Thanks for watching! For better or worse, I went out on a limb and actually narrated this one!! I'm not sure I've ever posted a video that didn't have some sort of glitch (battery dies, camera settings wrong, forget a step in the build process (you know, the reason you're actually watching the video!!). Regardless, I hope my videos show you that even though you might make mistakes along the way, you can normally keep moving forward and come up with a workable final product. If you enjoyed this video, I'd love it if you'd Like & Subscribe - it really helps a lot! If you hated the video, I'd really like to know why - I truly try to please everyone and take everyone's (constructive) comments & criticisms to heart and will constantly try to improve my skills & techniques moving forward. Take care, Eric.

Narration was amazing: I learned so much more with it. Great work as always

I much prefer the narration, mostly because having to read subtitles or look at writing on the leather is a little distracting from what's going on in the video. Pausing/rewinding/scrubbing to read isn't an insurmountable problem or dealbreaker, it's just easier not to have to read while watching. Thanks for the video and feedback/criticism request, I love your videos!

Nicely done Adam. I have been an amateur and even semi-pro leatherworker for a couple decades now, but I have not done any leather work in several years now and am about to undertake making a custom hollster for my 1911, so I figured I would start scoping out ideas and tips-n-tricks... I think your video will prove helpful :) Production quality on the video was excellent. a how-to video should not be overly fancy like some of the videos out there I have watched, and sound quality for your voice over was about perfect.

Wow, I started watching this video, as I got to the end, I thought to myself, this must be a really big channel with this kind of production quality. I can't believe you only have 22k subs. Definitely subbing for more!

I cant believe a human made this. Incredible. Makes me want to get back into leather working

Beautiful. Where craft meets art.

He sure makes it look easy!

This is one hell of a craftsmanship Sir. Really appreciate your skill, dedication and passion to what you doing. Thank you.

Fantastic leather holster for a 1911 3 inch barrel Firearm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best instructional videos in general that I've seen on YT, hands down. Your command of language and verbal skill in describing each step and decision points is excellent. Thank you for taking the time to document these steps and knowledge that can be applied to any leather product, and for many hobbies for that matter.

Man that's beautiful. You are an artist. 👍

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and even your “oops”, you’re a true craftsman.

Beautiful job. And your verbal guidance is excellent.

Watching these kind of Craftmanship videos makes me so relaxed...ohh, thank you ❤

Craftsmanship is awesome. Loved the way you pointed out areas to watch to avoid mistakes.

Very nice work. I think this is my favorite design for an IWB holster. I really appreciate all the tips, because it’s extremely helpful to me. Thank you very much for sharing.

Beautiful work! Really enjoyed seeing your style and techiques.

i love your snap attachment ideas

Very nice work. Thank you for taking the time for such a detailed video.

Thank you for making this vid for free

I’ve always struggled with making good templates, that trick with the band of leather to get a good measurement is a great trick! Thanks so much

I've never seen anyone who uses metzaluna that well, until now. GREAT JOB!.

Enjoyed watching the whole process.👍

Great work. Highly talented on several levels. Well done.

Outstanding work, Bravo.

love watching your videos. you have helped me take the plunge and try making a holster for my kimber commander. thanks for sharing your knowledge for others to learn.

Very informative. Your voice was steD ND Very articulate. Easy to follow . Thank you

That was amazing. Wonderful job

Turned out awesome! I've been contesting adding holsters to my upholstery shop as little bonuses for slow times. These things are beautiful, and made me really want to incorporate one into a bike seat or something. Great video!

Love the narration! The ticks and tips are awesome! Enjoy watching the process of a product I intend to buy.

When I was learning this skill as a kid and then in my mid ‘20s we would use an antler from a deer to finish the edges before we put edge finisher on. Edge finisher was a thick substance typically a dark brown. I have not worked in leather in many many years. It was a skill I learned in high school. Ricky from IBM

We have narration! Thanks for that. Also, it's such a relief to know the pros make the same little mistakes us newbies make (Talking about the little off cut piece). Awesome and inspirational work and video. Thank you.

Thanks for watching and glad the videos have been helpful. Take the measurements, then build a quick mock-up to see how much curve you get in the top edge of your pouch, then work the opposite of that curve into your pouch design. Your double-stack mag pockets may need to be slightly pie-shaped as well, tapering inward towards the bullet end of the pocket.

That was a true pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing your skill.

Several years ago you did a video on making an Avenger holster start to finish. You made it very easy for me to follow along. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Love your attention to detail and also love that you narrated this video. I like your hints and tips that you just can't get by just watching. Please continue your narration! Thanks for showing your mistakes too. It lets me know that even someone that has made many more holsters than myself screws up a little too! haha Have you thought about incorporating some exotic leather into some of your holsters? That would make a good video. Thanks again Eric for all of your encouraging videos over the years!

I THINK THIS IS MOST BEAUTIFUL holster I ever seen, ok I am ready to be your padavan

They can be a little daunting. Just go slow and do lots of sewing on test pieces. Getting the tension set can be a pain. Sometimes I’d rather just hand sew thin stuff so I don’t have to change the tension.
