Sam Andrews is like the Bob Ross of leather working. He has a unique voice and mannerism that's extremely relaxing to listen to, and his skills are honed to a fine razor edge after many years of delivering to his customers exactly what they're looking for.

@@jadesluv First, we both agree that the voting system needs to be secure! And mail ballots should be minimal - as you stated, for the military only! And I would argue that The Military - not the USPS! - should be inn charge of THE SECURED TRANSPORTATION OF THE BALLOTS! And all other voting should be IN PERSON at the COMPUTER THAT COUNTS, AND ISSUES A DUPLICATE BARCODED RECIEPT! A recount - if needed - will rely on the receipts !! What do you mean by ELECTRONIC BALLOTS? The ballots are on paper, as far as I know... I am in "KALIFORNIA"... if there are ANY votes collected directly on a computer I am not aware of them.. Now, I am a computer specialist, and I can assure you that BALLOT COUNTING utilizing mechanization (started in 188...I think..) COULD BE MOST EFFICIENT AND SECURED, if not left un-monitored! It seems to me that ALL DemocRATS are anti America, and will DO ANYTHING TO ACHIEVE THAT.... and yes, there are some RINOs that join them! What happened in recent elections proved to me that MOST PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT and many ARE MORONS TO BOOT, and many DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICA! Let me take you back to 2007-2008 when AN SOB named HUSSEIN OBAMA, was ushered into THE WHITE HOUSE in spite of the fact that HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE & SELECTIVE SERVICE CARD!! Those elections were stolen too and nobody was penalized! Indeed, even JFK stole elections by having DEAD-PEOPLE voting for him in CHICAGO! That's the way of DemocRATS/LEFTISTS/FASCISTS! It is THE IGNORANCE OF PEOPLE that got us here! The computers used in latest election were DOING MORE THAN COUNTING VOTES, and they WERE CLEARLY CONNECTED TO SERVERS OUT OF THE USA! But the CORRUPT SYSTEM -- TOO BIG A GOVERNMENT -- that is ALWAYS controlled by DemocRATS/LEFTISTS prevented the examination of the computers ! The counting machines - computers -- are very helpful in making it easier and faster, but there should be A VIGILANT, JUST monitoring of the process! As you may know, you can make bets on HORSE RACING over the internet! And it is, in a way, A VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE (a horse) TO WIN! that system is EXTEREMLY SECURE AND ACCURATE! Similar principles can be applied to the BALLOT COUNTING, with RECEIPTS, as I mentioned above!

A rare pleasure to see a real artisan working with the traditional materials and tools.

I have made “A LOT” of holsters. I’ve never seen this one. I think you guys have hit on a real winner. I don’t make to sell. I just do leather as a hobby and give it away to family and friends. So I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make and share this video with us. Tom

Also, I must say, you have to respect a man that is an absolute master at his craft! You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work and it certainly shows!

I’ve worked with my hands all of my 40+ professional years. Leather working is definitely not in my repertoire. It’s a real pleasure to watch a true craftsman performing his art. Absolutely beautiful. I will become a customer. Thank you.

You are an artist. I've made leather and kydex holsters for myself and for friends, but I have not mastered the art like you have, which is evident in my MacDaniel II. Thank you for allowing yourself to be filmed while making your holsters. It proves you are truly a master at your craft. If you weren't, you would be insecure about allowing people to see your process, but you know you're on the next level. People can see how you do it, but they won't be able to duplicate it anywhere near your level of skill!

I am surprised how much Mr. Andrews is willing to share his trade craft, enough that I think I need a car jacker holster from him.

Amazing how a 100 year old machine makes modern stuff look like a joke.

One of these days I’ll give it a go myself…I doubt it will look like Sam’s work though 🤣

Way back in the 70s, my Dad saw a "pancake" holster. He liked the idea. And I made one to fit a Colt 1911A1 that he brought back from Saipan in WWII. Hand stitched the holster. No liner. Soaked the thing overnight, formed the holster to the pistol that I wrapped in Saranwrap. Inside was oiled after forming. It can be used left handed or right handed. Still have it. Lightening fast out of the leather. I salute Andrew's techniques and appreciate the tips on holster making.

The age of true craftsmen that take pride in their work is almost gone. I did auto restoration for almost 40 years, you can't find too many any more that can work the metal, they just want to fill it with Bondo and take shortcuts. I have always liked Leather holsters, and now have a new respect for the craftsmanship that goes into making them. I hope what you teach will be taken by someone with the same care and pride.

You sir are quite the craftsman and teacher. I will be ordering one or more of your holsters. You have a voice for radio or tv. Thanks for your gift of knowledge.

I'm very impressed with the congeniality Sam displays when demonstrating his craft. He comes across as sincere and more than willing to demonstrate his time developed techniques. A true craftsman and a guy who seems like would be easy to talk to in the shop.

Bought a car jack holster and mag pouch from Sam for my P365 a year ago and I must say it is the best combo I have ever purchased. I personally called Sam and asked him if he could build the holster to accommodate The P365 with a Holosun red sight mounted on it. Same replied that was not a problem. This holster is every thing he says it is, Thanks Sam. Great product

I wish this guy was my dad. Lol, no, but on a serious note, the way he talks about the materials and tools and his 2:1 ration of edge and his little tips speaks to his experience and it was really enlightening and a pleasant experience to see him take time explaining why.

I could watch this guy all day,he seems like a real interesting character. Love leather holsters and he makes real quality stuff. Great vid!

I’ve made holsters for 30 years, and I always fell like a beginner and learn so much when I watch your videos…your a true craftsman Mr. Andrews…thank you for sharing your craftsmanship with us.

Wow! I was mesmerized from start to finish. What a true craftsman. I'll never bitch about the cost of a custom holster. Amazing!

That cutting forward on carpet was worth the price of admission.

Watching Sam work is amazing. I've got a shoulder holster from him and I love it. Great video man.

Always neat to see how things are made. That's some serious American craftsmanship there. Beautiful holsters 👊🏼🇺🇸

I'm on the first week of a three driving trip of the northeastern state. I've been carrying my Glock 43 in the beautiful Carjacker for a week now. I have never used a more comfortable and accessible holster while driving and general carry. I pull my belt buckle to the right so the holster rides just left of center. Easy access of an appendix holster without the danger of having the gun pointed at your groin area or femoral artery. A great product and fine man to deal with.

This has to be the most interesting video I’ve ever watched. His voice and craftsmanship are marvelous

Wow this tutorial on holster making by Andrews Custom Leather has left me so impressed. I didn’t think holsters would still be made this way. True hand craftsmanship from beginning to end. I want one!

I used to do some leatherwork as a hobby before getting internet service years ago and had to teach myself through trial and error and I'm surprised that some of the techniques I came up with are similar to his. Having said that I learned a lot of what I was missing watching this video. Most people have no clue about the amount of work that goes into making a leather holster or leather goods in general and videos like this give people a greater appreciation as to the amount of work and craftmanship it takes to make one. I have a good quality leather holster that I've been wearing for many years and I recently had to replace one of the snaps but it is still in great shape and working as it should. You may find other holster makers as good as Sam but I doubt you will find one better, awesome work.

Wonderful work you do Sam. I had some American Alligator and made 3 pancake holsters for my 9mm and .38 pistols. They turned out great. Alligator to me is so forgiving in that I can splice 3 or 4 small pieces into the visible part and it looks really good. Thank you for the great work you do with leather. ♥

Always a joy watching Sam making his Art.....

So happy to have found this channel again I can listen to this man talk all day long just like Bob Ross. Lala land here I come 💤

Sam makes really great holsters! I learn a lot from watching his videos. I make custom leather wallets and I will be wondering how something is done or what tool would I use for something and I see Sam showing the process or the tool and it’s like “wow that’s how!”

Sam, you are a Master of your art and a patient man for detailing to us why you do things the way you do them. I can tell those pieces of advice were learned the hard way. Also, that voice! You could read me the phone book, and I would subscribe.

A skill that has been replaced by machines, but never as god as a skilled craftsman! You’re truly top shelf!!!

Nothing and i mean is better than hand made craftsmanship NOTHING. The precision of hand eye is the best way to make an original holster great job gentleman..

Beautiful work as always. Honestlly might try making one of these holsters for my dad. He always keeps his M&P Shield in his glove compartment while driving because it's not very comfortable. But this might be his new driving holster. Love Sam's work btw. I've learned a lot from the previous videos you've posted.

Excellent video! I’ve worked leather on the personal/hobby level for over 5 decades now and am always looking for another project. Do you sell patterns, leather, supplies or kits? This is such a unique style holster and I can see building a few for myself and my son. You are on a whole other level and I have a great deal of respect for how relatively easy you make this look. The true sign of an artist whose mastered his craft. Thank you for this video!

Sir, you are a true artisan. Absolutely beautiful holster.

I've been using custom made leather for years. It's nice to see how it's done. A lot of work and years of experience in every piece!

I always say, "whatever a professional can do in 2 hours, I can easily do in 20 at a far lower level of quality". Great video!! Nothing like handmade quality done by a real pro.

Holy cow dude, you just took me on a totally unexpected trip. I had no idea I was going to see a lifetime of American ingenuity and craftsmanship and experience presented in 30 minutes. That was awesome. I'd love to buy one of these guys holsters but after watching that I would think it must be about $500! And he said this was the easy one😂 anyway that was a fantastic video thanks for sharing that

Great video. I've been an on-and-off hobby leatherworker for a couple decades (mostly trivial stuff) and helped a few people get started with of leatherworking over the years. Those little tips you're explaining as you go -- the carpet and reversed blade for cutting, getting the snap started with light taps before hitting hard, how to brush the barge glue on -- are great advice and just the sort of thing that people need when they're learning. The carpet trick is a new one for me, definitely going to try that out.

It’s always a treat to watch Sam work. What a great craftsman. My gosh, I always, always, always pick up a good tip from him. Thank you both for this.

Awesome to see the process! My mother was a seamstress, made our clothes growing up and taught me how to sew my own shirts and I did some leather work as well. This gentleman obviously is a craftsman with years of experience. I recently got a hand made custom leather holster from another outfit, it wasn't from Andrews, but I like the idea of the cross draw configuration, so I may have to partake in the future.Thank you Hank!

Thank you Hank and Sam for sharing this example of craftsmanship.

I like those burnishing/forming tools, I never thought of the handle attachment before, that's genius.

I am utterly stunned by how much labor goes into that.

I love that he doesn't use a tone of expensive tools to do simple things like set snaps.

I have been retired after 36 years in the prosthetic and orthotic field and am very familiar with the leather working techniques used in this video. It was a pleasure to watch.

Great to see Sam in action demonstrating his craft. I own 3 of his butterfly rigs, and I could not be more impressed with their quality.
