Making a Magnetic IWB Holster Leather Working ASMR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2023
- In this leathercraft video, I'm circling back on the "magnetic retention" concept again for this Smith & Wesson 3rd generation 3913 leather holster. In general, IWB is not my preferred carry method; but it comes in handy and is sometimes the only option. (pocket or shoulder holster is my favorite.)
The stamps used on this piece:
Hidecrafter PG007
Barry King Barker/Veiner
Craftool 347
My laser is an xTool P2
Below is a link for saving a few bucks purchasing a P2 direct from xTool. I was given this code to pass on to my viewers when I first received the the laser. Hopefully it still works:

So nice to see the old leather craft has not been forgotten.
I'm speechless seeing this beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful flawless work, and retention done the way EVERY holster should be doing it.
Much appreciated!
What talent! This is really remarkable to watch! The craftsmanship that goes into making this item is incredible, nice job!
I can't imagine anyone not liking your videos! Great looking holster!
Love how you did the magnetic retention.
That is so unimaginably slick!
I have to hand sew and and cut everything and make my own patterns but you give me ideas that I can implement. LOVE watching you work. As clean as I’ve ever seen. Thanks for posting!
Thank YOU for watching!
I believe that might be one of the most beautiful holster I’ve seen. You are a true Craftsman. Thanks for the video.
Wow, thanks! Thanks for watching!
I hadn’t seen that before, that is pretty neat laser designing and cutting…wow, what a time saver.
Thanks 👍
Another great build also great tunes.
Glad you like them!
Outstanding work. I have started using magnets on my knife sheaths. I got the idea from watching your videos. Thank you
That's awesome! Thanks!
Talent on loan from God!!!!! I could watch you all day. Beautiful work.
Wow, thank you!
I watch these videos when I'm relaxing and by far my favorite parts are spraying down the leather with water, the saddle soap, the dyeing, burnishing, and the like
Glad you like them!
That is such a cool holster man! The magnet is such a cool method of retention
The CNc pattern cutting is sweet
The quality of your video and your craftsmanship are amazing
! . Your approach to the magnetic retention is really slick. Cheers!!!
Very nice sheath 👌🏻
I love your videos
Thanks!
Seeing the whole process starting at the raw idea and taking the materials and tools and creating a functional piece of equipment is fascinating . Keep it up . Love what you do and have a huge amount of respect for the time and effort that you have put in to developing your amazing skill/artistry .
Thanks!
Another great holster, I’ve only been leather working for about three months but your videos are very helpful
Great to hear!
I learn something each time I watch. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Man that thing is absolutely slick!!!! Such an awesome video 😊
Dude the magnet idea was next level awesome....great work
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I remember watching one of your earlier videos when you showed how to sew a toe plug, it adds so much more to a holster. Beautiful job on this holster and the magnetic retention in the toe plug is something I might try. I want to make a chest rig and this would eliminate a retention strap. Thanks for sharing👍.
Awesome! Thank you!
I know nothing about leatherworking oh, but I do know that your channel gets more and more enjoyable with every video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing piece of art
Thanks!
What a great ideal to keep a pistol firm in a holster! As always, absolutely a great video! Keep them coming! 👍
Thanks! And will do!
Absolutely love your videos!
Thanks again for watching!
Again, love to watch your work.
Unique and different. Great job.
Thanks a lot!
Really great looking holster ,,,,Thanks for sharing
Superbly done 👍🏻
thats beautiful stitching
Cutting a frame in basswood is so clever! I really like that.
The holster is cool, I liked the magnet approach first time I saw it with the 1911 holster.
Oh, also: obligatory words about lasers and real leaterwork and something about "must be nice".
You rock.
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful workmanship!
Thank you very much!
I've been subscribed for awhile now and I always watch your videos. I always enjoy watching your videos. Your really good at your craft.
Awesome! Thank you!
As always, a work of ART! Almost too nice to hide IWB. I really like the use of the rare earth magnets. I sure like watching you work ! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks again!
India is no one wapan shop..I like it..🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well I love the tune
Great looking holster!
Thanks!
I'm a bladesmith so I don't make holsters and really the only leatherwork I do is sheaths but your work always inspires me to do better keep up the good work
Thanks!
Not many people still use S&W 3rd Gen guns. I do, and I collect them too. Not a fan of tactical Tupperware guns. Like all steel or aluminum alloy and steel. I am also a big fan of leather holster and other leather items. I like leather holsters with thumb breaks. It provides a level of security during a hands of event or someone from behind attempting take your gun.
I enjoy your channel very much !!!

Thanks for subscribing! I'm of the same mindset. Real-steel is my preferred. Though I own my share of plastic guns.
@@RoadAgentLeather I too own many plastic guns, but down really care or them. But I would rather loose a plastic gun than a steel gun if I god forbid have to defend myself. I believe over time these plastic firearms will degrade. All the plastic and rubber over time seem to degrade. Guns made of metal have proven to last 100s of years.
another great video, i watch all your videos over and over, keep them coming
I appreciate that!
Thank you for the video, awesome trick
Thanks for watching!
Your videos are awesome sir. ❤
Increíble trabajo 👏👏👏👏
It’s so cool to see how far your work has come! I remember a few years ago you would make your own patterns with paper and foam. Keep on trucking!
Thank you so much!
Anytime!! Thanks for always being a great source of information and inspiration
Now That! Is some Quality Workmanship! Very Nice.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Your videos are awesome. Can't wait for your next project. You do fantastic work thanks again.
Thank you very much!
Love your videos man
Thanks for watching!
Great work
Thanks for subscribing!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
A classy pistol deserves a classy holster.
I love S&W 3rd generation guns. The best they ever made, IMHO.
@@RoadAgentLeather I agree!
Muy bueno el trabajo👍👍👍
Good make I like your wark
Beautiful
Thanks for watching!
I'm subscribed! I want these leather holsters so bad lol
Thanks for subscribing!
Nice job
Thanks!
Magnifique ❤
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
BRILLIANT!! 👍👏😁
Thanks for subscribing!
Великолепная работа! Мастер!
Just WOW!!
It's interesting how tooling leather is similar to steam bending wood. There's a stagecoach wheelwright I watch, and he showed how he has to keep the staves compressed from the ends when bending wagon bows.
I may have watched the same fellow.
awesome! it should be for open carry - hiding this beauty no good
I wasn't sure what to expect from that magnetic part, but holy, was that ever cool! Great work, man. I love the sheath with the weaved stitching, as well! Your work is very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Real good
well done, got to love a good S&W holster.
Thanks!
สวยจัดๆ งานฝีมือระดับพรีเมี่ยม
Your videos are very helpful. I work with leather occasionally and have been able to get some good tips from watching. Keep up the good work.
That's great to hear! It's why I keep cranking out the videos.
I like watching talented people at work . But I never thought of , gun Holsters/ belts ect was so relaxing - but time consuming?. ( Handmade ). Thanks.
And you're only seeing the highlights. I have to edit a lot out for time. Thanks for watching!
انا بانتظار 🎉🎉🎉
Incredible work as always. You're true master 👍👍
Thank you very much!
I really like all your videos the workmanship is second to none. I would like to see the design process for your holsters.
I made this video. I was trying to replicate a full holster & belt rig from a picture in a book: ruclips.net/video/0COb_H3K6gA/видео.html
This guys gonna get big quick
Thanks for watching! I'm crossing my fingers!
عمل متقن 1000 %
16:40 ever thought of installing a laser pointer to your drill press? Would be highly accurate.
Yes the jungle soundtrack is back
Were you the one who asked about it? I brought it back by request.
@@RoadAgentLeather I don't think so, but it is classic Road Agent tunes 👌
Your tool chest is gorgeous. You’re very talented.
Thank you very much!
Very Beautifull i like this Pistol Covered❤❤❤
thanks for watching!
you sir have magic hands. this is absolutely beautiful. I strive to achieve that level of work one day
Thank you very much!
I have a Guncrafters X2 double stack 1911 (2011) on order. I’d love to get a magnetic retention OWB holster for it and a IWB sheath for a Fairbairn Sykes that was made for me by master bladesmith Jared Williams. So…. How do I get one / place an order?
Your products are very nice, I want the same one, what is the price?
Do you have a holster for a Beretta 90TWO and for a Beretta 21A bobcat. Please advise
Great work again!
Why the change of stitching iron's?
And it's good to hear the right music back!!
I still used my craftool chisels. However, these actually remove material by punching a hole (instead of cutting a row of tiny slits). I've found it's a little easier when working with thick welts like this holster has.
Very nice work as always.
I do have a 3 part kinda question about the saddle soap casing... how long do let it sit in the bag? How long do you let it dry after removing it?
& do you do anything to it before tooling, stamping, ect...?
Thanks! It's just like regular casing. I let it sit in the bag for a few hours, then take it out. When the leather starts to turn back to it's original color start the tooling.
I haven't tried saddel soap yet, but I truly love casing my leather over night. It turns out so much prettier and better burnish when tooling. Thx again!
I really enjoy your videos! Please keep them coming! Do you sell holsters?
Thanks for watching! I occasionally sell on my Etsy page. But there's nothing for sell there at the moment.
Brilliant. IMHO you own this space on the web. Where did you source that exact belt clip from? I need an OTW and hope the supplier makes them as well. My belt clip showed up last night..I don’t think it will work for my rig 🤦♂️
Buddy, my Gawd, that toe plug installation is a thing of beauty in itself. So flippin hard to do and look good.
Thanks for watching! That particular clip came from Tandy Leather.
Great work as usual. I just got a laser and am practicing with it now. What program do you use to create the patterns for the holster for the cut files and do you use lightburn? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! Adobe Illustrator for creating the designs and making .stl files. It's a paid subscription (I'm a professional graphic designer so already had it). Inkscape is a free web-based option that seems good. I used Lightburn when I had my Creality machines. However, Xtool has their Creative Space app and I've been using that since I got their P2 laser. I don't think it has as many features as Lighburn, but it's free and obviously interfaces with their machines well.
@@RoadAgentLeather Excellent. Thanks for the info and the quick reply.
I still think you should make your holsters in the shape of the gun. Better fitting.
Sir, can you please upload a video of making a leather holster for a Glock 19 pistol?
I can only assume the laser saves time but do you have any cons? I.e. harder to stitch or dye?
For me it's less about time-save and more about precision and repeatability. The stacks of leather I had to cut to create both the welt and the toe plug that held the magnets would be near impossible to do otherwise (for me anyway). No effect on stitching and dyeing. In fact, you can actually laser cut stitch holes . . . . something I'll be showing in an upcoming video. The cons: There's the scorched edge and the soot to deal with. There's also the issue that you may generally waste more leather than hand-cutting or using a clicker press: You have to fit the leather into the machine somehow; which necessitates sectioning off your hide into smaller pieces. I've found this results in more unused material getting thrown into the scrap bin.
Traumhafte arbeiten. Schade das es so etwas nicht in Deutschland gibt😢
Thanks for watching!

Are these for sale and where are you located in Texas. Love the work.
Thanks! Unfortunately I'm not able to take custom orders at the moment.

Does using the Lazer cutter change the way the leather takes tooling or dye?
Not that I've noticed?
Fantastic work as always! Question though, why wet the leather before you add the eco-weld glue?
Makes the leather more pliable and I think it helps the glue penetrate a little deeper.
Is the reason you wet it with saddle soap because it gets it ready for tooling and gets rid of the soot from the laser cutter in one step?
It's an old trick I learned. The saddle soap helps lubricate the leather fibers: This makes carving with a swivel knife easier (if you're using one) and helps make the leather more pliable, which results in better stamp impressions. It also slows down the drying a bit. But it's something definitely not everyone does.
Been watching your videos for awhile now, do you do customer holsters ?
Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm unable to take custom orders at the moment.
@@RoadAgentLeather o man that sucks. Hopefully sometime in the future.
I just purchased this Kimber Eclipse Pro and IWB leather holster would be perfect for it. Is it possible to do a black leather IWB? if so how much and how can we talk about it.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I'm unable to take on custom projects at the moment.
