Thank you

Nice job. I have a S&W .38 revolver and, with your video, I will make mi own leather holster. Thanks you.

Nice Job my friend... What did you cover it with in the end, and used on the interior of the holster?? I'm making a .44 S&W holster right now, and it's similar to the one you did.. Thanks and keep up the good work..

Thank you so much I learned it

A little oil on the edges before burnishing works wonders. Not too much though. Then you'll have to wait a day or so for the leather to absorb it.

[@GPWoodworks]

I've never tried oil for burnishing.... I'll have to give that a shot... Thanks!

Sensational job my friend. I'm looking to make one like this. I wonder if you still have the pattern?

[@PaulSter]

Good job brother!

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks!

Great video, If you don't mind me asking, Can you please tell me what model Smith & Wesson is it looks like a 686. Take care and keep them coming.

Nice video. The holster looks great and is more stable than the "plastic holster". Wish you and the family a happy new year 2020. Greetings from Germany. :-) Schönes Video. Der Holster sieht klasse aus und ist stabiler wie der "Kunststoffholster". Wünsche dir und Familie ein guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2020. Grüße aus Deutschland. :-)

Thank you Gunter... Happy New Year to you and yours as well. I have fond memories of Germany during the holiday season. I was very young then, but I remember it well... Danke Gunter ... Frohes Neues Jahr dir und auch dir. Ich habe gute Erinnerungen an Deutschland während der Ferienzeit. Ich war damals sehr jung, aber ich erinnere mich noch gut ...

I've made a few knife sheaths, so I'm not a complete novice, and I'd like to make a holster like this for an old Dan Wesson .357 mag. Should I use veg tanned leather, and if so, what weight? Yours looks a lot heavier than anything I've used in the past. Recommendations will be much appreciated.

[@GPWoodworks]

I use veg-tanned leather for holsters... I have heard from several sources (I cannot confirm) that chrome tanned leather will damage finishes on metal. For larger guns I use 5-6 or 7-9 ounce leather (depends what I have and just how heavy the guns is). I try to place the hardware so that it doesn't touch the metal... you can line the leather after applying hardware as well... some people worry quite a bit about hurting the finish... especially on collectibles. I have used 3-4 ounce leather for one of those tiny 22 cal revolvers. Test out different weights of leather for whatever you're making and decide what you like... if you trust to hold up... go with it.

@@GPWoodworks This ia a pretty heavy piece with a 6" barrel, and I have some 9oz veg tanned, so I'm going to start with that. Thanks for the insight.

What's this in my Subscribed feed? Back from the dead! This is a reupload? The number seems off.

[@GPWoodworks]

HAHA!!! It's been so long since I posted a video that I lost track of the episode numbers... AND forgot that I decided to stop numbering them. Fixed it. :)

@@GPWoodworksSomething tells me your buddy was probably OK with the holster :)
