@Graham Felipe You are welcome :D

I find the whole thing soothing. The topic, the activity, the progress, the voice, the result. Some people like audio recording of rainstorms etc...........not me. This is my new Bob Ross.

If he ever gets tired of making holsters, he could always make a living narrating books.That's a money voice right there. Great video Hank.

You’re so right

adds a lot more appreciation for the workmanship in the holsters...a lot of work & pride ...I'm more than interested in a leather rig than I was before...thank you Hank for sharing this awesome piece

I could watch and listen to Mr Andrews all day long. I want to be his apprentice! This man is a master craftsman of the highest level

I learned leather-crafting from my mother and have been doing it for years. All of my carry guns have hand-made exotic-hide holsters, made in my small gunsmithing shop. I always worried that word would get out and I would suddenly get lots of people who wanted custom holsters made. Making mass quantities of custom holsters would take the fun out of the craft for me. Big props to Sam Andrews for grinding out holsters day after day and not burning out. Well done, sir.

its beautiful to watch. I think our Host should seriously consider becoming a narrator of audio books or commercials. You can hear in his voice his extreme patience that probably translate to his ability to be such a great craftsman.

I just called in an order for one of these holsters myself. Mr Andrews is one of the most polite and professional men I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. If his holster is half as awesome as he is, then it's a steal of a deal.

I have seen 1,187,323 videos this is in the top 5.

Sam sounds so educated and so well spoken, and beyond master craftsman. He could easily be a trial lawyer.. Just my 2¢

This man is a true artist, I just got a second hand rig for my 1911. It's simply perfection!

this guy has a voice of a angel.

It is obvious Mr Andrews is very experienced and takes great pride and care in making his product. A very interesting video and very generous of Mr Andrews to spend the time to impart the information and demonstration of his skills. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you.

I want to thank Sam for being such a good teacher. He has greatly improved my holster work by watching him over and over. I have tried his techniques and they all work very well.

The slicker, the smoother, the groover the whack stick, the clickie table and the pointy knife. I don’t think I’ll find these in the catalogue. 😂. Fantastic work.

The Bob Ross of leather art

Thanks for doing this extended interview, Hank. Who else would do this but you? So thanks. This guy has a real talent for teaching. It helps that he really seems to love his work.

Mr. Andrews, the quality of your products are unparalleled.

What a great pleasure to watch a master do his thing. I am amazed at the quality and precision of Mr. Andrews. Thank you.

Hank's videos with Sam have been some of the basis of my own holster making. They kind of "nudged" me over the edge. If I ever do get to retire to being holed-up in my shop, I think I may have to play Hank's background music on the loop while I work. Yes, the videos are entertaining, but to see a step-by-step how-it's-made with no pretension, no chest pumping and basic instruction is refreshing. Thanks Hank ... and Thank You, Sam. (... and I like the camera work. Sam's not the only one getting better as time goes on.)

Love that video Hank. The detailed view and explanation of Sam's craftsmanship is remarkable. Thanks to you, Sam, and your crew for shooting and editing the video. Looks like it too a lot of time. Thanks and please produce more like it!

May this man never get arthritis in his hands. So much artistic talent would be lost.

this man needs to do books on tape

Thanks Hank. It's always a joy to see an artisan like Sam working his craft.

That 226 is one sexy pistol. Got my motor runnin. Gonna go give the wife the traveling lumberjack treatment.

Sam, it is an absolute pleasure watching you work. Hank - Thanks very much for bringing these to KZread!

This guy could definitely do a tv show just on holsters and i guarantee you that people would watch him because #1 he's a master craftsman #2 he explains everything he is doing down to the smallest detail. #3 his voice is very mesmerizing while he works. It literally makes you want to pay attention. This man could do anything on a tv show and people would watch him simply because of his voice but knowing him he probably wouldn't sell his soul to show business witch in my opinion is wise.

Nothing beats leather for functionality and beauty. Great job. Thanks for the insight into the process

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your process, skill and artistry.

Man... His voice is how I hear myself in my head but when it comes out it's straight Gilbert Godfrey

Thank you, now I am convinced that Mr. Andrews is the man to see when I'm ready to have my custom shoulder rig made. Great video.

This holster is AWESOME and I'm just now realizing that Sam is the voice over for the Hank Strange video introductions. Sam's holsters are the bomb!

Great video Hank! As a leatherworker myself, I really appreciate quality craftsmanship.

thank you so much Hank for getting this incredible craftsman on camera. I feel like my armature craftsmanship has increased greatly just in the few videos of him that I've watched. He truly makes the best products I've ever seen and it's a absolute pleasure seeing how he goes through the steps and the best part is he doesn't deny that mistakes got him to perfection it really makes the craft seem doable to someone like myself who has had his own share of trial and error with this craft.

Hank, thanks for the video on the MacDaniel II. I loved that you had Sam narrate the opening. Well done sir!

I could listen to him explain/teach anything! Great how to videos guys thank you!

What a great video. I was sold on a holster of similar craftsmanship from another leather worker but now I want to buy something from this guy! Very well done by everyone involved.

I love that he made these videos. Just found this and immediately ordered one. Quality + Transparency = Rarity.

I love watching true craftsmen expertly applying their trade. He makes it look so easy.

Your carpet cutting method works fantastic.

I never thought this skill would be within reach. I am completely in love with craft rather it’s carpentry, sewing or this. I’m sold. I’ll be doing this within the next year.

That was fascinating. A work of art.

Great video! I love learning about how craftsmen do their work. Thank you!

Just ordered my McDaniel II from him today. I could talk to him for hours!

Love watching Sam work. Thanks Hank!

His voice, personality, and work ethic are all perfect!!

Wow this man is a legend, cant wait to buy some of his holsters

Dude these by far are the best how to leather holster videos out there. I can't help but think of Sean Connery when he talks lol. great videos man, I'm subscribing now

This man was born for this

I love his holsters. I've carried a MacDaniel II for almost 20 years now and other than getting darker from time and oils, it still looks great. When I tell people it's 20 years old they just can't believe it.

Amazing work. He’s a master.

This man is a true master craftsman and I need one of these holsters. Along with him narrating my life.

Incredible craftsmanship!

Wow that was cool to see all that goes into custom leather work. I just ordered a Monarch shoulder rig and yes Sam is a very nice guy to talk with. Of course I mentioned the Hank Strange KZread Channel so Sam knows his name is getting out there. I was surprised when Sam gave me around a 2 week window for the turn around time as I was prepared for 4-6 weeks, that's awesome. This video really showcases the attention to detail and it makes me feel very good about my purchase. I can't wait to get my shoulder rig. Thanks Hank and thanks Sam.

Awesome American Craftsmanship! Outstanding video as always Hank!

I really enjoy how it's made videos. This guy is a great craftsman.

I imagine Sam's shop has a magnificent, wonderful leather fragrance. To Hank and Sam, thank you, both of you, for sharing.

Mr. Andrews is truly a master craftsman. His products are second to no one. 👍👍

What great work you do, attention to detail. I used to have this great knife that my grandfather carried during fighting in the pacific, in had this sheath and belt that was so heavy duty you could almost use it for a weapon. The belt and sheath was probally made in the early 40's and no idea when the knife was made, but I remember when I was young my Grandmother would show it to me, the whole rig was heavy duty. This was probally made in New York State or Vermont, never knew my grandfather so I have no history on the gear. Thanks

Funny with all of the gun videos out there, of all the You Tube vids I watch every week this series with Sam Andrews and his holsters are by far the most entertaining and interesting. I have been looking for a good holster maker for some time and then I just happened on these videos and found a great one. Thanks again, Hank, for doing this series.

I'll bet he does the best Sean Connery impression.

I love this video. Nothing feels quite like a good leather holster. Especially when it bonds to your firearm after time sweat.

Andrews Leather are the only videos I watch from Hank Strange but I love them.

I made the drive to St. Augustine and had the pleasure of meeting Sam (and Ann.. my apologies if I have that wrong). Ordered 2 holsters and can't wait.. but am patient as I know they are worth it. Will be glad to drive right back down to St. Augustine to pick them up when they are ready. Thank you again! - Tracy

What a nice guy he is - and a craftsman at the top level.

that guys voice is epic. He should voice civil war documentaries!

Wonderful to see that craftsman at work thank you Hank.

I'm thinking my next holster will be a MacDaniel II for my commanders. Super video, Hank. Thanks for taking the time to film and get it out there for us to enjoy. Great looking leather.

A master... I could watch this all day... thx for the great vid

Grade A workmanship. Good job!!

Leather is so much nicer than Kydex. Great video Hank!

An idiot can cut and heat form Kydex. Kydex is actually a PVC based material. PVC has a very poor thermal expansion and contraction coefficient. PVC conduit has been known to tear apart #12 gauge steel electrical boxes when the temperature drops a mere 40 or 50 degrees. Imagine trying to draw your gun from a Kydex holster that was set up for good retention when it was 95 degrees out, and now it's 3 degrees! I have damn near tore my pants off trying to extricate a gun from a Kydex POS holster when it was -6 out. Kydex also tears your gun up. Kydex is a great material for people with limited skills, and few tools. It's okay, and it's fine for plastic mass produced guns, but I would NEVER put a Colt Python or a Wildey Hunter in Kydex.

I agree and disagree with the popular opinion. I like leather holsters I have a galco jackass for my glock just for when I want to be fancy or depending on what I'm wearing. I also have a gcode incog. I either carry appendix with the mag caddy or at about 4oclock without the mag caddy for obvious reasons. I prefer kydex for the purpose its rigid and I dont have to worry about temperature changing it as I live in florida so we don't get hot to cold fast. Leather will eventually loosen and can be caught in the trigger guard if you aren't paying attention. Saw a dude get a round in his ass cheek cuz his leather collapsed on him. I love both but if I had to pick I'd go with kydex for rigidness.

There are other holster makers on KZread, but none can compare with the look of these finished products. Having just purchased a S&W 380 EZ, I will order one tomorrow.

Inside the waist band holster for semi-auto center-fire pistols. Love it.

Greatest thing about this guy is he picks up his own phone. I'm looking for a Springfield TRP rig so i called to ask some questions and clearly was talking to Sam. I like that kind of interaction. Will be sending a money order soon and officially placing my order

incredible video..... Sam is a true craftsman..... Best quality leather holsters on the planet

Excellent video ... I've owned several of Sam's holsters and they're top notch.

What a great video. Great info, this guys a true leatherman.

Thank you Hank and Sam, I am sure that your viewership dictates what type of video to make, but this and the other Andrews Leather video was enlightening, and helps illustrate you get what you pay for. I honestly saw that shoulder rig for the glock, suppressor, and 4 mags, and really haven't stopped thinking about it for months now. I hope that rig is in a movie like one from Michael Mann. I want to save for one!

I ordered mine in may. I cant wait to get it. now I know why the wait time. wow. so excited.

what a great video!. what an expert in his field, an inspiration to watch!

I'll have learned more about leather work on this channel than any other some really excellent tips

Very informative, but also, this gentleman has a voice for radio. I don't know whether he's ever worked in the radio business, but he has the pipes.

Excellent video. I just stumbled over this channel and I'm pretty impressed of the craftsmanship and the superb products. I lift my hat for both of you Gentlemen. Greetings from Germany. ✌🏻

Great vid! His holsters are amazing.

These Sam Andrews videos are starting to become like therapy for me. I'm very content right now.

That was EXCELLENT!!!

Not Only does this Sam Andrews speak english perfectly, he is a true artist in this time of cheap chinese production of most products. Very impressive ! I love my shoulder rig he made its a work of art to me. I'm about to order some more from him soon. I hope he passes his art on to his son or others someday to carry on his work in the future (as this video may.) The knowlege and artistry he has gathered takes decades I'm sure.

Pretty amazing. Old world craftsman.

Fantastic work

Love a craftsman at work.

He needs to be in radio!

thank you for seeking such quality of craft and character. youve made me a fan of Sam Andrews. thank you Hank!

thanks for another lesson Sam and Hank

Just got mine the other day and I have to say this is the finest iwb holster I’ve ever used! Quality is 5 star! Love the detail, quality, feel, and durability. I’ll definitely be ordering another 😃👍🏻 thank your Mr Andrews!

Great Video! It is also really cool that Sam made all the lead character’s holsters and leather goods for the New Magnificent Seven Movie!

Sam Andrews man I love watching how you make these I will be looking you up in the future for a holster love your saddle style holsters.

I am glad that you’re showing us your technique on two different holsters. It makes it easier to understand. I have to admit I enjoy watching your videos over and over. Please let me know what where you get your aluminum moulds again, thank you.

At $115 bucks, these are too expensive for me, but I'll tell ya, if I hot the lottery, I'm ordering. And really, this guy has the voice of a superhero!
