I asked this guy to make one of these rigs he said he doesn't make single action pistol holsters WTF

Has anyone else noticed that Sam does not, or very rarely uses filler words when he speaks? Very precise and extraordinarily concise. A True wordsmith and artist in every sense of the word.

Sam is a gracious and humble man. I was blessed enough to spend more than a year learning the craft from Sam in his shop. Stopped into his old shop in Alachua Fl to buy a holster and was totally mesmerized by his process. He graciously ask me if I wanted to build a holster with his help. I jumped on the opportunity. That 1 holster turned into many more and I was able to learn with him over my shoulder. It’s a knowledge of a craft that I will have with my for the rest of my life and I owe all of that to Sam.

He’s the Bob Ross of leather. So peaceful to watch.

What beautiful, highly skilled work. I am so grateful that the interviewer/presenter allowed the artisan and his work to speak for themselves, rather than being intrusive.

This guy is a genuine craftsman and an outstanding teacher. Plus, he makes it look SO EASY !!

Thanks for sharing your craft. If Mike Rowe ever gives up narrating EVERYTHING, Sam should get the gig.

"Not coming back toward myself" Good tip!!

To all you urban cowboys who want to make your own, forget about it, without that stitching machine you are wasting time and dreaming. Mr. Andrews is a true craftsman.

The Bob Ross of leather.

I could sit all day watching him work. Amazing talent! He gives me the impression that he has been a teacher or instructor. He has that kind of voice :-)

Hofsan1 Hell, he has such a great voice he could make a killing as a voice actor.

Absolute artistry! Sam sounds like a wise sage or wizard - could listen to him talk all day!

Thank you very much for showing us how to work with your hands, and not being afraid someone will steal your secretes. I'm 84 years old and I really enjoyed it.

Not many secretes when cutting leather.

Sam is like the Bob Ross of holster making ... I could watch and listen to him for days!

I’ve spoken to this gentleman on the phone several times when I ordered a holster from him. Not only does he make beautiful holsters but I swear I could listen to him read a good book for hours.

This man's voice is a legend of the west

super helpful. Im a beginner leather worker and this helped me a lot. I tried to make a holster similar to this with no stencils and this video showed me some things I did wrong and others I need to work on. Thank you

I want to listen to a western audiobook with Tom narrating!

A truly pro quality voice.

That is the mark of a TRUE CRAFTSMAN, you NOT ONLY explain how to do things BUT WHY you do things!!

Mr. Andrews is not only an excellent craftsman. He is also a very nice gentleman. Over the years, I have many of his holsters and every one of them have stood the test of time and look and perform as good today as when I first aquired them. I would strongly recommend his work to anybody wishing to process the finest leather goods to be had anywhere.

Sam Andrews the Man, the Skill and Talent, the Quality, Attention to detail....The Legend in the final product. Excellent presentation a Southern Gentleman who takes pride in his work. Love this videos.

Sam is an authentic craftsman!!

He makes it look so effortless! What an amazing craftsman!

Sam's a true craftsman! Great video Hank

wish it was longer video! beautiful work

very comprehensive. I culd make an average holster after this video.......Mission accomplished, on your part. Thanks partner

Sam Andrews is awesome. Gotta love his colourfull narrative throughout this piece. He has cool tricks with the tools as well.

he have a really calming voice and would love to have such a lovely holster

Awesome craftmanship! I kinda want to see a blooper reel of Mr. Andrews‘. That „Really?“ moment when the rain started was just gold.

I absolutely love excellent craftsmanship and pride in one's work and the humility on top of that just can't get any better, it's just not possible imho 😮

Sam is what the world needs more of - expert craftsmen willing to share their lifetime of developed skills with the world. We need less techies and more craftsmen in our world. Old traditions and old skills like cobbling, leather work, etc are going by the wayside. Long-live Sam

Is anyone gonna mention how amazing this guys voice is????????

I find it amazing that the brief western history has captured our interests for so long. Beautiful work.

Amazing how much work goes into a beautiful belt rig like that. So many little details that go into this that you would never even consider! That gentleman is a true craftsman! Thanks for sharing this.

I love to watch a master of the craft. This man is a master of the lather craft.

I'm 79 and retired so i used my old welding jacket to make a holster for my colt peacemaker airgun revolver came out nice

It is satisfying to watch a master at work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining in a manner that others can understand

Hybrid saddle style for a glock 35. Always wanted one of these, hope to be able to afford one soon. Sam does really exceptional work.

Unbelievable workmanship. That’s a work of art.

Would love to win! I'd pick a holster for my old-school SW model 59

Beautiful piece of art, thanks Sam Andrews for everything.

8t was my pleasure to work with you, you guys were great!!!

This man should read bed time stories or tell us he’s beveling happy trees

Even though it's bad weather outside at time of filming Sam makes it seem like it's bright and sunny out. One talented dude he's definitely helped me make mine thanks for bringing it to everyone. Mr strange🤘you rock

Wow! I now truly appreciate how much work goes into a leather cowboy rig. Very impressive!

This man drinks fine bourbon, and fancy cigars and tells story's of his time as Mi6 or story's of home on the range. Elegant and proper

Sam ain't not joke I'd love to know what Sam has forgot. Thanks Hank & Lola for videoing this series and sharing it absolutely awesome videos

Incredible workmanship! I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Kudos to your knowledge, experience and attention to detail. Thanks again

Very cool! Thank you for showing everyone how the holsters are made. Real craftsmanship!

I Had to sell both my OM (old) model Vaqueros when I became a single parent raising four kids.I used to get sick to my stomach thinking about it. They were the only guns I really missed! Years later I finally got another first year production (1993) Vaquero (old Model) -7-1/2" barrel. I would love a rig for that!!

Beautiful, Thanks Hank for sharing this with us! Well worth the time it takes to watch.

Thank you I hear that alot.

Thanks to Hank and Sam, the how it's made videos has got me into leather craft. I've been incorporating all of the tips and tricks that Sam has shown. I'd be elated if I would get a saddle style holster in elephant skin for a G43.

Well done, sir. 😊👍🏻 It is so good to see good old fashioned workmanship where products are really built to last. I am sure many of those well-built holsters will become family heirlooms that won’t be any worse for wear in a couple decades when taken care of properly.

Probably the most beautiful set I've ever seen.... The work there shown there is simply awesome..

This guy is like the Bob Ross of leather. Amazing.

I got in to makeing holsters because I couldn't find what I wanted I spent many ours researching before I made my first one .i could have just watched this video and saved alot of time .you sir are a true craftsman great job.

Did he make the belt he is wearing?😊 WHAT A PROFESSIONAL! AND A VOICE!!!❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

How is this guy not making a killing as a narrator? His voice was made for it.

I was getting ready to say about the same thing...

A Master at work is a joy to behold. Just beginning to understand all I have to learn, Thank you

I saw Sam Andrews again at a local Orlando gun show within the last month. He had made two units for me in the late 1980s . The first rig was for my Colt Series 70 Wilson modified .45 acp. This rig has a canted holster, a belt and two magazine holders fitted to the belt. The second rig is a shoulder holster setup for a Beretta 92. Both units have bottom tensioners that help to retain the firearms in the holster. The quality is impeccable some 30 + years later. I keep both holster rigs treated regularly with a moderate amount of Lexol and they look fantastic !

That is a beautiful piece of work! It's awesome to see a true artisan at work.

I love watching this guy! A true master of the craft!!!

WOW , SUCH SKILL AND SUCH SHARP KNIVES.

He stitched 30oz of hide! Madman? Maestro? Both! Sam made me a Monarch rig back in 2015. Still love it today.

This leather craftsman is amazing, so precise and well done!! His products are well worth the investment. Props to you!! I am impressed. I would love to have the space and equipment to do this. I am doing my own holsters from scratch and HAND stitching. A lot of work but will last a lifetime plus!!

Nice work!!! That sticher is an amazing old piece of tooling!!!

I do enjoy this gentleman's voice. And this video is absolutely fascinating.

A cognac croc monarch rig for a full size 1911 or glock 34 would be amazing!

I do enjoy seeing Sam at work, an artist!

The Andrew videos are great! My best friend has several of them and the quality is the best. I would love to have a MacDaniel II for my Ruger SR 9.

I was looking your wonderful job, but the strength of your hands and fingers make it an Art. Thank you for the quality of the video.

Wow ! This was an amazing video. This was basically a step by step on how to build your own holster... not to may out there with SO much detail. Thank you. And, I’d like to add the Mr. Sam Andrews should probably narrate a western audio book.

Mr. Anderson, you are a true master. Your work is amazing. Your skill is awesome. Your videos are wonderful. I'm a southpaw, and most of my guns are not what's in vogue, so often my selection of holsters is poor. Generally, my budget is also, so I've only really looked at mass produced holsters. I decided to watch some KZread videos, to see the practicality of learning some leathercraft, and possibly making my own. If I never build one, my time invested will be well worth while, just for having chanced upon your videos. You are a true craftsman, and it has impressed me that you would be so benevolent as to share so much of your knowledge with the public. Thank you so much. You will always be the first name I would recommend in a custom holster, and when I am ready to commission a holster, I'll be calling.

Woo hoo! Another Andrews video! So excited. I would love to have a McDaniel 2 for a glock 19.

This man needs to start doing audiobooks with his voice.

I can just imagine first thing in the morning walking in and taking a deep breath to start the day! I get that with my motorcycles and construction shop. I learned so much here and I don't even work leather.

Fantastic, what a professional guy with a wonderful attitude.

I like the way he uses his index finger to help control the cutting.

I think this man is Bob Ross's brother who went into leather working and mastered his craft as well as Bob mastered Painting!

Thank you for sharing these videos, I have learned new skills & could literally watch over & over. Sam is an outstanding craftsman.

I have a Ruger GP100 .22LR 6" barrel that I Absolutely LOVE! Been dreaming of a holster rig for it. Mr. Sam makes Amazing holsters, I just can't afford one at the moment.

Beautiful work ! .. its enjoyable to watch a master craftsman at his work, thank you for sharing this video.

Those holsters are indeed a work of art! I have a couple of revolvers from my late father, a S&W Pre-Model 15 .38 Special (1957) was an ex-police revolver...beautiful bluing, but with some holster wear. I'd love to have a classy holster for that one. The other revolver is Colt New Frontier Scout .22 in the original box with an extra .22 mag cylinder. My father had picked it up at an auction shortly before be passed, it would also be a great candidate for one of your holsters. Thanks Sam for sharing your art with the rest of us!

What a great man, artist enjoyed watching him

Fantastic work Mr Andrews! Thanks Hank for the great coverage!

I could watch Sam work for hrs, thanks for the great video.

I would love a wild bunch style holster for a full size 1911!! I hope your roof doesn't leak!!!

Love the Andrew videos ! 357 redhawk 4" barrel 8 shot with a Smooth cylinder, Saddle style

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I don't make holsters but I learned some great leathercrafting tech tips that can be applied to any work. And that voice and manner of speech?! All day long. :)

That "wrestling an octopus" line earned you a like

Even if I don’t win I hope to have one of his holsters .

The process is very interesting, but what is more interesting is the fact that he us USING TOOLS to do stuff abd isn't wearing safety glasses!

Love how you cut your thick leather . I will be trying this method makes good sense.

Beautiful work, a real pleasure to watch.

One for my glock 17 or my Ruger super Blackhawk with scope would be amazing. Let the master choose the style and holster for me and I wilł wear it everyday with pride..keep up the great work the both of you.

That voice is epic....would take what ever classes he taught.... great video
