Is it a good one, isn't it? I'd love to get a Winchester Centennial but I'd like to see it in the more common, 45-70 or at least 45colt. Thanks for watching!
Nice work, Richard! And I noticed your copy of "Packing Iron" in the background. I have to admit I'm a little envious - that's a cool book! And cool holster!
I could not believe the price of that book, I'm glad I was able to pick up a used copy on ebay. I plan on trying my hand at some of the examples in that book someday. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview You're welcome! I think I will try a Mexican loop holster for my next big project. I'm finishing up a sling for my lever action rifle now. That's been a learning experience, for sure. Lol.
Hay Richard, just watched the movie and you are right, good flick. It appears to me he uses both guns and holsters equally well. Enjoy watching you work on the authenticity of these movie holsters. Keep ‘em coming.
Glad you liked it. I plan on doing the cross draw he carries the 1872 in, then the belt and maybe the wrist cuffs and chaps too! It may take me a while but hopefully I'll get it done! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
Nice. I watched the open top video first. Both are awesome. I am waiting to see the completed rig when you get the belt done. Something tells me the belt is going to be a little more work than the holsters.
JT: Why you shoot that ol Evens Joe? Joe: Well it's got 28 rounds, and I'm not a very good shot... I'm going to town. Probably my favorite "modern" western.
Trust me, I know! As a holster, I like both of them, as the Crossfire Trail movie holster, the first one wasn't close. The second one is much closer but not perfect. Thanks for watching!
What thread do you use and what needles. Just for comparison I use 0.8mm polyester white, and 2/00 John James needles those are my favorites, also how do you cut fringe? Another great Video thank you. Bottom blood knot= apron tie perhaps?
I like to use 0.8 to 1.2mm threads and I'm not even sure what size the needles are, I picked up a pack of saddlers needles at Tandy a long time ago so, it's whatever those are. Lol. Fringe like on my jacket and shirt I made was all cut with scissors, one strand at a time. Apron Tie sounds perfect, even if that's not what it's called! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
In the future I may make a few custom rigs to sell but I just can't do it right now. I can say that I have had a holster appear on a couple movie sets though!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview was just watching you 'cut On the line' was reminded of the video of Andrews Custom Leather, to do cuts like that, he uses a X-acto knife, blade-up technique, swears he can cut through holster leather in one rather than scoring with blade-down.
I still haven't put a final finish on it yet. I have used everything from Neatsfoot oil and Leather Balm with Atom wax, to Olive oil and Super Sheen. I'm going to apply something to it today I'm just not sure what yet. I'm leaning more towards Leather Balm with Atom wax because I don't want the color to darken lik it would with the heavier oils and the Leather Balm should still condition it. I may even use a combination, oils on the hammer thong and blood knot and Leather Balm on the body of the holster. On the wall behind me, where all the holsters are hanging, several of them have had the same dye used but some are much darker because of the finish used on them. This holster is almost the perfect color right now.
I just got done applying the finish on the holster. I wish I had done it before I folded it and laced it all together but with wool daubers, q-tips, elbow grease and some soft cloths, I was able to get everything covered. The holster did darken slightly but it still looks pretty good.
I've had tons of people ask me that. I don't make or sell holsters or patterns yet and I keep saying maybe in a few years. I may have to shorten that timeline a bit. Let me work some things out and I'll see what I can do. Thanks for watching.
That's the tricky part! I haven't applied any oil yet because I don't want to make the holster any darker than it is. I'm still going to finish it but I think I'll just be using Leather Balm on the body and maybe neatsfoot oil on the thong and blood knot. The holsters on the wall behind me have had their colors changed dramatically because of the finish I've used on them.

Excellent movie and one I watch from time to time when I need a good western. The Tom Selleck TNT movies are great.
I have to agree with you! Thanks for watching!
I love that movie and Tom Selleck’s armament

Crossfire trail is my favorite selleck movie great job.
Thanks!
Great looking holster!
Thank you!
Good job Richard
Thanks Tom!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview you are welcome
Great way to start the New Year Richard
I have been working on this thing all year! Lol. Thanks for watching!
You do such a good job on holsters, Richard! Came out great.
Thank you Santee! This one was a bit of a challenge.

Great job Richard and I need to check that movie out
I really liked it. Thanks for watching Hillbilly!

@@8626John Yes it is, I plan on trying to recreate some of those old holsters when I get time. Enjoy the book!
Nice work
Thank you!
Favorite Mini series The Sackett's.
I have not watched it....yet. Thanks for watching!

I don't think I've seen this movie with Tom Selleck. I'll have to look for it.
Happy New Year Richard!
It's a pretty good movie. Thanks for watching!
There's no substitute for learning from our mistakes.
I tend to teach myself a lot! Thanks for watching!
Hey Richard great job on making your verison of Tom sellecks holster. Great movie and keep up the amazing work. Love the videos
Much appreciated!
Great job!!!! I enjoy your videos very much…..
Thank you! I enjoy making them. Thank you for watching!
I see you have you enjoy the same book I do, “Packing Iron”. I have owed mine for many years. Great Book !!
Ricky from IBM
I keep flipping through it to see what holster I want to try next!
Nice. I watched the open top video first. Both are awesome. I am waiting to see the completed rig when you get the belt done. Something tells me the belt is going to be a little more work than the holsters.
You and me both! Thanks for watching!

Probably my favorite "modern" western.
Lol. I was not Wilford Brimley's biggest fan but I really liked him in Crossfire Trail. Thanks for watching!
Nice lookin' holster. As a fellow RUclipsr I appreciate what you do. I also notice things in the background of the videos.
Thanks Squib! Yes Sir, there are some items lingering in the background that were sent to me by a fellow RUclipsr. Thank you for the gifts!
That is still a good looking holster….. sometimes we are our own worst critics
Trust me, I know! As a holster, I like both of them, as the Crossfire Trail movie holster, the first one wasn't close. The second one is much closer but not perfect. Thanks for watching!
Crossfire Trail is a fantastic movie
And Selleck actually had four guns if you include the Sharps he took with the 1872 open top
I agree and you are correct, I forgot about the Sharps! Thanks for watching!

Do you have any plan for the holster that didnt come out right?
Yes Sir, I think I do!
Have you ever thought about making custom rigs to sell or making them for movie companies? You have a great talent.😉
In the future I may make a few custom rigs to sell but I just can't do it right now. I can say that I have had a holster appear on a couple movie sets though!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview That's great!
So any holsters lately, I need a one off holster for a very unique situation, you ever do commission work ?
I currently do not. I hope to make some to sell someday, just not quite yet. Thanks for watching though!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview was just watching you 'cut On the line' was reminded of the video of Andrews Custom Leather, to do cuts like that, he uses a X-acto knife, blade-up technique, swears he can cut through holster leather in one rather than scoring with blade-down.
I have watched a lot of different techniques for cutting leather and have tried many of them too. I like to stick within my comfort zone.
What leather weight did you use for this?
I think I mentioned it in the video but if I remember correctly, between 7-8 oz.
Great work, Richard. Can you please state the finish you use. I can't understand in the video. Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany.

@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I would like to see how it turned out.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks a lot for your reply, Richard. Have a good time!
@@8626John I'll show it when I do the next holster video, the 3 strap Mexican Loop holster that Rafe used for his 1872 open-top.
Would it be possible to get a copy of the pattern you created?
I've had tons of people ask me that. I don't make or sell holsters or patterns yet and I keep saying maybe in a few years. I may have to shorten that timeline a bit. Let me work some things out and I'll see what I can do. Thanks for watching.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview that would be great! As a Schofield owner, you know there are not a lot of good patterns available for them.
👍👍
Thanks!
No oil? All the water and dye, suckibg all the natural oils out of the leather ... needs a light coat of oil, keep the leather supple.
That's the tricky part! I haven't applied any oil yet because I don't want to make the holster any darker than it is. I'm still going to finish it but I think I'll just be using Leather Balm on the body and maybe neatsfoot oil on the thong and blood knot. The holsters on the wall behind me have had their colors changed dramatically because of the finish I've used on them.
