All of this came from a collector and is reproduction. I will not destroy anything that is an original piece. The holster with the frayed binding at the toe is the only original and will be repaired. Don't jump to conclusions, watch some of my other restoration videos of the WW1and WW2 holsters.

I found it interesting exposing leather to acetone to try strip out its dye and create a rougher finish on it , It could take leather from a very dark brown to a lighter red like color which i did to make the leather better suited for laser engraving experiments on it 🙂 , was leather from scrap furniture i believe.

I normally don't disagree with anything you do, but I'm afraid I will disagree with using a stitch groover. It weakens the leather and makes it susceptible to getting the belt wet inside which in turn makes it susceptible to other problems. If getting the thread below the surface is the issue, why not use a creaser which will give you a depression into which you can sew and get the thread below the surface without creating other issues. Also, recently Crimson Hides has "invented" a 2-prong instrument that will scribe a light line onto which you are able to straddle with your stitching iron and if you work carefully you are able to sink the thread below the surface by how you tighten each stitch. Nigel Armitage has a video showing how to use the tool. I highly recommend you take a look at his review. There are 7 sizes costing c. $29 US (40 lbs English) each. Although I cannot afford all of them at once, I do plan on getting all of them over time. They work with any stitching/pricking iron. Also, I don't know if you do Ranger belts, but if you do Don Gonzalez sells some acrylic Ranger templates for around $20. He also has a video showing how to make a Ranger belt, including how to measure for one (I'm sure you're aware it's different than a regular belt). I started watching you years ago and still enjoy doing so. I've learned quite a bit from watching you. And I will continue watching you for as long as you create the videos, which I hope will be for a long time to come.
