A recent build for a great client. It's a right-hand cross draw for a Ruger Blackhawk .41 magnum. (I used a colt SAA for the video)
The holster is made from 13-15 oz Hermann Oak saddle skirting. Oiled with pure Neatsfoot Oil and dyed with a mixture of Fiebings Ox Blood Red and Mahogany. The belt is Hermann Oak split down to approx 10 oz and lined with 5 oz veg tanned leather. I used a combination of hand (saddle stitching) and machine stitching.
In another time, I was a Deputy Sheriff. In those days the Sheriff’s Dept. issued us a 38 revolver in a very cheap holster. I quickly resolved that if my life was going to be on the line, I needed more protection. I bought a Smith & Westin Stainless Steel 357 magnum. Of course the 357 magnum didn’t fit in my issued 38 holster. A friend of mine took me to a Smith & Westin certified gunsmith who it turns out I knew all my life. He checked out my gun and asked me to leave it with him for the weekend so he could check it out for me and make some important modifications to it. When I went back to pick it up on Sunday, he not only made adjustments but he also installed an screw adjustment so that I could adjust the tension on the “pull” of the trigger. One setting for while I was on patrol and incremental adjustments for the firing range and target shooting competitions. As a present, he made me a custom holster and gun-belt for my new 357 magnum. He designed and hand stamped a magnificent design on both holster and belt. It’s still a beautiful set 49 years later! Best regards, Richard
Whose Smith & Westin ?
A subsidiary of Smith & Wesson ?

Потрясающая работа,👍
Ručně šité ❤👍👍
Fabulous work my man, cheers!
You are by far my favourite leather worker on TH-cam however I do wish that you would post something other that all these gun holsters again. I love watching you work but these do get to be somewhat repetitive, but please don't go back to not posting at all. I really missed you!
You’re right, there is a bit of a holster overload here, I’m going to try to post more of my other projects in the future.
@@agarfrance9272 thank you for your kind reply. Sorry for being a little pushy. Now I'm really excited about what's going to come next!
If you're taking requests, I would like to see a tutorial on how you design and execute your leather tooling.
Настоящие произведение искусства!

Amazing!!
As always, beautiful work. Looks like 12 to 14 ounce leather. Hard to cut and hand sew. I don't know if I have enough years left to get as good as you. Thanks.
You could make a Harnas fore a fotographer to put in his lenzes and cameras so he can shoot whom and what he wants, dressed as a cowboy. You great👌
16:04 I like these legs walking on the belt. :)
I do enjoy your gun holster and belt videos a lot. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of leather do you use to make them? And how thick?
It’s just about always heavy Hermann Oak saddle skirting or tooling leather. Lately I’ve enjoyed using Wickett and Craig 12 - 14 oz.
Do you feel the relief at (the rear of) the trigger guard is tight enough? Stretch out? Without a retainer, that might be critical.
Beautiful color. What is your ratio of oxblood to black dye?
Beautiful work. New to holster making and was able to follow but why the slicker and trash bag when you started the holster?
Probably to pre-stretch the leather (with glass slicker)
You use the slicker to close the pores of the leather up, it takes dye more evenly and gives a very nice finish, and the plastic bag is used after wetting the leather, cases the leather, the water penetrates the leather more evenly, so the leather accepts tooling better than just a surface wetting of the leather.
What kind of awl are you using to make the stitching holes with?
how do you know what hole spacing to use for the shell holders?
Hi, i am just curios to know a tjong i am new in leather crafting, why do you tape the backside of the leather?
To keep the leather from stretching when punching and tooling.
What happened to the Tan Kote video? 🤔
It’s being re-edited
How wide do you make your belts
Usually 2.5 to 3 inches
what brand of rivet setting tools do you have?
They're Douglas Tools, they're now available at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply

thank you
Your work is just beautiful. However, the buckles that you used did not have the quality of your leatherwork. Pity.
Buckles are replaceable, and his are fine.
