You're videos are some of the first ones I watched when I started doing holsters and I still watch and learn from them. You don't give yourself enough credit on your skills and your ability to teach others. I want to thank you for everything I've learned from you and I greatly appreciate your commitment to helping others learn.

Hi Bill - thank you very much for the kind words. I appreciate that very much. Glad to hear you've found the videos helpful! Take care, thank you for watching and for the words of encouragement.

I’m so smart. I’ve copied all his work to make my own holster for so much cheaper than he sells on line. So far I’ve spent $1,500 for my sewing machine, $350 for materials, $40 for pencils and $75 on stitches and band aids. I’ve used 12 yards of leather and almost have a template ready. 😂😂 Great work! If you ever get a CZ OWB I’d love to order.

I just recently watched some of the newer videos with Sam Andrews and I picked up on some great techniques just watching him prepare the leather and cutting it out. He's definitely an impressive craftsmen.

Ha! Back in the early 20’s, I used to watch Norm Abrams’s on New Yankee Workshop every morning getting ready for work as well. Love your stuff. Always looks awesome. And I’m leaning some good stuff. Thank you

I really appreciate your willingness to share. I will be trying my hand at making a holster.

Very nice job! When I was growing up, my father used to tell me, if some else can do it, so can you. He was right, as usual! I’m very glad I listened. Best regards, Richard

You are a true craftsman, I'm going to attempt my own leather hoslster soon. TO. Can.🇨🇦

Impressive! I enjoyed watching you make it. Excellent work.

Great Video. Your voice is easy to listen to and no blabla. I was jealous how easy you made it look and how awesome the holster turned out. I'm off to watch some more of your vids. Keep up the great work. Andy

I couldn't help but notice how good your edges are. "Sam" talks about how you can tell a truly crafted holster is as much by the edges as anything. Well done buddy.

U R Very Very Good !! I'd say one of the best !! Beautiful Holster !! I'm a beginner & I just Love learning ALL this, especially when you have a great teacher like you !! Keep up the great work !! & I will keep watching !!

Just getting into holster making, this style of pattern making seems to alleviate a lot of headache. Great job!

Hey, I built a holster for a Luger .38 Special along your video. You are absolutely right, the glue up of the body pieces is a pain in the butt. I ended up glueing and sewing the trigger guard side first. The other side has a straight stitch line and can easily be clamped down with two smooth pieces of wood. That prevents the walking….

Made my first holster in 1978. There is nothing like a custom holster. Very good work. I subbed.

I'm preparing to make my first attempt at creating a holster. This video has been extremely informative and I really appreciate the explanation of why things were done as they were.

I thought that was an excellent video for learning how to make custom holsters. Thanks for the knowledge 👍🙏

Great job!!! One of the best videos I've seen on making a holster with this much detail. Thanks

Eric: Many others may have videos on making patterns (for holstes) but yours is the best explained. Easy to understand why a step is taken. You may not be as experienced as you wish, but your delivery, details and videos are some of the best. Even Andrews is tough to understand his methods in some of his videos. I think he forgets what it is like to be a beginner or novice. Thank you again.

I've made several molded holster in the past (almost 30 years ago, now) but I love the way you laid out the pattern! I'm just getting back into leather work. Resurrecting a 45 year old saddle that belonged to my daddy is the first order of business, making a wallet or two and some checkbook covers to hone my carving skills again (which were never great to begin with), and then designing and building the holsters that I want that no one seems to make. Thanks for the videos and the inspiration!

Thank you for your willingness to share your method. It's a beautiful piece of work.

That's a good looking holster. I would never have guessed you have little experience making revolver holsters

I really enjoyed your video, your very talented! I am also a woodworker for over 50 years and watched the New Yankee Workshop and enjoyed watching Norm since he stated back in the 70s. His first shows were the best, as he had to work with the tools he had, like us. Once he got Delta for a sponsor his whole technique changed. Instead of making the tools he had adapt to build his project, he was designing projects to demonstrate new tools for Delta!

Another great video! I have also watched hours of Yankee Workshop and I have done woodworking for 30 years. And you are right you don’t always need expensive equipment to get the job done. And the “right” way to do something is often up to the person doing it.

Awesome explanation of instruction for making a pancake holster. I can't wait to start another project.

Thank you Jonathon! I appreciate it, and thank you for watching! Let me know how your pattern comes out. I've used it twice now and was pleased with the results both times.

Well......You asked for suggestions! I am interested in a right-handed cross draw OWB pancake that can handle the weight of a 4" barrel S$W L frame in 44 call. The problem I see with this type of inclined holster, besides the weight of the L frame, is distributing the weight evenly while keeping the grips tight against the left abdomen and out of the way, without having the barrel sticking out the back obtrusively. I live in brushy bear country and don't need anything protruding. My right-hand side needs to remain clear of obstructions in order to do chores. Neither do I want that much iron in the small of my back in case I take a tumble. I need quick access to the piece and tight holding tension as I work, while maintaining maximum body mobility. It seems that a wide pancake might do the trick. Tried a shoulder rig that was miserable to wear, and a chest rig is cumbersome and out of the question. Would you suggest friction alone, or in combo with a thumb-brake or some type of barrel tensioner? Haven't seen a production rig yet that will do all of that with reasonable comfort. So, there it is. -Thankx........🐴

Thanks Jim! If it wasn't for the awesome work Jason Ingle and Sam Andrews produce with that method, I'd probably still be using the old 1/2 slide thickness plus one thickness of leather equals stitch offset. Used that for many years, but this leather strip measurement method is more accurate, and so far, the lines have been nearly perfect on the first try every time.

I like that pattern. Going to try and tackle that for my s&w model 10-9 .38 spl

Always so much effort in your videos and your work. Really enjoyed that build and looking forward to the next one

@@AdamsLeatherWorks Well I finally pulled the trigger! Pun intended. You have the style of holster I prefer and even Galco doesnt make it in the Sheild size. The amount of detail you put into your holsters both on the inside and out is what did it finally. I am usually a all black everything, all the time type of guy. But the dark brown with black accent treatment you did on this holster made me go that way. I totally get the side hustle thing. That's awesome that you take the time to make videos while you are trying to make room for everything else. Thanks again for putting out awesome videos of you making your high quality products!
