If Sam Andrews wasn't making gun holsters, he would have a leather crafting show on PBS or a DIY television network. When his leather working days end, he could definitely make money as an announcer or voice performer. He has excellent camera presence and teaching skills.

[@shojus]

Can't EVER miss a video with Sam's voice! 😂

[@ragnarragnarsson3128]

He could be a wizard in LOTR

[@shojus]

@@ragnarragnarsson3128 I'm thinking so!

[@hankstrange]

Ha Ha yeah! thanks shojus

The attention to detail Sam put into his leather work and his refusal to allow anything but the best to leave his shop, is why I continue to buy and use his gear after 30 plus years.

[@hankstrange]

I honestly don't know anyone that works as hard and is as committed to his craft as Sam Andrews, I'm really proud of him and the whole crew over at Andrews Custom Leather

[@cheatingdeathcustoms2244]

You Sir are a lucky man to be able to make so many videos and projects with Sam. He's a true gentleman, stand up guy and a true professional. Great video!

[@hankstrange]

I can't argue any part of that, its been a blessing for us to know Sam and his entire family in so many ways

[@Ultrajamz]

This dude is great! Best leather and very personable

[@hankstrange]

Thanks Ultra its always fun and rewarding for us making these videos with Sam

[@40beretta1]

Leather Craftsman... Dying bread. Wonderful Vlog

[@JSRocker1776]

Best statement I've ever heard... "The beach is for people who don't have work"

[@joseperezgonzalez7092]

The best informative video of making a belt, thank you for your time...👍🏻

[@FOGHORNNC]

Sam should do a "Master class" on leather work... he just makes it look so effortless.... but that's what make him a master craftsman... The little I've tried looks like a kid's craft kit....

[@hankstrange]

I tell him that every time we get together to do these videos, really some college or craft school out there should approach Sam to teach there...I'm honored he allows us to at least pass on his knowledge in this way...and I would say keep working on it Fog Horn you'll see in time your skills will kick up as well

[@jadedblackpill5009]

Love this content.

[@hankstrange]

Awesome we have a few more projects with Sam in the works

[@SctyGrpPowers]

I have his holsters and belts and they are absolutely top quality!!

[@hankstrange]

cool, I totally agree

[@chantelboshoff7027]

❤ Love it! Well done!

[@jdeleszekable]

Love these leather working shows

[@kingkong7617]

I ordered a car jacker holster from Andrews Custom Leather for my Glock and I love the holster. It is well made with high quality leather and heavy duty brass snaps and I wear it all the time. The way it sits, no one even knows I am carrying a weapon and I would highly reccommend anyone wanting a quality holster to purchase one from Andrews Custom Leather!

[@N98858]

Love "Absolutely Any and EVERY Sam Andrews Leather Working Video"... I have a Monarch Shoulder Rig and am looking forward to my next Holster and Experience!

[@hankstrange]

Sweet! Sam's videos are really the backbone of the channel...and we're actually looking to do more how its made videos with other craftsmen out there, so if you know of any send them our way :D

[@josemendozamoreno4930]

[@emmanuelraposo457]

This was extremely interesting loved this.

[@hankstrange]

fantastic thanks for watching Emanuel

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Sam Andrews makes the Monarch Shoulder holster and I will be getting one someday. Made for my Model 329PD. A superb craftsman.

[@vladimirlopez7840]

I can tell you that he is very nice and yes he sounds just like this on the phone you will know right away your are talking to the man himself. I have one of his holsters and they are top notch.

[@hankstrange]

agreed Vladimir Sam is amazing hardworking and is always happy to talk to folks about their orders

[@RealCujo]

Sam seems like he could read you the contents of toothpaste and you would not only be entertained, educated but remember every word he said.

[@hankstrange]

Yeah he's got a good gig waiting for him if he ever decides to give up making leather

[@hudsonshandcrafted]

I thought the same!

[@TheBossskinhead]

Forget taking out reading glasses. He has a reading guy. Life goals.

[@robv1984]

Awesome guy! Great craftsman and when he talks i’m all ear!

[@graphguy]

You have the perfect voice for being a voice actor!

[@voodoogcarlos4393]

Dual layer 11 oz and 5 oz, hand stitched took me 4 hours start to finish. Keep up with the great videos.

[@johnsmithy4419]

We love these videos!!!! Thank you

[@TacoViolator872]

Why do you not use that wonderful voice to read westerns or voice overs? Awesome

[@rickysharp4223]

Thank you for doing this video. Just subscribed to your channel today. God bless you and your family.

[@redblue40rc33]

Love for him to make an IWB holster for a Ruger security 9 9mm....website doesn't show one for that particular pistol

[@victorvanvolt8425]

I'm starting making belts to, and I hate when water slides on the body of the belt when I slick it ,like when it does in the video at 13:26 , because after I apply a finish coat of oil the spilled water just pops and doesn't look like a uniform coat. I can see that even after you buffed the strap with the denim you still have that spilled water mark. It's there a way to correct that problem, besides that I have to be more careful on how I apply water? Or I'm just warring to much about something that is normal? Ty, for the video, I've learned new things everyday so I can improve my crafting skills.

[@th.burggraf7814]

Awesome video, really enjoyed watching. 💯👍🏻 Greetings from Germany 🤙🏻

[@bobwebber8521]

How do you keep all your tools sharp?

[@bobrobinson4557]

Thank for the great content.

[@danwittmayer6539]

T.Y. for instructive video. I'd like to see a closeup as he is cutting the groove please

[@JAKesler]

Does he make holsters for pistols with a red dots?

[@andrewsleather1079]

Yes, we have made many types for red dot sights

[@MxLeatherWorks]

Great work. Thanks for your tutorial!

[@debbiraybourn3938]

It's been awhile since I made a belt how do I measure so the name is centered she has a 29 to 30 inch waste

[@MB-uq8mb]

I’ve seen every video you’ve made with Sam. He is truly a master craftsmen. Was wondering, if you’re taking suggestions, do you think you could talk him into making a “how to” video on how to use exotic skin coverings. I’ve seen his crocodile and snake skin holsters and was hoping to see how he does those. Either way, great video as always.

[@andrewsleather1079]

We did a recording for building stingray holsters. It is being edited now.

[@mario7mag]

Thanks for sharing, my dad and I love your videos. Had a question, what is the price range on a leather belt, that has the cowboy western stitch pattern on it? Size 44, 1.5 in, suede lined, medium brown.

Hello Mr.

[@appalachiangunrunner5613]

I use leather belts, I'm very very active and often find I stretch my belts and need to add holes. My father showed me a trick that his father showed him. Use a .22 casing and hammer it through, makes a perfect punch and perfect hole. How's that for Appalachian... Also, how many of y'all use them belts enough they actually stretch?

[@appalachiangunrunner5613]

I'm due for a new belt I really am gonna look these up!

[@hankstrange]

for sure I've stretched out other leather belts, I think quality of construction is a big part of that...I've had my two Andrews custom belts for about 6 years and Sam just checked them out to see how they were holding up and there were in pretty good shape, just needed some touch up on the finish around the edges

[@hankstrange]

@@appalachiangunrunner5613 cool

[@jaredbickmore2474]

How much does he charge for a belt?

Looks like they start at $85.

MY father recently purchased an entire cache of leather working tools from an estate sale. The Leathersmith was 98 when he passed and had no kin to take his tools. My father purchased them for me because he thought it'd be something I'd like to try. He was correct. I quit my fulltime position as a screenwriter and Director of Visual Development for film and TV to pursue leatherworking fulltime. It's not a hobby. It's an obsession. Here's is why I'm posting: I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why there was an old, nasty Levi pant leg in the bottom of the kit. Now I know why!! I'm glad I kept it because it works like nothing else for slicking! I imagine an olde timey Leathersmith ca 1870, using an old pair of discarded Levi mining overalls to slick the edges of a new rig for an Eastern Dandy, newly arrived in a town like Tombstone or Deadwood or Sweetwater, seeking his fortune in the new, wild Western frontier.

[@bondscalper]

Any guess as to the cost of the belt?

[@richardhatt6541]

They do make bifocals for us old guys to see small print.

[@drewbaas9073]

I still don’t know why Sam isn’t a voice actor..
