- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Trying to catch up on leatherwork!! I'm WAY behind!! Here is a handmade, basket stamped, leather pancake style holster. Made from chestnut colored saddle skirting leather, tanned in the USA.
As you will see, having the gun to fit the holster, is very important!!
I hope you will enjoy seeing what go's into making one of these. If you are wanting to make your own, I hope this will help out. ENJOY and THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Good Morning my friend pray all is well always so happy to see your videos always good time what a craftsman you are you have blessed day and all your family too 😁😁😁
Good morning Mary! Thank you very much. All is good on our end, I hope so on your end as well. It's a little cloudy today, but so far it's not snowing! It snowed off and on the last few days though........time for Spring!
Spring is coming thank the Good Lord my Grandpa always said cold whether made his bones hurt I believe him now 😁😁😁😁😁
I like looking at this miracle how a great thing coming out of nothing. Unbelievable, it takes hundreds of hand movements to make this painstaking work.
Great job, Gary, thank you for sharing it!
Thank you very much!! It is a little time consuming.
Another Dandy..Never tire of watching you build a holster..
Thank you very much!!
Good vid, Lots a work goes into those holsters
Thank you Dave! It takes time for sure.
You got some skills bud!! Awesome work!
Thank you!
The Lord sure blessed you with a talent, looking forward on your next project.
Thank you very much Ed.
Thank you for sharing this fascinating process! recently I returned to work with leather, after years without doing any project, videos like yours have helped to re-learn some techniques. Greetings from Brazil.
Wow! Brazil!! It's fun and amazing to find out folks are watching so far away. I enjoy doing leather work, but I'm so far behind on it that it really takes the fun out of it.
LOL I love how you leave a hole in the bottom so you can have a clear shot at your foot. To see you produce something like that makes me want to have a go myself.
HA! Who needs 10 toes anyway?? You should give it a try. It's really not all that hard to do.
@@MuskratOutdoors LOL Do you mean I should have a go at the leatherwork or shooting myself in the foot.!!!!!!? Im thinking the leather work would be a lot harder than shooting yourself in the foot but the end result would be more satisfying.
Loved leather work in my youth! But started working and hurt my right hand pretty bad,so now I’m pretty much a left with a flipper!LOL sure enjoy watching you do what you do! 👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Things do change! I have trouble with my eyes now too. Far away, I see good, but not so much up close.
It's always a pleasure to watch you work leather. That is my favorite style of holster for smaller single actions like the ruger single six. I've made several of them but not as nice as that one.
Thank you! I like the way this style holster fits flat against your body. I kind of like a separate belt for my guns though. I do have a 1911 Colt style pistol, but I prefer revolvers.
In my childhood, a leather workers was called a saddle maker. You gift shows.
Thank you! I do make a few saddles too.
I really enjoyed that my Friend! Always like watching your leather work. Great looking holster!
Best wishes to you and Cindy!
Thanks, you too! I hope everything is going well for you and your family also.
WOW!! That was amazing!! You are a true craftsman my friend!! Great video that holster is beautiful!!
Thank you very much Mark!
You do beautiful work
Thank you!!! I enjoy doing it mostly. I saw you have a new video, I'm slow, and haven't watched it yet. I'll do that now!
I've got a bunch of knife scabbard, a muzzleloader buckskin case and a pancake for my 1911 made by you. All highest quality and a great value. I need a matching 2 mag pancake for that 1911.
Thanks!!!!!
If ya let me catch up a little, I'll make you one!
@@MuskratOutdoors I'll take you up on that!
@@mojomike3913 Sounds great.
@@MuskratOutdoors when would be a good time?
Very very nice!!! 👍😊👍
Thank you very much.
@@MuskratOutdoors 😊👍
That's a dandy tutorial! I'm just getting into leatherwork and that helps a bunch. You make it look so easy - but I'm sure you've had lots of practice. Thanks for sharin!
Thank you Bob. I have had a lot of practice. I started leatherwork off and on since the 1970's when my Folks bought me a Tandy Leather kit for Christmas. I didn't get into it too much though until about 1988. Since then, I've made hundreds of holsters, and about 30 saddles. I enjoy it, but being this far behind, and having folks mad at me for not getting things done, sure takes the fun out of it. Any time you take a fun hobby and turn it into a job, it takes the fun out of it. Keep it fun!!!
@@MuskratOutdoors maybe I better wait on that letter!! lol!!!
Hi there Thank You that was pretty darn neat and it looked like You made a real nice Holster Excellent Job I enjoyed the music too GOD Bless You
Thanks Josh. I'm glad you liked it. Music is hard to pick. Not everyone likes what I like......bluegrass.
I could watch this all day--love it! Just wish I could build 'em that fast. ;) Hope y'all are well up there in God's Country, Gary!
Ha! Me too! Real time was about 3 hours or so. Things are good here, just waiting for the snow to melt so I can start doing things again on the Fairgrounds. Usually, I'm brushing hay fields by the 12th, but there's still a foot of snow this year!
The horse & mule sale is coming fast. Lots to do!
@@MuskratOutdoors Hope y'all have a big turnout for the sale. We had a touch of that "global warming" down here this year, too. PRCA rodeo still a go for this summer?
The Master at work. Beautiful job.
Thank you very much!
Nice work!
Thank you Guy!
Love it. Great job. Pure artistry!
Thank you very much!
Awesome, you got talent. I've been making holsters for a few years now, I'm not as good as you but I have made a few bucks selling some. A couple of repeat customers too, so I must be doing something right. I did my first with a thumb break not to long ago, that was a little complicated to get it right.
Great! Keep it up! It's kind of a dyeing art. Thumb breaks are a little tough. If you don't get it just right, it won't line up, or it will come open on it's own. They aren't my favorites either!
Muskrat Outdoors Yeah it took me three evenings sitting at my coffee table trying to line up strips of paper on the pattern I made to get it right. I have to keep that pattern in a safe place in case I need it again. I'd post a picture on here if I knew how but technology is not my friend.
Man Thats one good looking Holster.
Thank you very much!!
I like that a lot
Thank you!
I'll take 2,awesome work💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯

Beautiful leather work, just subscribed
Thanks and welcome! I have other leatherwork videos if you care to look.
Very nice!
Thank you!
You do some pretty work
Thank you very much Steve.
Pure Leather Art!
Thank you very much Roland!!
@@MuskratOutdoors yes sir...
Wow that sure is nice
Thank you Wayne!
Going to need a scabbard for a Henry 410 , 19.75" lever action , Hope to buy it from you , sweet work... Talksoon
We can do that! Did you buy it? The picture you sent yesterday didn't come though on my phone. You'll need a scabbord for that Japanese quarter horse you ride!
@@MuskratOutdoors LOL.. she is a good horse, Never left me walking,, yet,, Talksoon
Muskrat... AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
I love how you make holsters to fit the gun you want. My friend made me 2 holsters for my .45 Colt single six shooter and I love them:-)
I hope you are making money on those commercials...lol.. I had to mute 10 of them in this video...lol...
Stay safe brother and hope all is going well in your neck of the woods....MTJOA
Thank you! 10? Holy cow! I don't have any control over what they add as commercials, but that many will add up to a few bucks if folks don't give up watching it. Everyone thinks we put them in there, but we don't. You tube does that. Years ago, I tried making holsters mail order.....that didn't work! Unless I have the gun to fit it, I really can't do it. I found out fast that there are a lot of guns I have never heard of!! If it's one I have, or can borrow, I can do it. This one belongs to one of our retired Sheriff's. He's a good friend I've known about 30 years now.
@@MuskratOutdoors ... I know you do not have any control over the amount of commercials...lol.
I was giving you a fun bad time over it. I just pushed the mute button and let the commercial play so you get paid...lol.
Too bad you cannot go to the gun store and borrow a few or make them there then put them on e-bay. You will make a KILLING with how well you make them. I only have about 230 boom toys :-) My house would not be big enough for all of the holsters...lol...
Thanks for sharing the video, If I get down to your neck of the woods I want to stop in and have you make me a custom holster for me:-)
Stay safe brother and keep these awesome videos going....MTJOA
@@MuskratOutdoors .... I forgot to mention there were 3 commercials in the first less than 4 minutes. :-)
@@montanajohnsoutdooradventu4455 OH!! Thanks!! Yeah, if folks don't skip them it pays a few more pennies! They are annoying though. You bet! If you make it down this way, be sure to look me up!
@@montanajohnsoutdooradventu4455 Wow....that's quite a few...that will drive people away most likely.
That's reminds me. I need to send you a letter!!!
I've got your email saved!
I would like to have you make me one for my hand broom, but I guess first is should get the hand broom! 🔫 ya know what I mean! What kinds can you make, I would probably have to get a hand broom that you have! Right like what is it got something you don’t have? Hmmm wondered about that I love your work so much, it’s beautiful 🤩
Thank you! I have the Colt type peacemaker revolvers, (mine are Italian made), black powder revolvers, and a Colt 1911. The one in this video is not my gun.
Your a trapper so am I. Your a leathercragte so am I. Lol. It's to bad that we are so far apart cause I'm sure that we could get into something. Lol. 🍻
Very Nice,I really like basket stamp, You do such good work. About how much do you sell them for?
Thank you. Depends a lot on the size of gun and style of holster. One like this, I've been selling for about $50. Shoulder holsters take more leather, so $75-$100.
very cool muskrat is that the cz75 or the hi power? both are fantastic guns great video
I'm not sure Joe. I couldn't find a model on it. It just says Browning 40 S&W? It's nice! Very similar to a 1911 Colt.
@@MuskratOutdoors oh very cool you have a 40 caliber hi power love the high power its a nice gun similar to a 1911 but double and single action forget the model name but most definately a browning hi power
Beautiful can you do a video on a rattlesnake skin gun sling I have a few timber rattler skins I have tanned up.
Actually, I am long over due making one for a friend. I'll try to do that. Work is really busy this time of year, so it will probably not be until about September.... please subscribe or check back!
These leatherwork videos are mesmerizing! I have some very very old "strap harness" leather of different kinds. Would really old leather be good for anything?
Thank you! Old dried out leather can sometimes be softened in water and used for things like gun holsters. Sometimes it dry rots though and gets brittle. It won't stamp or tool very well though. Old strap leather looks great on furniture and things too.
@@MuskratOutdoors Been years since I looked at it. Someone begged me for it, then never came to get it, so I put in back in the pole shed and covered it up. My wife's grandpa is who gathered it. I hate to waste things that have been salvaged by past generations. Thanks
That holster looks sharp! There's quite a bit of work and experience that goes into making that. Are you still selling them online (gunbroker if I remember)?
I haven't for awhile. I was selling them on Gunbroker though. If I ever get caught up again, I probably will.
Looking back at some old one's how thick is that piece of hide ,picking up on some tips here going to inbark on a small holster for a little 22 revolver appreciate the info .
I like mine to be about 10 ounce saddle skirting, but most use about 8 ounce. It's expensive, but American made, Herman Oak, or Wicket & Craig brand leather is much easier to work with and tools better. To me, it's worth the extra cost.
Lol sorry for all the replies service is bad at times
I do have another question
Wondering if you could go into more detail on your holster build?
Thank You
Don't be sorry! I'm glad to have the comments. I'll sure try.
There's a guy who makes them just like that by the name of J.M. Malone out of Priest Lake, I have 3 or 4 of his
There used to be a lot of custom makers, but it seems like less and less all the time.
@@MuskratOutdoors his makers mark even looks very similar to yours. Glad to see people still making things with their hands
@@Northwoods208 Neat! I am too. Mass production is driving out a lot of this type of thing.
OK...I want one!
It's obvious you have the pattern now....lol (browning hp)
How much, and where do I send a check?
Ha! If i do it before I give it back to hip, I can make one. I've been charging $50 + shipping. My email address is muskrat14@hotmail.com
@@MuskratOutdoors email sent 👍
Enjoy the video
I was wondering how I was basketstamp the holster I am doing for a friend
What size leather did you use?
Most folks use about 8 ounce for holsters, but I like them a little thicker . 10 ounce or so.
Thank You and again I enjoyed video
