Back when I was going to Mexico years ago I had the pleasure of meeting an old man that did leather work. He showed me how to do it the old way with horse hair stitching and hand inlay, he did very beautiful work, he has probably been long since passed away. I'm glad people like you are keeping leather work alive, you do beautiful work as well.

Yes my father used to take me with him to Mexico in the late 70s he would go down there to a leather shoe man that would make my father custom leather candles waraches laced. He would buy a dozen of them of all sizes. For my brother and sister's or who ever wanted to buy them here in California. You just can find that style of old leather work anymore the old man past on and maybe his sons and daughters took over the business? I haven't been there in years. The leather sandles I see they look like them but don't have the tire rubber and made in China sold in Mexico.

I can only imagine how amazing it would be to have a dad who gifted me a Colt .45 SAA, and how great for your dad to have a son willing and able to reciprocate with such a beautiful rig. No wonder you smile all the time. Thank you sir!

- Dad: WYD? - Me: watching a tutorial of something I'll probably never do in my lifetime, but is friggin' awesome

This video has really struck home in my heart. My grandfather past away several years ago and this video has caused me to track down his original 1873 Colt Peacemaker to purchase from who he willed it to. I’m now offering to purchase it from them in hopes of making a similar belt rig for the pistol. Can’t thank you enough for this video. Thank you! I’m also a leather crafter and so desperately want to make a similar rig for my grandfather’s pistol. I loved my grandpa, and it would mean the world to me to be able to give one of his treasures a proper home in the family.

Great Great Video.....I'm 63 years old and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, etc were my Heros when I was a very young child. I always admired their rigs and watching you work that leather into a rig for your Dad was amazing. Great work and Thank You for sharing with us.

Beautiful! My 15 yr old has a gun like this for civil war reenactment. We've been dabbling in leather projects. What a fun one to try. Thanks so much for the video! You do amazing work and fantastic videos.

There's just something about watching things get created that produces a calming effect. Must be double for the person doing the creating. Well done sir.

I haven't played with leather for a long time, but your video had got me thinking of projects. You are a craftsmen doing good work with your brain, skill, and modern tools. Thank you!

Wow! I'm glad I found this video. Great craftmanship, and watching you enjoying what you're doing made it that much more enjoyable to watch. I'm getting back into SAS after being out of it for quite a while and need some new gear to go around the new girth. Loved watching the expertise it takes to make this gear. Your Dad must have been excited when you gave it to him.

Looks great. I make my own personal holsters. Drooling over some of your equipment. I saddle stitch by hand, takes time. I was happy to see many of my methods were the same as yours even though I haven't done it to much

You, sir, are an artist! A true craftsman! Extremely professional workmanship!

Ive been trying to get into leather working and this is one video i decided to watch and try and learn something and you blew my mind. Amazing work!

Great video! I had the Tandy leather holster book back in 1988 when I was stationed in Korea. I made the exact same holster! I still have it too. Mine did not look as good as yours does; I only spent 5 hours making mine in the hobby shop the Army provided for us. It was my very first experience with leather works. I have made a ton of things since then. Great memories - thanks for the video.

This was so fun to watch! I've had an interest of the Wild West recently, I think you did a good job!

This is like ASMR for leatherworkers lol. Loved the video showing the process. I'm interested in making my own gunbelt but I lack a few of the tools. I wish I had such a beautiful workstation like yours! I envy you! Superb craftsmanship!

Hey, little brother! I bought that pattern about 30 years ago and since then have gone on my own and made my own patterns. I really enjoyed watching you work. You have a lot of talent!! Blessings from North Carolina

This is art, i really really enjoyed watching the video man, it was beautiful !!!!🔥🤠

Absolutely excellent content and production quality, and the leatherwork is insane.

This is the first video I've seen on your channel and I am very impressed with this belt. God has given you a very special talent and you should be very proud of it.

Wow, so much care and love was put into this peice. Very beautiful work, sir. Your father is lucky.

mate you could do it. i am working on getting myself to where i can get started gunsmithing from scratch. already done a few minor repairs but will be building my own lathe soon. self taught blacksmith, saddler and carpentry at high school I managed to teach my wood work teacher almost as much as he taught me. Quite a feat considering the quality of the work he could do. I also worked with a saddler for a few weeks who produced high quality work when i was in my early 20's and he said my skills were to far advanced for him to be able to teach me anything new however I was able to learn a few shortcuts. it would have taken him 6 months or more to teach me anything new and that would have been highly advanced stuff such as making saddles and collars for cart horses. If i can get myself to that level teaching myself most people can if they dedicate themselves :)

Great workmanship and quality materials. Really a pleasure to watch craftsmanship at work.

Just purchased my very first single action. And that is a beautiful work of art. Nice work!

I always wondered how these rigs were made. Thank you for showing us! Glad to see another couple of southpaws slinging lead.

You do really beautiful work! This is so cool to watch; thank you for posting it.

I grew up on a ranch with my grandpa's teaching me how to do leather work. I've made many things with a pocket knife and hand awl to stitch. Never had the nice tools but would love to get some and increase my skill. Great job.

I like the way you made the ammo loops, much simpler than a lot of maticulous measuring and stitching for each loop. Do you think it would be an issue using that method for loops around a longer section of the belt? I haven't made one yet, but when I do I'll use that method. I even have the same pistol, but in .357

Mate take pride in doing it by hand. The parts that wear like the buckle and tounge where they are sewn to the belt will stay attached to the belt far longer because they are hand stitched. I am an ex Jillaroo from Australia and no way in hell would I ever use stirrup leathers that were machine stitched. machine stitching ends up cutting itself

@hembrasalvaje

will also add use an awl and 2 needles, not a speedy stitcher. Speedy stitcher the way it is done has the same problem as machine stitching. with hand stitching with 2 needles the threads run side by side but machine or speedy stitcher the threads interlock and go back the other way creating a heavy wear point. This is fine for the main body of the belt but not the holster which if tight enough should be putting a little pressure on the stitches or the stitching for the buckle strap or tongue strap especially where they join the main body of the belt
