Leathercraft: Tombstone "Johnny Ringo" SAA Cowboy Action Cosplay Leather Holster Leatherworking

I'm your huckleberry! Making the "Johnny Ringo" holster and belt rig from 1993's classic "Tombstone." I love the blingy look of this rig. The combination of black leather, silver spots & conchos, and brass cartridges really pops. IMHO, this would be a good project for a novice leatherworker as the tooling is relatively simple and the holster is a straightforward Mexican loop style.

Your focus and patience is astounding

[@konadude50]

Hand stamping, hand stitching, hand finishing at its finest. Great video!

[@splatthere8939]

Beginning leather craftsman here: I'm learning many techniques just watching your vids. Thank You so much.

[@jameswood231]

Excellent work. I love how you check and re-check your mark before proceeding to the next step. Everything in excellence and in order. The mark of a true craftsman. TY for sharing your knowledge and craft.

[@markvickroy6725]

Damn man.... Never knew I could make slick leather with the Doc Holiday type shakes

[@Miki59]

Most people have no idea how complex it is to make such a holster. Commendable work. Greetings from Austria.👍

[@xBaronSamedi]

Nice, I like the trick with stitching the loops by zig zagging a single continuous line. I’ve done smaller quantities one at a time, and the thought of doing that 30+ times for a larger piece sounds miserable. Great piece, nice work.

[@devilsden2283]

Outstanding rig from an outstanding western..my favorite parts of your holster builds besides the entire vid is when you line up the slugs and install the hardware!...great work sir...👍💥🇺🇲💥

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Those are the domed rivets from Tandy. Love those things. Little more expensive, but SO much easier to use than traditional nickel spots.

[@Hisdudeness799]

It is a real joy to watch you create these beautiful works of art. Thanks for sharing.

[@joyceknepper366]

Absolutely beautiful. I’ve been waiting for almost a year for my Schofield to be made. This is my vision for the holster and gun belt for it.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks! I've been doing this as a hobby for over a decade at this point.

[@dreamwarriors979]

A bit wax on the outside of the puncher helps to go easier out of the leather! Ein a wax-block for put the stitching holes whit the awl ! Works REALLY WELL

What kind of thread do you use? It looks like unwaxed machine thread.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

In this case you're exactly right. It's #277 bonded nylon in natural color

[@TexasEdition]

@@RoadAgentLeather Thanks. I like the way it looks. Maybe I will try it. I still use tiger thread.

[@johnscarfe]

I’m curious about the cutter set you used for the corners of the gun belt? Where did you find the set of corner shapes....haven’t run across those yet, but would be interested acquiring some.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Look up "leather corner punch set" on eBay or Amazon.

[@willykanos1044]

Curious why you used white thread. Was it part of the order?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

That's what the pattern calls out for.

[@richardguajardo2393]

Wow! you do amazing work, where can I order a holster and gun belt from you and see more of your work.

[@troyreeves8775]

I’m sure you get this question all the time but how would you suggest for someone to get into leather crafting like this?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

I'd say the best way is to find a specific leather item you want to make and go about collecting all the materials you need to make just that. For me it was a holster for a Starr revolver... something no one else sold.

[@troyreeves8775]

Thank you so much for responding. You work is amazing!

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Fiebings Aussie. Not really a top coat, but it does condition the leather and add a bit of water-resistance.

[@a.p.369]

It isn't just a job. It's an artwork. Absolutely beautiful. But one question: Why don't you work with a half-moon knife? IMHO it's more convenient but everyone how he prefer;-)

[@RoadAgentLeather]

I had round (head) knife. Could never get used to it so I ended up selling it. Pushing the knife through the leather and the overall greater distance of my hand from the cutting action just felt strange to me.
