I agree, absolutely beautiful holster. No wonder they cost so much lots of work by a professional. I won’t ever bitch about the cost of one made like this again, thank you for sharing.
Thank you,Sir,for your wonderful videos.Beyond words can say.Watching them is like being in a beautiful valley setting surrounded by mountains and listening to nature speak.
Thanks for yhe video, I make my own gun holsters and this video gave me good tips, I already have made about 150 gun holsters and some I have given as presents for Christmas.
For those wondering, the book is "Packing Iron - Gunleather of the Frontier West" by Richard C. Rattenbury, considered the bible of western gun leather. Unfortunately it is out of print, and expensive on the used book market.
What oz. Leather do you use for your holsters. And what type awl do you use. I've tried to sharpen it but man Oman does it not want to go through the Leather
Great piece. My only suggestion is to add a liner to the inside. You don't want the rough backside of the leather rubbing against your gun. Suede lining would make it even fancier.
Suede picks up and holds too much grit. Smooth cow hide is best and can be cleaned/re-oiled as required. Lined is very good for the gun, for sure. This is a really good looking holster.
@@agarfrance9272 thank you very much , witch one do you use to go over your flowers, I've been trying every witch way to do what you've done but no way .your are an inspiration thank you
Thanks! I just made my first holster. It turned out so much better than I ever imagined it would. I saw a video where a man used olive oil instead of neatsfoot. That's what I did cuz I had some on hand and the color tone is the same.
It's a Horseshoe Brand Tool (Jeremiah Watt) Part of a set of three called the HSBT-Russell Tools www.ranch2arena.com/russeelltool.html By the way keep up with your videos, I've been watching them.
I was on his site and asked them if that was theirs (no idea how I found it) but now I want one! Great work and thanks for watching my little leather vids!
Fascinating work, tho the design misses the *retension (purpose) at the bottom-rear of the trigger guard. It’s important to understand and accommodate the USE of any design- before making it LOOK good. Your use of edging tools in carving gets yours waaay past the (typical, even stereotyped) leaf-scroll “cowboy sht” of most carving!
The background really ruins this piece, along with the pear shading. Try to evenly strike the backgrounder tool to get a consistent flow rather than having so much differing levels of depth. For the pear shader, follow the curves of the leaf down the stem to add flow and life to the piece.
You have serious skills but if this was to instruct a person you missed the mark. So we settled 2 things. You are highly skilled. 2nd. your video was about watching you work, no explanations, no hint of what most of your measurement came from or how it effected others. You left us hanging.
Philip Roland I find Mr France to be very informative and inspirational. He is being very modest saying there are others that are better teachers. There are a number of true craftsman teaching for free on UTube what it took me years to learn by trial and error and wasted materials. I would like to thank Mr France for taking the time to make a video of his work so l can look over his shoulder and glean from his work. Thank you Mr France, keep up the great work.

Fantástico trabalho, para uma arma fantástica.
artistic job .Thank you.
Impressive. Thanks for the video.
Hallo,
what is the name of the tool you use in the video from minute 4:55 to 5:05 and where can I buy it? Thank you and many greetings from Germany!
C'est du super boulot félicitation
Where can I find that carving pattern?
Beautiful ...
That's amazing
espectacular,que trabajos tan hemosos hace Señor
Where did you get the carving pattern? What tool was used fo the double lines?
I tend to make my California pattern and more with a high back to keep the pistol grip off the skin.
Love your work, what size & type of thread do you use on your work?
Great work!!
What oz. Leather do you use for your holsters. And what type awl do you use. I've tried to sharpen it but man Oman does it not want to go through the Leather
I realy like your work
would you tell me where you got the single action replica you used in your video Hooks leather and tack
I'd love to know where you get your leather from
Great piece. My only suggestion is to add a liner to the inside. You don't want the rough backside of the leather rubbing against your gun. Suede lining would make it even fancier.
Suede picks up and holds too much grit. Smooth cow hide is best and can be cleaned/re-oiled as required. Lined is very good for the gun, for sure. This is a really good looking holster.
Что за масло на двадцать второй минуте Вы используете?
Perfect
What type of hammer is that? Gorgeous by itself with the etching...
What oil finish did you use?
Read the coments, man. He used neatsfoot oil.
Sir awesome work! I just wished you didnt skip as much of the carving part, that was the best
hi sir, what's the thickness of the leather you use on this video, it seems quite thick.
I think I used about 10 or 12 oz
Would like to know what creaser you are using or if anyone knows where I could get one.
It’s from a set of three I got from ranch2arena.com… www.ranch2arena.com/products/030516-fk-russell-tool-group
@@agarfrance9272 thank you very much , witch one do you use to go over your flowers, I've been trying every witch way to do what you've done but no way .your are an inspiration thank you
It’s the one called the DB double beveler
@@agarfrance9272 thank you very much 😊
I’m sorry, my mistake, the one used on the flowers on this holster is the BB header blade.
Outstanding! What fibbing she product was that he put on at the end?
Pure Neatsfoot Oil
Thanks! I just made my first holster. It turned out so much better than I ever imagined it would. I saw a video where a man used olive oil instead of neatsfoot. That's what I did cuz I had some on hand and the color tone is the same.
I'm speechless
SUUUPER 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
That mint a dying art as machines are taking over carnt beat hand-made u should be very proud
Really nice work. What kind of thread do you use? .
I think I used 5 cord linen on this holster, at about 8 stitches per inch
Is it an original revolver
great work master! did you use on the holster just neatsfoot oil?
just neatsfoot oil
Do you apply water with ammonia to the edge?
I've never heard of using ammonia, on this piece I just used water, sometimes I use saddle soap and sometimes some beeswax rubbed on.
Water with just about 5% of ammonia stiffens leather once dry.
素晴しい腕前です！美しい・・・。
Commonly called a "Slim Jim" holster. An authentic 19th century design, although fancied up a bit.
It's authentic for the 19th centuy to routinely "fancy up" stuff quite a bit.
We're is your mark?
What is the double line tool you are using at 5:05?

Hey how can I get you to make me a holster?
nice .
you sell these right?
email me
Muito bom.
Why wouldnt this carry any 1860 Colt with the same barrel length real or not? Also you need a cigar in that ashtray bud..
Wow
You are god 💪
Надо сделать под свой поджик 👹😁

You don't tell us what you are doing. You never discuss anything

"1860 colt army percussion cap pistol cast metal non-firing replica.".......What a shame! .....Waist of leather and very good work!
The pursuit of art and excellence in craft is never a shame.
Nor is the pursuit of excellence in spelling.
It`s perfekt for this work, then the Real thing in wen Don. I love it.
In these non speaking videos it is tough to learn anything
Sorry Philip, they're not mean to be tutorials, just inspirational. There's a lot of people better than I that you could learn from.
Philip Roland I find Mr France to be very informative and inspirational. He is being very modest saying there are others that are better teachers. There are a number of true craftsman teaching for free on UTube what it took me years to learn by trial and error and wasted materials. I would like to thank Mr France for taking the time to make a video of his work so l can look over his shoulder and glean from his work. Thank you Mr France, keep up the great work.
Beautiful holster
