotation of the wrist to get them to line up.
Not a universally accepted statement. Mold them how you like, but that’s not a natural setup for everyone.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks It is if you ever plan on using your magpouch under stress. If it's a fashion accessory, mold them however one likes. Do not believe me? Load a forward facing magpouch, drop your free hand and grab the mag. Then try and insert it into the gun in one fluid motion without contorting your wrist. Holsters are not just for carrying a firearm, they also are for easy ACCESS to the firearm.
So you used the leather strip and wrap around magazine. Mark where they touch. I am unclear how you determined your stitch line.?
Sorry, that section may have gone a little too fast. The basic method is to wrap the leather around the gun/mag, mark where it touches, then lay the leather out flat and measure the distance between the two marks on the leather. Let's say, for example, that measurement is 6". Then you divide that by two, and that is your pocket width (3").
In this video, I marked a point in the center of the strap, then aligned that center mark on the center of the mag's side, then marked the contact points. By starting with the center point on the leather, that eliminates the need to divide the measurement in half.
So our measurement is an imaginary 3".
When I began the pattern process, I drew a straight line down the center of the paper. I centered the side of the mag on that line, then rolled it over onto its side and traced around it. Measure 3" away from the center line and that is the stitch line.
Does that make sense? Let me know if you need more help. It may be more clear if you watch a couple of my other recent videos.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks No Sir. That was the explanation I was looking for. Thank you. Can I ask you how you picked the colors? Is that a standard color match up or did you just know those colors would work together like that?
Great video! What size rivet did you end up using? I need to buy some smaller ones since all of the ones I have are too big for attaching the clip.
Thanks Travis - sorry for the late reply. I just used what I had on hand, which I believe has a 1/4” post. I don’t recall if I ground it down, but I typically grind off some of the post if it’s too long.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Awesome! Thanks for the response!
Attempted to make my first magazine watching your video no offense to your video it was nothing you did wrong I cannot calculate for something although I did add an extra quarter of an inch all around the double-stack magazine and I got it's a fit but the seams look like they wanted to bust open so I started my project over I don't know what I'm missing
Mine was pretty tight too, but it worked fine once it was dry. Did you line yours like I did? If it's still really tight when done, insert the magazine in a 1-gallon freezer zip lock bag, wrap it around the mag, then insert it in the pouch to stretch it out a bit. Some people use wax paper instead of the freezer bag, but I've never used that method.
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I have to start over leaning towards putting a welt and redoing the project with the same leather I was using and I am starting over because I got the magazine in there completely but there was a lot of pressure on the stitching which I'm confident will hold but it just makes the magazine holster look unprofessional
@@AdamsLeatherWorks I have to compensate or the thickness of the leather on using because I did glue two pieces together but that's not what I used to measure the circumference of the magazine what was my first mistake and I have to compensate for the double stack mag
