Back when I was going to Mexico years ago I had the pleasure of meeting an old man that did leather work. He showed me how to do it the old way with horse hair stitching and hand inlay, he did very beautiful work, he has probably been long since passed away. I'm glad people like you are keeping leather work alive, you do beautiful work as well.
Yes my father used to take me with him to Mexico in the late 70s he would go down there to a leather shoe man that would make my father custom leather candles waraches laced. He would buy a dozen of them of all sizes. For my brother and sister's or who ever wanted to buy them here in California. You just can find that style of old leather work anymore the old man past on and maybe his sons and daughters took over the business? I haven't been there in years. The leather sandles I see they look like them but don't have the tire rubber and made in China sold in Mexico.
I can only imagine how amazing it would be to have a dad who gifted me a Colt .45 SAA, and how great for your dad to have a son willing and able to reciprocate with such a beautiful rig. No wonder you smile all the time. Thank you sir!
This video has really struck home in my heart. My grandfather past away several years ago and this video has caused me to track down his original 1873 Colt Peacemaker to purchase from who he willed it to. I’m now offering to purchase it from them in hopes of making a similar belt rig for the pistol. Can’t thank you enough for this video. Thank you! I’m also a leather crafter and so desperately want to make a similar rig for my grandfather’s pistol. I loved my grandpa, and it would mean the world to me to be able to give one of his treasures a proper home in the family.
Dude, thank you so much for making this. I intend to make my son a holster as a gift for when he retires from the army. I'm still kind of a noob when it comes to leathercraft, still in my wallet and journal cover phase, but I have lofty goals. This video was straight to the point and answered so many questions. I know exactly what to do now.
Dude, not sure why your video came up on my feed, but this was fantastic to watch. such craftsmanship... makes me wish pistols were legal in my country so I could have one of these awesome belts and holster. Great work!
if you do a google search for UK legal Long Barrelled Revolver, you'll see what we have been reduced to over here and why this work of art would not be suitable for what we can own :( Even realistic imitation firearms (RIFs) are highly controlled, unless we like them made of plastic and brightly coloured... I envy the freedom of the US :)
Looks great. I make my own personal holsters. Drooling over some of your equipment. I saddle stitch by hand, takes time. I was happy to see many of my methods were the same as yours even though I haven't done it to much
This is SO awesome! I'm a gunsmith and have no idea how leather work is done so beautifully. After watching this video I've learned, it takes more skill than I have to work leather. Great video!
mate you could do it. i am working on getting myself to where i can get started gunsmithing from scratch. already done a few minor repairs but will be building my own lathe soon. self taught blacksmith, saddler and carpentry at high school I managed to teach my wood work teacher almost as much as he taught me. Quite a feat considering the quality of the work he could do. I also worked with a saddler for a few weeks who produced high quality work when i was in my early 20's and he said my skills were to far advanced for him to be able to teach me anything new however I was able to learn a few shortcuts. it would have taken him 6 months or more to teach me anything new and that would have been highly advanced stuff such as making saddles and collars for cart horses. If i can get myself to that level teaching myself most people can if they dedicate themselves :)
Great video! I had the Tandy leather holster book back in 1988 when I was stationed in Korea. I made the exact same holster! I still have it too. Mine did not look as good as yours does; I only spent 5 hours making mine in the hobby shop the Army provided for us. It was my very first experience with leather works. I have made a ton of things since then. Great memories - thanks for the video.
Hey, little brother! I bought that pattern about 30 years ago and since then have gone on my own and made my own patterns. I really enjoyed watching you work. You have a lot of talent!! Blessings from North Carolina
I've been making things out of leather since I was a kid. Never commercial. Just for my own use. I went crazy when I saw your burnishing machine. I never could get a really good edge on my stuff. Subscribed I think I'll start leathercraft again. I'm 74 You are a true craftsman.
I grew up on a ranch with my grandpa's teaching me how to do leather work. I've made many things with a pocket knife and hand awl to stitch. Never had the nice tools but would love to get some and increase my skill. Great job.
Beautiful! My 15 yr old has a gun like this for civil war reenactment. We've been dabbling in leather projects. What a fun one to try. Thanks so much for the video! You do amazing work and fantastic videos.
I'm impressed with your talent as a leather worker, but also with your talent in creating a fascinating video with artistic depth of field, and entirely entertaining! You took me back years ago when I used to make belts and wallets. To be honest, I didn't know Tandy was still in business. Glad to see you're keeping the craft alive and well.
There's just something about watching things get created that produces a calming effect. Must be double for the person doing the creating. Well done sir.
I haven't played with leather for a long time, but your video had got me thinking of projects. You are a craftsmen doing good work with your brain, skill, and modern tools. Thank you!
I've been looking at a lot of leatherwork videos lately and I'm particularily impressed by your skills and balls to use a sewing machine. Someone not very proficient with a sewing machine could easily mess up a whole piece of good leather but you did not !
I work with leather myself (prosthetics and orthotics. You’d be surprised). Your craft and skill are astounding. As someone who does the same and knows that leather working is no laughing matter, it’s interesting to see a master of the craft at work. Also, your choice in QuickDraw holster design is intriguing... I suppose it’s just me- I’ve always preferred my pistol belts to rest at my right leg and to hold the entire pistol in place, but I’m also not a gunslinger so... yeah. All the same- fantastic work. A good watch.
Wow! I'm glad I found this video. Great craftmanship, and watching you enjoying what you're doing made it that much more enjoyable to watch. I'm getting back into SAS after being out of it for quite a while and need some new gear to go around the new girth. Loved watching the expertise it takes to make this gear. Your Dad must have been excited when you gave it to him.
Love your work and I used to be a leather worker to would buy plastic pistols at stores and yard sales that were real size, also had wood blanks to have for patterns. Couple of years ago developed PsArthritis and can not use my hands like I want any more. Enjoy while you can, you have a talent for it.
This is like ASMR for leatherworkers lol. Loved the video showing the process. I'm interested in making my own gunbelt but I lack a few of the tools. I wish I had such a beautiful workstation like yours! I envy you! Superb craftsmanship!
When I first considered making myself a holster I thought “hmm, maybe I could do this myself!” Then when I watched the tools and craftsmanship ability it would take to make something like this I knew it had to be left to the masters. Beautifully done!!
I'd say go for it anyway... If the end result looks like kindergarten craft fair, who gives a shit! It will still give you pride. It can be done with fewer tools, and hand stitching too.
@@Cheaps928 If you already have a few tools it would be cheaper to make one. If you would have to buy the tools that adds up pretty quick... BUT, you would be able to get into leather work, which can be fun.
@@vincent-wu7bw true i do have lots of tools actually i'd mainly need the stuff for the belt, ive never created stuff but im getting into it just buy watching others and my dad would love to do this too since he already builds stuff from wood
I like to see this kind of attention to detail and old world craftsmanship. Watching this was pure awesome , and that quick draw rig will last for a long time.
Great Great Video.....I'm 63 years old and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, etc were my Heros when I was a very young child. I always admired their rigs and watching you work that leather into a rig for your Dad was amazing. Great work and Thank You for sharing with us.
I like the way you made the ammo loops, much simpler than a lot of maticulous measuring and stitching for each loop. Do you think it would be an issue using that method for loops around a longer section of the belt? I haven't made one yet, but when I do I'll use that method. I even have the same pistol, but in .357
Thank you! No I don't think it would be an issue. As long as you wet mold the loops they'll stay in place. Especially if you cover the backside with cement and a liner it won't budge:)
Thank you for this! I've been planning on making a quick draw holster belt for my dad's 22 pistol revolver for his birthday in a month. Gonna get started asap. New subscriber headed your way!
This is the first video I've seen on your channel and I am very impressed with this belt. God has given you a very special talent and you should be very proud of it.
You are awesome man! A job well done!! I am a master carpenter an I do nothing but high end woodwork and I appreciate someone like you that has the skills and takes the time to turn out a high end top notch product. The holster I just watched you make was absolutely beautiful! I would love to have you make one for me. If that is possible please let me know. Again job well done!!!! Jeff
Bad Ass Classic Colt 45! And you really gave it reverence by making an equally Bad Ass Holster and Belt. Your leather work has a Classic Americana feel...with very clean functional classic designs with such pristine attention to detail! Such top-notch American leather goods with Atelier quality without seeming pretentious! I love your work and have learned so much watching your video tutorials!
nice job ! i'm a ex military gunsmith and i work with a saddler, and i can see his work for the army !! i have a stupide question : you made 2 holster or you turn the pictures vidéo....because in 0'46 you have a right holster....7'48 right........9'55 left.......10'21 left......10'38 left......12'10 left.........12'40 left.......13'46 right....?? (sorry for my bad english, google and me are not perfect...LOOOL )
I note that you must have had an incredible teacher. One thing my grandfather instilled into me when he was teaching me to use hand tools was to intentionally be ambidextrous in tool use. If more craftsmen did this the amount of injuries from repetitive motion~ like hammering would half or better, and you don't lose the ability to work if you hurt a finger on your "good hand." This fellow (first video watch) seems to use whichever hand the tool is in. Good job! An impressive yet usually overlooked skill.
Idk your name but. THANK YOU! Even tho this didn’t show me every step to making a leather holster for my colt. But it inspired me so much that I just got a whole bunch of leather crafting tools to make things for a hobby, thank you so much 😀
I think this person is Cool....check their web site/shop no avail for any thing like holster Im guessing they are not for holster business for official friends only.
That is a workshop of my dreams. You are very lucky you are able to do all of this. I miss leather working, and wish I had more time to be able to get back into it. Keep up the great work and thanks for the inspiration!
This was one of the best videos I’ve even seen. He’s and artist no doubt. And the video editing was great. Kept me watching through the whole thing and I wasn’t looking for holster making vids. Great job. Thank you.
Paul Markey I wish I lived in Texas! Where I’m from guns are kinda difficult to get your hands on which sucks. I want fucking full auto weapons not some crappy semi auto!
I've been doing leather work in my custom saddle shop for over 30 years and I don't have most of those neat little tools. Really don't need them. You'd be amazed what you can do with a good knife.
Mate take pride in doing it by hand. The parts that wear like the buckle and tounge where they are sewn to the belt will stay attached to the belt far longer because they are hand stitched. I am an ex Jillaroo from Australia and no way in hell would I ever use stirrup leathers that were machine stitched. machine stitching ends up cutting itself
will also add use an awl and 2 needles, not a speedy stitcher. Speedy stitcher the way it is done has the same problem as machine stitching. with hand stitching with 2 needles the threads run side by side but machine or speedy stitcher the threads interlock and go back the other way creating a heavy wear point. This is fine for the main body of the belt but not the holster which if tight enough should be putting a little pressure on the stitches or the stitching for the buckle strap or tongue strap especially where they join the main body of the belt
@@hembrasalvaje I have a set of those chisel like slanted punches that make the angled slits in the leather for the stitching to go into and yes, I use the double needles one on the right and one on the left going back and forth through the same holes.
Great job by a true American craftsman! I wish things were still made with pride and skill like the old days. You just don’t see this to often, it’s a shame . Great video and beautiful holsters
When I was a kid my uncle made leather dog collars for a living and nylon collars. My job was burning all the loose threads lol. Still miss doing to that 22 years later.
Look I understand he is not aiming it at someone or that it is probably not even loaded but seeing his finger on the trigger the cocking it made me cringe 0:11
Dean Puckett Thanks Dean, not the music but the Elijah dude did trigger me with his lame “mute the video” comment. Normally I’m not so poo poo head about stuff but I do know how to mute Lol dang good video though.

Just purchased my very first single action. And that is a beautiful work of art. Nice work!
Who thinks guns should be legal everywhere or at least an option? Hit the like button to agree!
Paul Markey I wish I lived in Texas! Where I’m from guns are kinda difficult to get your hands on which sucks. I want fucking full auto weapons not some crappy semi auto!
@@nicholasprince64 yeah of course there is no danger in carrying around fucking automatic guns
Great job and really interesting. You display a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Mad skills.👍 I’m jelly.
Lovely work on the left handed holster that turned into right handed in the end. 👍
Nice work amigo
Wow! That was awesome. Love to see that level of craftsmanship. You truly are a master of your craft.
There really are some stupid people out there who dislike great videos like this one...
haha thanks so much Matt

I've been doing leather work in my custom saddle shop for over 30 years and I don't have most of those neat little tools. Really don't need them. You'd be amazed what you can do with a good knife.
It takes me 20 times longer as I don't have a leather sewing machine and have to do each hole and stitch by hand!
Mate take pride in doing it by hand. The parts that wear like the buckle and tounge where they are sewn to the belt will stay attached to the belt far longer because they are hand stitched. I am an ex Jillaroo from Australia and no way in hell would I ever use stirrup leathers that were machine stitched. machine stitching ends up cutting itself
will also add use an awl and 2 needles, not a speedy stitcher. Speedy stitcher the way it is done has the same problem as machine stitching. with hand stitching with 2 needles the threads run side by side but machine or speedy stitcher the threads interlock and go back the other way creating a heavy wear point. This is fine for the main body of the belt but not the holster which if tight enough should be putting a little pressure on the stitches or the stitching for the buckle strap or tongue strap especially where they join the main body of the belt
@@hembrasalvaje I have a set of those chisel like slanted punches that make the angled slits in the leather for the stitching to go into and yes, I use the double needles one on the right and one on the left going back and forth through the same holes.
@@archangel20031 :) then you are doing it the strongest way possible. take heart from that my friend :)

Great job by a true American craftsman! I wish things were still made with pride and skill like the old days. You just don’t see this to often, it’s a shame . Great video and beautiful holsters

I like the sound of industry...the working with tools on the leather. Best "song" for your vid. Wonderful gun belt!
other RUclipsrs "this tool is made specifically for this purpose" This guy "Mf everything is a tool if you use your brain"
When I was a kid my uncle made leather dog collars for a living and nylon collars. My job was burning all the loose threads lol. Still miss doing to that 22 years later.
Look I understand he is not aiming it at someone or that it is probably not even loaded but seeing his finger on the trigger the cocking it made me cringe 0:11
Amazing craftsmanship, I'm just getting into leather tooling and enjoyed your video. I learned a lot. Thank you
I’m the beginning he didn’t take his finger off the trigger
What I would love to see is how to make one of those spring clip "Lightning" shoulder holsters including where to get or how to make the spring clip.
wow..all i can say...
Thank you!
watching this makes me want to get into leather work.... very satisfying to watch
Great video !
(I did not care for the music)
then mute the video
Elijah
I already watched the video ... idiot
My comment was just that I did not care for the music
You dumb ass
sixty2jeff apparently the music angered you. I hope you feel better soon. 😂
Dean Puckett
Thanks Dean, not the music but the Elijah dude did trigger me with his lame “mute the video” comment.
Normally I’m not so poo poo head about stuff but I do know how to mute
Lol dang good video though.
sixty2jeff I know. But it’s the internet. I just roll with it. It’s all cool
awesome vid, its cool that you made that for your pops, and you both love the same stuff.
I have seen a few leatherwork videos on RUclips but you are a real craftsman. Fantastic work dude. Great video
