Love this video! I think I may modify it for my modern pistol and hunting/camping knife. I'm always amazed at the stamps you put together and they look great; I've started trying different combos myself.
What we don’t see on the videos most of the time is the years of thinking, planning, and test panels Chuck has to draw on. It does look easy once you’ve built up that library. It’s why I’m thankful so many of the skilled leather crafters are making videos now.
So happy this is finally out!!! I needed this for last month's Ocean City Maryland Ren Faire! I did come up with a baldric but just from two old woven belts join together with a specialty double post buckle I got off of eBay. I really like the double post buckle but I don't know how to use it properly detached two ends of a belt. It almost seems just decorative so I might attach it to the front of a ball drink and put the real buckle on the back? Funny how voice to text here's Baldrick, ball drink, hears. Wish we could share pictures in the comments on TH-cam videos. I'll just have to ask advice on the fan page. Hi everybody from Pottstown PA near the PA Ren Faire
It is interesting to see how other people do things. I always punch my holes after all of the dye and top coat are done. The holes tend to collect the liquids, and they sometimes end up going where I don't want them to go.
Yes, you could absolutely wait and punch the holes after dyeing. Those areas seemed to dry very evenly with the rest of this project but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
I always love your videos, but as I am currently making a renaissance inspired sword belt for my rapier, this one was extra fun to watch! Excellent work as always thanks for sharing.
Yep, a flintlock on a rainy day = mud in the pan. Even a "cow's knee" isn't perfect, but it's a good solution for both flint and caplock pistols (and long guns). As to a use for the punchouts, mixed with bits of cut up leather lace, they make a model railroad scenery addition. Ground cover and other uses.
looking to make a simple slim jim style holster with fold over belt loop for my Kentucky flintlock pistol. would like to completely cover and protect the muzzle while keeping it open. any tips on the pattern?

When Chuck’s inner costume nerd comes out it makes for some of my favorite projects and some of my favorite build along videos to just watch.
Chuck is like the Bob Ross of leather work!
I love watching your videos while I tool around the kitchen table making wallets and book covers!
Made one today after watching the video, modified for my needs
As always, a great tutorial, thank you for sharing!
Oh, boy, that was fun! I love the long project videos. Absolutely beautiful piece!!

Perfect timing with this project! I am about to start a couple of pirate baldrics for my local Renaissance festival. Thank you for this!
Very good video Chuck as always. And the project was great. You made it look easy
Love the stamping, you make it look like anyone can make this and indeed thay can, thanks for your wonderful videos.

Love these videos too, very helpful. Thanks a million for doing them!
I smiled through all this video, and ended up with a big grin at the end :D Love it!
I learned ... can't remember where .. but .. use RED gel pens to mark leather since most dyes are red-ish based ... they pretty much blend in.
Man! Chuck is the best!
No freaking way!! This is an awesome project video! I've been meaning to make a new pirate Baldric cause my Dennix replicas aren't very secure in mine
Love the videos man! You guys got me into leatherworking about a year ago! (Love your guys' diamond chisels)
That's awesome, thank you so much!
Fantastic! Excellent project.
I love your videos! They always get me fired up to work on leather!

"You've just got a pretty stick." I laughed out loud and startled my dogs...
I like the belt that you added.

That is so cool!! Great work!
Didnt realize you guys were so close. Gonna have to stop in the shop. With my PIRATE BALDRIC!
Please do!

The Bob Ross of leather craft
Placing all those happy little Chicago screws.

"You got a flinlock on a rainy day, you basically got a pretty stick." BRO 💀💀💀😂
Chuck, I know it is not leather crafting, but would love a video of you doing chainmail.
Could the frog be attached to a leather scabbard? Great video, as always.

give all the waist cuts and hole punchouts to a friend who has a garden who composts it is the ultimate recycling of the leather.
Outstanding! 👌🏻👍🏻
What are you using for that design template material?
Hi Kimberly!
That is our pattern sheet: www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/pattern-sheet-24-x-45?_pos=1&_sid=6040b01ca&_ss=r
What about using a flat blade sewing/lacing punch to make the holes for those little nickel spot?
That should work! As long as the punch blade isn't wider than the tine of the spot.
‘Bravo-Zulu!’ To Johnny Tango!!
Where can I get the pattern for this

Chuck...!
👍
throw the punch dots over in some clear resin and sell as art
There's an idea! :)
lol I thought this would be 10 years old I look and only 8 months
Im throwing all these leather “craft” things away
