Right hand mexican loop holster in the Montana Style. It's extremely sturdy, made from 10-12 oz Wickett and Craig tooling leather and lined with 3-4 oz. Dyed a medium brown and oiled with pure neatsfoot oil. I used a combination of hand (saddle stitching) and machine stitching.
As a craftsman/artisan in my 70s, I very much appreciated your master craftsmanship and I Thank You Kindly! I’m cabinetmaker by trade and restorer of period furniture. It is a pleasure to see your tools and the skill in which you use them. I use some leather tools that my Great Great Grandfather used as a shoemaker. I have his ledgers from 1845-1870s. A fine pair of boots was $5.00. A pair of shoes $1.00-$1.25. He took on an apprentice in 1847 for 3 years with 4 weeks off for harvest season @ $25.00 a year. I do much hand work with hand tools and as you know it is work that comes from and with spirit. Kind Thanks again and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thank you for your kind words.
Very impressive craftsmanship. A small request- it would help viewers when you use various materials to aim the label of the container towards the camera so we would have a better idea of what to use and when to use it. Thanks.

Verhy Pretty stuff. Good Work.
What was the purpose of the wide skirt?
Beautiful work. At what distance from the edge do you usually stitch?
Where do you get the pattern or do you make them yourself
How are you able to punch your stitch holes so cleanly and easily? When I do it, I have to hit the punch 4-5 times then damn near stand on the leather to get the thing out. Then when I'm stitching I have to use an awl to help me open the hole. Are you using some kind of lubricant?
Hey there. I don’t ever try to punch all the way through when I’m working on really thick leather. If I use the stitching irons I just go about one third to one half way through the top layer of leather. This is deep enough to set my awl in the correct position to push through the rest of the way. The awl must be properly sharpened and highly polished and I stick it into beeswax every two or three holes. If the leather is really thick like in the area of the welt (about 30 ounces). I use a fine round awl blade in my drill press to ensure the holes are straight then use my regular awl as I’m sewing.
I like the belt stay you added to the skirt in back. One question please. How long do you leave the wet leather in the plastic bag? I've tried this a few times with no positive results. Thanks from the Texas Hill Country.
A few hours or overnight depending on my schedule. Never longer than overnight as it can start to get mouldy. I really only do it on heavy leather, more than 10oz as it makes it so much easier to work with.
