Making Doc Holliday's Shoulder Holster & CrossDraw Rig from 1993's "Tombstone"
Part 2 Here: • Making Doc Holliday / ...
My take on the gun leather props worn by actor Val Kilmer (as gunslinger Doc Holliday) in 1993's "Tombstone". A truly great western film. This is called the "Huckleberry Rig" in some circles. This will be a two part episode. The first is the cross draw holster and cartridge belt used in the epic showdown between Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo. The second part will be the shoulder holster. Make sure to turn on notifications so you don't miss part 2!
Stamps used on the holster:
Craftool N300
Craftool S864 & Z-S705 (used in combination because I didn't have quite the right size seeder)
Пікірлер: 235
No one can ever play Doc Holliday again. Val Kilmer has made that role his own.
I just wrapped on a movie where Tombstone was filmed (Mescal Movie Set). Tombstone IS an epic movie! You did the rig justice. Love your work.
Beyond the smell, I love the sound of new saddle leather. There's something about the creaking I find soothing.
Beautiful work. I don't think most people understand the skill, time and patience it takes to make something that beautiful.
You sir are true artist. I have always wished that I were more prone to being able to make things with my own hands. I would give anything to be able to put together a rig as beautiful as you did. I am so jealous of your talent but I am glad that people like you are around that can build things as beautiful.
my cousin dennis yoder in hamburg pa was a pro holster maker. he wanted to teach me but it was not for me. he passed away about 15yrs ago. great guy.
Truly a lost art
Man I could never do this. What a gift and talent.
You Sir do incredible work! Watching your videos is interesting, intriguing, calming, relaxing, entertaining and nostalgic. My family actually had a leatherworks establishment than operated during the height of the Old West era; all it took to kill it was the Great Depression. I hope to someday, perhaps in retirement, scrape up some money to build myself a small shop and in some small way resurrect it. In the meantime however I will more than likely be contacting you for a holster or two or three or five for my open carry. Thank you for sharing yout incredible talent and beautifully representing our culture and history.
Thanks for doing such good work and showing the little tricks so that others can apprentice from you on our own schedule…. I recently sat down to figure out how much custom leatherwork I needed done (pistol rigs, shoulder holsters, rifle scabbards, a few knife and tool sheaths, gym bag, camelbak, carry on…) and realized that I needed to get back into leatherwork and make them myself, probably needed another retirement hobby anyway, so thanks for the pointers and demonstrations.
Outstanding!!!! Johnny Ringo hasn't a chance in hell against a rig like that! Can't wait to see the next video.
It was such a treat to see this rig being made! You did splendidly!
Bad Ass!! I'm a woodworker in tenon and mortise and have a real appreciation for the old crafts. Also Tombstone is a favorite. Fury is a good WWII with a nice shoulder rig for 1917 revolver, still available commercially for 1911 or M9. Looking forward to your Doc Holliday shoulder rig build..
Gorgeous work. Doesn't get any better.
Beautifully done, sir. Been thinking about making a cross draw rig for a while, so thank you for this.
Fine piece of work especially the banding idea. Looking forward to the (upper) cross draw rig
You are correct sir, it is a great movie.
Just came accross this. Now my new favorite channel.
I am in awe sir. I wish I could afford one of your creations for a 4.5"
As below, it’s a treat to see a real craftsman at work:) Bravo
