Every time I begin to think I might know a good bit about leather working, I come across someone who just blows me out of the water. This is ( to me) the most fascinating leather dying I have seen. Thank you soooooo much for your video.

Great techniques

Brother I've been watching your craft for years. Even being a leathercrafter myself, your work blows me away. That was the most perfect spot of hide to get the side wrinkles in the dye like you did! Amazing work friend!!!!-Jathan

Thanks! You're obviously experienced enough to know THAT is the key: Not every piece of the hide will wrinkle like that. It takes careful study to identify which section to use.

Came out beautiful.

What a great holster for one of my favorite pistols! The pistol isn't mine, mind you, I just really like that particular firearm.

Nice work as always. 😃😃

Very relaxing and motivating to watch and fantastic work👍🏽

Excelent, a beautiful pice of art!!!

Nice video!! 1 suggestion: I learned that when using ox-pho... to blacken hardware before installing it. I blacked the same type of copper rivet on a stock cheek riser I made. I blackened the rivet as an after thought, and when I did that a bit of the blue-ing leeched into the surrounding leather. Now there's a blue-ish stain on the surrounding leather. Its looks a little odd, and not a natural way for the leather to discolor. If its blackened before, then that issue is eliminated. - That's a beautiful holster, as always.

I've done that too. If you watch my previous weathering effects video from 2019 I used Birchwood Casey's Super Blue to corrode a cup of nickel spots.

You continue to impress me with your leather crafting skills!

Thanks! It's looking like leatherwork IS my retirement plan!

I definitely like the retention strap on this holster. And not gonna lie, you're definitely more skilled than I am, which makes me wonder, WHY ARE YOU SO BAD WITH RIVETS? I suggest a ball-peen hammer and learning how to peen rivets properly. It might take a couple of minutes longer, especially when compared to the machine rivets you use in other videos, but the results are so much prettier.

Oh wow. LMFAO. Absolutely gorgeous.

Luar Biasa Keren Banget🎉🎉❤❤

Awesome video and amazing holster. That said, just found your channel while searching for a leather-working answer. I have a black leather hat that I am trying to age, so it turns to a more grayish hue. Is there a safe way I can accelerate that without ruining the leather?

Hello. Excellent work, as always. I wanted to ask you. You did not coat the product with a protective agent. Will paint or antique not stain clothes?

@RoadAgentLeather

Thanks for watching! I haven't had that issue with the antique paste. Additionally, the un-dyed liner material is what is coming in contact with the wearer's clothing on the inside surface.

💯👍

You do fantastic work! I am going to be making a holster for a friend of mine and try your technique. What machine and what type/size thread are you using? what type oil are you adding to the pot (?) at 08:08? I have the Cowboy 4500

Thanks! It's a Cobra Class 26 running #207 bonded nylon. I use regular sewing machine oil in the thread oiler. I do this pretty much any time I'm sewing through glued leather (which is 90% of the time)

What oz of leather did you us on this project? Some great techniques, now to weather the gun to match.

Typically I'm using 8-9 oz veg-tan leather purchased from Tandy.

I was wondering what you do with all of your craft work? Do you sell it, give it, or keep em?

How can I order a holster? I Etsy and messaged you. Thanks a bunch 😊

It turned out really great 👍 👍👍👍. One question. I know you were showing how to age the leather, and you put charcoal on the stitching. Why not just use gray thread. I'm not questioning your method. I'm just asking

@RoadAgentLeather

Жыл бұрын

To me, it just looks a little more natural to add the grim to the thread afterwards. It also adds the effect to the leather immediately adjacent to the stitch line

@RoadAgentLeather kool. Your work is top-notch

It would have looked even better with the lining also being weathered. Looks a bit too new. Maybe covering a mock sixgun in heavy dark grease, holstering it a couple dozen times, then trying to clean it? 😀 (Or more seriously, weathering the lining leather to look old and grease/dirt-stained before sewing).

When you are darkening the edges and splashing the dye, is it the same color as the base dye or did you darken it a little more?

OLD Leather Smith here, you do Beautiful work. I have some suggestions, this I use in my shop so I know they work, a BLUSH BRUSH 4 making it look older, U use a machine and hand stitch why not all hand stitch then it would truly be HAND MADE charcoal works better on copper Rivets. I am guessing it's not 4 quick draw because then you would harden the back leather. Suggestions only. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

what kind and thickness of leather should I get to make two holsters? Also any good cheap websites for these?

Olá que máquina vc esta usando na costura?

I was wondering what oz. Leather do you generally use on your holster projects .

@RoadAgentLeather

11 ай бұрын

if it's going to be lined, I use 7-8 oz for the shell. 2-3 oz milled veg-tan for the liner. If not, 9-10 oz.

Do you put a final finish on this holster or just the Neatsfoot oil at 5:00? What thicknesses of leather for holster and liner?

@RoadAgentLeather

no finish for this piece. The shell is 7-8 oz veg-tan. The liner 2-3 oz milled veg-tan.
