THANK YOU. I am sick and tired of cheap nonfunctional holster cases. This video came at the right time.

OLD Leather Smith here, just found this one Chuck, Very nice job, easy pattern 4 beginners, when I make a case of any size I ALWAYS line it with sheep skin, and roll it at the bottom so nothing is going 2 come in contact with a hard surface inside or outside. I also never tie knots in over 40 years I have never had a project come apart. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

I like this video because it brings me positive energy. I only watch KZread videos that teach me something good and give me positive energy. Everything in my house with negative energy is gone. Thank you for being there

I'm attempting to make my first pancake holster for a trapper knife from scratch. As a novice leatherworker videos like these are INVALUABLE! Thanks so much, Chuck.

Tahnks buddy, love your video.😁

Bless you wee brother, love from Scotland xxx🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This was one of the videos that inspired me to get into leather working. Thanks for the great videos

Lovely. I don't think I'd have much trouble knocking something like this out but I watch you just because you brighten my day. Thanks Chuck.

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, hi Chuck, 4 us older people who don't wear a belt, I mount clips 2 the wings, holds just as well, I also ALWAYS use SHEEP WOOL in side so NO SCRATCHES on glass, I prefer chrome tan but veg tan also works, it also creates a pocket, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Chuck you are nothing but good medicine. I can be very confident in myself trying more upscale projects, I have been doing knife sheaths and holsters for a long time, I don't like cookie cutter projects ,so I try and make my knife sheaths and holsters different every time. THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR TIME

Nice job Chuck. Turned out beautifully.

Chuck nice phone holster as usual. Your stitching is right, just what I would expect from you. Best regards, Richard

I find myself liking your videos just off of your enthusiasm.

Chuck, great project, simple but a great utility project. Love the Crazy Horse leather. I took notice as you ran the awl around the pattern, you could see the lines very clearly. Beats the pen any day! Best regards, Richard…

I feel like I'm getting one on one tutoring. Thanks Chuck.

I have to say that all my work has definitely improved since I started watching your videos. Even just for simple things as on glueing and hiding knots

Glad to hear! Thank you for watching :)

I suppose the greatest thing about this kind of leather is that it looks better with age. Scuffs and scrapes give it more character.

As always super informative! Thanks Chuck!

Thanks again! Very helpful, i always learn something from Chuck.

Very nice craftsmanship. I appreciate your attention to detail.

Honestly chuck I was trying to do something like this just the other day and I couldn’t get the size quite right. Thank you for this.

Chuck your attention to detail explaing the layout design is just what I was looking for for my IPAD sleeve.

Thank you Chuck, once again you bring great positive energy to a fun project. You are truly an ambassador to the leatherworking community.

Very good instruction & well explained. Beautiful case, Thank you

Your videos are always informative and I always learn something useful. Made a case like this for my buck knife and multitool a few months back. Wish this video was out then would of save me some minor struggles.

I make mine with a flat back and molded front so it rides flat against my hip. It takes longer but the end result looks and feels good.

Thanks so much for another wonderful project and you teach leather crafting so well!

That’s a great tip for hiding the knot! I’m a novice and honestly I don’t think I would have thought of that. Would love to see an angled variant of this as I spend a lot of time sitting (wheelchair user) and I feel like that would be more comfortable

Great video! Thank you!

Chuck, you read my mind sir! Just bought a new phone and I've been mulling over ideas for making a belt case for it. This one looks to be within my skill level and it'll suit my needs. Thank you!

Thanks for the pattern Chuck. I was having a hard time figuring out my stitch lines when doing pancake knife sheaths and you just showed me the easy way to do it. I don't know why I didn't continue around the belt loops...duh

Thank you, Dan! So glad this was helpful!

Can you talk about do's and don't's in integrating common non-leather items such as fabric or clear plastic to leather? I recently made a tote bag for my wife and she asked for a fabric liner and I would've appreciated your insight. Thanks!

You're an excellent craftsman, the only thing is that not one of these cell phone cases is for me, not one...Sorry!

When are you going to do a project video on that gun belt you have hanging up behind you?

CHUCK! I was watching your holster 7 part video. I see you like the 1911's? Anyhow, now you need to does a series on making a revolver holster. Not a cowboy style but a regular carry holster. Say for a S&W 686 plus with a 4 inch barrel?

Thanks, Chuck! Another informative video. How do you feel about starting your stitching in the middle of a project and working towards the ends in two steps, to save the amount of thread you have to wrestle with?

I have no problems with that! Especially if it's a large project and almost impossible to use one piece of thread.

Chuck, is there any need to "do something" with the top outside corners? (that tiny little square bit just outside of the stitch line) I noticed you did not and just wanted to ask a pro. thanks for these vids, they are amazing.

Does the water buffalo take tooling?

16:22 ...and you know what best part it is absolutely handmade... JUST FUN!!! TNKS!

Does he have a video on his work bench??

Hi chuck, love your video series, just have one question, on the pattern material, (plastic) what do u use to draw on it, without smudging the lines, i've tried pen, pencil,

@WeaverLeatherSupply

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Daniel, I use a regular ballpoint pen on mine and I usually don't have issues. You could use a fine tip Sharpie and just make sure to let it dry before cutting out the pattern. That shouldn't smudge.

when you cut the rounds by making many cuts...wouldn't burnishing the edges of the leather also cause the curves to soften up a bit? Also with the stitching chisels...what was the purpose of the blue bands on each of them?

@Alagachak

3 жыл бұрын

I would imagine the blue tape on the chisels are there to make the size of them readily identifiable, as in distance between teeth. I got three sets and man do they get mixed up when your moving between projects and days... not to horrible, but I really should mark them...

@WeaverLeatherSupply

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Art, For the corners, I like to get them as smooth as possible with the knife and then if they are still rough just run some high grit sandpaper over them before burnishing. This will help get rid of any roughness. The chisels are marked with the colored rubber bands for size. We have 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm sizes available and each set has a different color band so you can easily identify them.

This does’t pertain to this video but I am just starting leather and have a couple of questions. Do you wet leather before using a die cutter? And Do you wet your leather before dying it?

@WeaverLeatherSupply

3 жыл бұрын

Hi there! No, I do not wet my leather for die cutting or dyeing the leather. The only time I wet my leather is if i'm carving/tooling or wet molding.

Chuck, this is off topic, but I don't know how to ask you another way. What leather thickness would you recommend for back/saw or a skew saw. I can add more information if needed.

@WeaverLeatherSupply

Hi Michelle, You could use this same concept but just leave off the tabs on the side where the belt loops through. Instead you would just need to add a clip on the back piece of the leather case.

Would it be the same for tooling leather?!

I love your videos too much. I think it’s a problem

Wish I could make one but it's just too complicated and not simple at all. Too much technical talk.

Why do you talk so much when explaining!! I absolutely do not understand! that helped to get to the point! would also be enough! Everyone has eyes in their heads! (sorry)

I guess those would be cool if you live in a gun-loving culture like the States, but in my country, anyone wearing such a ridiculous thing would surely bring some ridicule.
