Making a Leather Bandolier for SHTF -- Leathercraft ASMR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 мар 2024
- This is the second half of my scoped pistol holster build. In this leather working video, I make a cross-body shoulder bandolier rig; complete with pouches / bags for ammo boxes and magazine sheaths. I'm particularly happy with the way it came out; and as a bonus, it's very comfortable to wear even when fully loaded.
Is .22 LR too small a caliber for the zombie apocalypse? Maybe. Shot placement will be paramount. But that's what the optic on the Ruger MKIIl is for!
For the traditionalists, this is a laser-heavy video out of necessity. To be honest, without my xTool P2, I probably wouldn't have even attempted it. I also use my Prusa 3D printer for creating the wet molds for the magazine sheaths. This is another piece of tech that has loads of applications for leatherwork. Once I had the patterns nailed down and converted to gcode, it's just a matter of letting the machine do the precision cutting and me following up with all the handwork.
Although they didn't sponsor this video, below is a link to save my viewers a few bucks on purchasing a P2 direct from xTool:

This has to be the most pointless thing you could ever get for your Ruger mark series pistol.
I love it and I want it.
Awesome work.❤
vet grip tape -- search term flea bay about 1.50c
i wrap it around the barrel so i can hold it while i adjust right hand shooting grip. good for rifles shotguns too
Watching this video was very therapeutic after working a long shift. The ASMR was great to listen to. Now if only I could get one of those for my glock 17! Lol.
me too
I did not know that these laser machines could be used for leather. I learn something new every day.
Thanks for watching!
I'm with you! Now I want one 😅
welp it is a lazer
You're my wife has a cricket and a xtool for her business and she's going to start cutting out the leather sheath design that I designed Myself by drawing and we're going to put it into the program and have it laser cut for me for my knife I make and then all I do is sew them together
@@RoadAgentLeather Do you have the laser and 3D files somewhere for purchase? If not can you point me to where you got them
This is the coolest way to carry .22 I've ever seen. Great work! Truly amazing craftsmanship!
Thank you very much!
Just amazing, from the master craftsman mind to his tools and to his hands... hand sculpted and functional. True artisan
The skills, techniques, the tools, the attention to detail for something so personal and frivolous...YOU'RE A MANIAC! I love it! 😂😂😂 Absolutely amazing, and you're certainly guaranteed to have the only one! Beautiful work.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
that would be an awesome rig for someone with a revolver and rifle combo in .22 nice work
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I've got a 38/357 rifle and revolver combo that I take hunting and hiking all the time. I'm curious if I could convince my wife to let me pick up another hobby to try and make a cartridge belt for them.
Every time I see one of your builds it just reaffirms my belief that you are an F-N wizard. Love your work. Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow, thank you!
This is absolutely brilliant and so well thought out. I feel like you could make a living just selling the laser cuts for this project alone. Beautiful work.
i absolutely Love the color scheme, the dark main body contrasted beautifully with the bright tan and browns. overall a beautiful and creative holstering system
That turned out awesome! Thank you for taking time to build, film, edit and post this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
If any of you have yet to come across the "Jetfire Jim" story, things like this will remind you of it, and you're seriously missing out.
Definately a thumbs up on everything! Absolutely great work and great caliber and pistol! Those pistols will take down a rabbit with a head shot at 50+ yds/w open sights.
Now for a chest rig for .223/556 magazines that can be carried on your belt or chest rig. I made one with single mag carriers that will handle different capacity magazines. And added a soft bag for storing empty mags. A small box thats attached to the sling that holds a speed loader spoon for speed strips. A leather box on the stock that can carry a 20 round box of 223 ammo on speed strips. These sure add weight but they give me the ability to reach out a few hundred yards.
Then a a horse type rifle scabbard for the E-Bike....... ok thats enough, I'm getting carried away.
Sounds like you're ready! Thanks for watching!
Minuteman style! Just pick it up and go.......or stay.
Remarkable, what a great way to satisfy the mind and hands.
I had a couple of questions going in, and saw you did what i did when i made mine, almost identical, until you got to the different caliber part....
So ya set my brain on fire and i made another sling to go the other side with a sort of saddle pouch, or a drop bag to hold the extra loads not of the same caliber, to give to my team mates if i had any or to sell or use as trade currency at outposts in that far away idea of a place.
Great video man, i really enjoyed it.
Thanks
All good ideas. Thanks for watching!
That’s pretty cool! Add a cleaning kit and you’re set!
Beautiful work again! Another amazing result. Couldn’t help but think of Chewbacca’s bandolier in Star Wars. Love to see you do your interpretation of any kind of Star Wars inspired item. Keep up the great vids!
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of my grandpa and some of my uncles working on shoes back in Leon Guanajuato the capital of shoe making, at least back in the 80s. Good memories
Beauty! That is an absolutely magnificent piece of work there! Outstanding!
Thank you very much!
That is an awesome carry rig! Outstanding design and function.
Glad you like it!
@@RoadAgentLeather do you have PDFs?
-A mixture of old school tools and new equipment.
-A man who knows how to sharpen his tools.
-Sure hands.
I could watch this stuff all day.
Okay, now I need a rig like this for my 10mm rechambered Rhino...that just looks AWESOME
Thanks for watching!
That's a really nice machine It saves your hands so much work
For sure! Thanks for watching!
True modern artisan! Absolutely fantastic! And your video skills are top notch. And me being a huge fan of the MkIII I need one of these!
Thanks for watching!
Zombie head shots, mark 4 Ruger tactical suppressed with a nice scope like that.
Perfect setup.
thanks!
Amazing craftsmanship!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this!!! VERY nice work and a beautiful product.
This is just gorgeous.
Thanks for watching!
My goodness beautiful! love the way the holster attached and hung to the bandoleer
Thanks for the comment and for subscribing to the channel!
Brilliant work given me idea's for more leather work 👏
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
That is awesome. I want one from my Mark three Hunter and one for my 2245 Ruger.
wow!! amazing project, looks so freaking cool and wild!! LOVE IT
Thanks so much!
Picking up a lot of tips, thanks for that. Decades ago I started using plastic aspirin containers to hold .22LR, they hold more and they're water proof. This system designed to hold them instead would add a third more rounds and the plastic containers hold up better...
Yeah that’s just plain cool. Feels Han Solo meets SHTF gunslinger. I also like that you printed those boxes for different calibers, I’ve always said that if I was stuck with one gun for the rest of time that it would be my Glock 17. Obviously you wouldn’t be able to carry as much ammo but it’s cool to see you could adjust the kit to carry something with a little bit more pop.
Walking around a wasteland with 5000 rounds of ammunition on your person cannot be a bad idea. Unless you encounter someone with a scoped rifle that shoots you before you get in range of your .22lr out of a pistol. If actually considering this for shtf I’d recommend a silencer and copious amounts of stealth. Else that sweet looking rig will be another’s trophy.
Zombies don´t shoot.
@@mattimatkalainenScumbag survivors do, though.
Walking loot box.
It does make you a Target I would prefer the gray man approach
@@mattimatkalainen There will be other survivors, I am not suggesting a zombie would shoot you from distance with a scoped rifle. Maybe you didn’t read the whole comment or missed something in the reading of it.
While I don’t expect the zombie apocalypse I do have larger toys that could use something like this. Thanks for the adjustable idea
No problem! Thanks for watching!
That's a beautiful piece of work!
Thank you very much!
Could that be any better. I’ll take 2. True craftsmanship.
Thanks for watching!
That's just about the awesomest thing ever.
Thanks for watching!
I always look forward to seeing what you do next. You give me great inspiration.
Thanks for watching!
Very impressive. Every step
Thanks!
Whoa, I subbed just based on the thumbnail. Badass project!!!
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing!
Looking Good 💯!!! Functional and fashionable 🤘🤘👍
WOW ! This is AMAZING..... Great job pard .
Nice and really not necessary 😂 perfect for movie!
Now we need a leather tactical vest!
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work, great concept.
Thank you very much!
For those of you who don’t know what a .22 cal. Is let’s call it what it is 5.56. That’s right. The military loves it.
That's very impressive 👏 beautiful work
great craftsmanship
Elegant work, truly
That is an absolutely EPIC rig! Awesome work! 🙌🏼
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Amazing Work!!!!
I have no leather crafting skills. But that is a beautiful piece of kit. 🫡
Thanks for the kind words!
love it. beautiful work
Wow ! Super cool. Great talent. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My father in law was a leather worker he passed 2/2/24, I sat and watched him make holsters /belts/ shotgun bags you name it . we were lucky enough to get the industrial Singer sewing machine for leather as a gift from him as well as some of the leather tools. He will be missed.
Sorry for your loss. Do you plan to take up the craft yourself?
@@RoadAgentLeather after watching your channel, most likely.
@@gunsitescout5535 sorry for your loss. Similar scenario with mine…but with woodworks. Crafting is blissful.
That is gorgeous
Awesome looking rig. Your creativity is amazing.
Thank you very much!
That’s outstanding 👍
You really do some nice work.
I appreciate that!
Absolutely well done. And excellent choice in American iron.
Thanks for watching!
FANTASTIC DESIGN!! Absolutely love it!!
Only real "tactical" issue is, well if we're talking zombies. It's the noise you'd make walking around wearing that thing.
"I got rounds that jingle jingle jangle~"
If they're in the original paper boxes, they shouldn't make that much noise.
Nice rig. Thank you for the ideas.
Thanks for watching!
That is a great rig for the Ruger. Good way to carry lots of ammo
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for watching!
Now that is great work!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Great Job !!!
Thanks
Love the set up. I agree with you on what your reasoning is 100%. .22 is great for accuracy and handling. You could probably place 3rds of .22 in a face faster than your opponent with a 9mm. Hold off a lot of people with .22. I'm sure even with body armor you could squeeze a few rounds in between.
Very good points. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool man. Edit:after watching the whole video amazing work. Also viable zombie setup for sure
nice work! i like the look and the design
Thank you!
So cool! Love the multi caliber ability.
Thanks for watching!
I love a good leather rig. Synthetics are better in a lot of ways, but leather still has an amazing feel
Spectacular work! I envy your skill set.
Thanks for watching!
Its beautiful
Thank you!
All I can say is this is excellent thank you for the video so much. Have a great day.☘️🇺🇸🤘⚡️⚡️
Absolutely beautiful as well as practical. Kudos to you Sir on a job well done. Cheers!
My favorite thing for practicality were the fingerholes in the pouches. Old-fashioned, but functional.
Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks! Although the holes make it necessary to have some form of inner container. Hence the boxes I 3D printed at the end.
What a beautiful job..!
Thanks for watching!
Ignore all others. The 22lr is an awesome round. My EDC pistol is a Walther 22 WMP. the 22 mag being my favorite
agreed! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Glorious ❤
😮 that’s awesome!!
Awesome as always!
Thanks again!
That is awesome great work.
Thanks!
@@RoadAgentLeather only thing, I'm a little jealous I don't have one.
Incredibly beautiful work. When I first saw the boxes, I thought they were for Ruger 10/22 magazines.
Very cool - you do nice work
Thank you very much!
@@RoadAgentLeather i would totally buy - and there is probably a market for a ruger 10/22 bandolier - minus the pistol holster - or maybe with the holster if it fit any of the mark 2,3,4,5 pistols - a bandolier that held loaded 10/22 rotary mags - a few boxes of .22 lr and a few mark pistol mags would be EPIC! Love your taste in the color scheme and the pistol in general!
This was an informative and entertaining video.
Thanks!
🎉🎉فخامة ❤
First comment!! Thanks for watching!
Always awesome. I like the weathered look. It's important to look like your stuff is well used when facing down a hoard of zombies. I think I would go with a shotgun, though. If they're coming in 3 deep, you can take out more in one shot. 😂
good point! Thanks for watching!
Pretty awesome rig
Thanks for watching AND subscribing!
Very cool.
I love the idea, but it would probably be awkward to reload. Magazines are typically placed on the weak side because they are easy to grab with your off hand. In your current configuration you’d have to reach across your torso to grab the magazine. I would suggest adding a belt with the mag pouches placed at the 10 or 11 o’clock position. A belt would also ensure that your gun is always in the same position if you ever have to draw it under stress.
I really like this design here! I myself have been thinking of making myself a bandolier rig for my Colt Single Action Revolvers in 45LC but also use it with a lever repeater too.
I didn't know laser engravers/cutters could be used like this on leathercraft. Thanks for showing us!
While this does indeed seem "pointless" I want one too - or something similar - for my suppressed 10-22 Takedown & SR-22 combo with a mix of mag holders for Ruger BX-110, BX-25, and SR-22 magazines, LOL!
Thanks for watching! Yes, pretty much any laser engraver/cutter will cut leather. It's just a matter of adjusting settings.
Awesome work! Ive said for decades my choice for an 'only' gun would be a quality .22 pistol.
Same here. You can carry so much of it . . . and it's cheaper too.

Neat. I do like me a good bandolier, they're classic. 500 rds of 22lr sounds like a good day at the range, and to answer your question at the beginning, 500 rds of 22lr or 50 rds of 12ga is a false dichotomy because *everyone* knows that crossbows are ideal for the zombies lol
Lol. Valid point . . . until you're trying to cock your crossbow while the hoards of undead are attacking! Thanks for watching!
Sweet! Maybe someday.
I would love something like this for my Glock 19 with a sheath for my tops operator 7. Man this is Slick as hell. Great job.
I wouldn't mind having one
Thanks for watching!
Awesome you do beautiful work a true craftsman I want one we need more talented people in America like you and best of all not made in China
Thanks for the kind words!
Amazing work!
If the zombie apocalypse does hit make sure you build yourself a harness for a melee wepon because ammunition will run out fast.
@jeromedangelo
I think zombies are a thing of the past now! Its aliens we need to keep an eye out for. LOL.
I've built a few bowie knife sheaths in previous videos. I could throw one of those on as well.
Very nice rig, Sir, definitely something one does not see everyday. I admit to having made several purchases since becoming a fan of the zombie genre many years ago......just for fun. As long as that rig does not flop around and beat you half to death while moving, you are GTG.
You are a top level BOSS! That is the coolest goofy thing I've ever seen!
Thats some Rick O'Connell MUMMY shit tight there!
Amazing!!! Take my money!
Thanks for watching!
