Somewhere around 3:29 you are starting out, and after crossing the threads you say,. "And take a needle," appearing to point a needle below the starting point, but then it jumps. At that jump it then shows you have already gone up to the second holes. Never does show where "take a needle" gets you. Or why.

Well, at long last, I may have learned what "Ghostwood" is ............ I think .... Gavin, I have watched no less than a half dozen videos on Buscadero holsters and drop belts to accompany them, and yours is the 1st one that made sense to me. And I have to say, other than possibly Don Gonzeles, your drop belt has one of the strongest looking construction steps from outset to end, that I have seen in a KZbin in some time. Keep 'em comin' and I will watch 'em ALL! [Even with the high-volume banjo pickin's in the background!!]

What's the weight equivalent to 3/16-1/4"? Also I'm checking out veg hide on Amazon because it's convenient and has every other material Im in need of. Should I trust the samples I'm finding on their? So far it looks like what I need. But I'm also considered going to my local leather shop to support them. I'm starting as a hobby building hybrid holsters for myself and family. So it doesn't need folded. I'm using it for the backing surface. I'm considering going all out by using thinner leather to bind to the Kydex I'm using. Thanks in advanced.

Nice job, but the trigger guard leather is superfluous. Its wanted on the lever, for padding forceful manipulation. Anyone operating that lever as intended, as in beating a rented mule, with their finger IN the guard is asking to drive the trigger THROUGH that finger.... no thanks.

Just a note, when I did my leather work in the 60 - 70's for small stuff like you showed on the lever arm. I used to lightly dampen the leather so it moulded and fit a bit tighter and was easer to form.

Wow, this was a great tutorial and filled in (No pun intended) the blanks on the alignment of the basketweave patterns. Question though - in watching your videos, you typically oil (Neatsfoot) the leather, but do you do that before or after tooling/stamping? I see in one instance applying it after the liner, but was wondering if there is a difference when tooling? Thanks
@HellhoundLeatherCo7 ай бұрын
Thanks for asking - if you're going to tool or carve a pattern, you typically want to oil or condition your leather after the tooling is complete. This is because the oil will soften the fibers and your stamp pattern or tooling will not come out as crisp. The general rule of thumb is (in our shop anyhow): 1. use whatever pattern to cut the leather. 2. if you are going to tool, stamp or carve, do that next. Dunk your leather in water and let it case. Once the water is evenly spread through the fibers and it doesn't look "wet" but feels cool to the touch and when bent holds its shape (I always say its ready when it kinda feels like clay) its ready to tool. 3. After tooling or stamping is complete, let it dry completely (24 hours, usually) Then you would move on with the rest of construction...lining if desired, oiling, dye, stitching etc Hope that helps!

Love these videos, seems like you pick up something new each time. Topic of your tools of the trade question - What is the glue bottle you are using? It looks like glass and maybe a replaceable brush. I haven't had any luck finding something like it yet. It has become obvious the small containers don't have the capacity to do holster liners and cans aren't easy to use either.
@HellhoundLeatherCo7 ай бұрын
Thank you! We love these glue bottles - so its a great question. I started out, years ago, with the "glue pot" that you can pick up at Weaver or Tandy and I didn't craft enough (still just a hobby) and my glue would dry out before I could use it all. I've since moved back to the larger glue pot, but the glass bottles are a really great middle ground. And you're right, the little containers really don't hold enough and the big cans are a disaster to use. We originally got our glass glue bottles from Maker Supply, but they've been out of stock for a long time now. Rocky Mountain has something very similar in stock - the lid is plastic instead of metal, but the brush is replaceable which is great. You can find them here: www.rmleathersupply.com/products/glue-pot-container-with-brush?variant=44101961027 Sometimes I will see the same style of bottle on Amazon, but thats a little hit-and-miss. We're thinking of distributing soon and if we do we'll definitely be carrying these bottles. Good luck! Hope the bottle helps!
