The "Wedding Rig": Silver Inlay Western Cowboy Cartridge Belt & Holster in White Leathercraft ASMR
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A part 2 to my previous video from May 2022. I knew eventually I would make a matching belt for a fancy show rig (what I've come to call the "Wedding Rig"). It starts with a brief overview of the Tandy Pro Strap Edge Beveler; a nifty tool that's probably more suited to the saddle and tack folks. Shout out to them for sending me one to try out. Leather being used is Tandy Selection grade 8-9 oz.

Now all we need are dual holsters built into the boots for the senorita pistols
The ultimate “white hat” rig.
Elvis would have loved this. It would go perfect with his white suit. For T.C.B.
"...like a Rhinestone Cowboy!" ;)
Now you need a nickel plated Colt with ivory grips. Very cool rig!

Make it a cap pistol, and it is a big seller in San Francisco, CA!
I would walk around my house wearing this everyday! Are your kidding me? So awesome!
omgoodness, what style, thank you for posting sir, you are a true craftsman and pure genius =)
Wow if you can't see that rig coming. You must be blind. Absolutely stunning. It's a wedding rig. Are you trying to tell us something? LOL 😆 🤣
Great looking! I would definitely wear that to a wedding
Another beauty!

Thanks! And even more thanks for the subscription!
I love the concept of the white gunbelt! You really amaze me with these white gunbelts and holsters! I would love to see you make a complete silver one!
I was just airbrushing some Tandy leather white with some Angelus paints last night myself. Beautiful looking belt and holster!
I've been waiting for you to make a belt. I like this video.
It is absolute Beautiful

That's gorgeous
Very nice job they look great together. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip on using milled leather. It's a genius idea. It sure would make a comfortable belt also. I would think.
Very nice job
Amazing work!
cool very cool
I'd make a mess out of all that white, that's for sure.
That looks like something they would have used in the old movie westerns, I mean like Tom Mix or Hopalong Cassidy would have worn this. Maybe Roy Rogers too. Very blingy, flashy gun rigs were a big deal in the old western serials, too. That's awful nice work.
Take my money!

thanks for watching!
Looks like it leaves a good even beveled edge. Weaver also has a tool like this. As far as doing white on leather I would never use it cause I would have red places all over it. Seems I can't do any leather work without cutting myself, LOL. 😩
That was pretty cool with the paint. I was wondering how it was going to end up white!
Exelente trabajo👍👍👍

Screw the jig to a larger board that you then clamp to the bench.

Awesome work as usual. Love watching your videos. What kind of spray bottle are you using to dampen the leather?

I only use milled veg-tan for my liners now. It's veg-tan that's been thrown in a tumbler as a last processing step. This results in a soft, almost chrome-tan feel. The primary benefit for me is that I can glue and stitch it "flat" without having to be concerned about it wrinkling when folded.

Thank you, I really appreciate your videos and the time you take to answer my questions.
You mention Tandy Selection for this project. How would you compare it to Hermann Oak as far as stamping and the burnish it gives? I like the light color of imported vegtan as it gives a more accurate stain color. It is much cheaper than HO but at what sacrifice? 8 to 9 ounce is my usual weight. Thank you once again.

It tools nicely. It's been a while since I had any Hermann Oak. I live close to Tandy so I buy all my leather there. Nothing like being able pick out hides yourself.

@@RoadAgentLeather You are right about the ability to select what you buy. I shop at the Mesquite Tx store. Very nice people there. When I am looking for leather there I’m picky and really go through the stack. When I’m finished I restack it as a courtesy.They don’t mind at all.
Really nice but some cartridges with nickel plated brass would look even better in those loops.

Depends on how much straps you're cutting. I think if you're a full-scale shop making saddle and tack all day it would be useful. It's overkill for what I do though.

So, to get the length right, you measure above the hips, around the waist, over the jeans?

Wherever you want the belt to hang, yes. I take that number and mark it as the spot for the second-tightest hole in the billet.

My main working area is two tables I made from 2x4s and plywood. So roughly 4x8 feet. I'd say you need and area that's big enough to comfortably lay out the hides you're usually working with. Mine started that way .... but now I can barely roll out a double shoulder on it.

Ha! Thanks for the subscribe! I get that a lot on this video. However, if you watch the movie, it's Buster's shirt, pants, and hat that are white. His gun rig is brown. My video "Making a Western Style Cowboy Cartridge Belt" is more of an ode to his holster and belt.
What! No rhinestones?
Not impressed with the beveler.
