Making a "Magnetic Leather" Retention 1911 Cross Draw Holster ASMR Leathercraft

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A deceptively simple basketweave leather 1911 cross draw holster with multiple adjustable retention devices. The surprise hidden feature? The toe plug includes a stack of powerful neodymium magnets. This one took a bit of engineering. I tried my best to match the dye color to that of the grips. As usual, the inside is fully lined with milled veg tan. When used with the thumb break strap, no metal comes into contact on the inside.
All leather and the concho are from Tandy Leather.
Stamps used:
Craftool X500S basketweave
Barry King - #2 Barker / Veiner Stamp

    Your holsters belong in a Modern Art museum, not locked away in some rich guy's gun safe. Every video I see you post shows your amazing craftsmanship and attention to fine detail. Using neodymium magnets for a failure-proof hidden retention mechanism is brilliant.

    I am new to this but I am so impressed with the work that you do. I come from a very high end remodeling contractor background so I respect and appreciate high end quality. Your stuff is pure art. I'm 70 years old and just starting to learn this craft, mostly because I'm left handed and my holster choices are slim add to that I don't like boring. I love the white wedding combo. I'm in Texas, you're in Texas ( I'm not stalking) but if I knew where you were I would follow you home just to learn from you. Your work is so far above anything else I have seen to try to learn from on KZread. Please do more. I'm not sucking up but your stuff is so inspiring. I love the vinegar and steel wool thing, who knew?

    Really enjoying watching your videos, most excellent craftsmanship. I happened to see the scrap tile that you use for weight and other things, has an Arizona Tile label, interesting company history. An Arizona company, the owner/founder is John Huarte. 1964 Heisman trophy winner. I coached his son back in the 90's in Tempe AZ. Not sure why I thought it relevant to Leatherworking, but good to know I suppose.

It looks like mums the word on who you are and if you make holsters on request. That’s too bad you could have quite a business going with the resultant backlog. Really nice looking product.

I've started using an air assist on my diode laser and find that it cuts much easier and cleaner, I believe it's because the smoke is blown away and doesn't refract the laser. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
