Awesome work!.... I would like to see you make a Teddy Roosevelt holster like the Mexican loop he used as a rancher in the 1880's in the Dakota territory

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

Thanx. Will make one of those soon.

[@philwatson3646]

Very nice work!

Great job, master at a young age. I’ve been doing it for 40 + and keep it up, find a apprentice to teach it. In my old age, I’m gonna teach veterans.

Wetting!

[@axe609]

This was going to be one of my next projects.

[@JWheeler331]

What brand Wing Divider do you use? Yours seems to not move and flex as much as mine.

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

I don't know the brand, ordered a cheap one at eBay years ago, guess I was lucky.

[@rickwhetstone4687]

Nice holster. How do you move the beveler so smoothly

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

Thanx. A lot of practice and easy on the hand

[@coryturner476]

What does the dish soap do for the leather while setting the holster ? Nice work man 👍

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

It breaks the suficetension so the water penitrates the leather better

[@davidash6821]

Excellent educational video. I'm a beginner so there were a few things I didn't quite understand but nothing I can't figure out. My main question though is, where can I get that great music. Im a much better musician than I am a leathercrafter and I really liked it. Thanks.

[@rickwhetstone4687]

Do you let the holster completely dry before cutting the stitch grove

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

No. I do the stitch grove while it's moist.

[@bluemeriadoc]

single action best action

[@rickwhetstone4687]

Watched your video. I didn't see you seal the dye. What kept the soap water from removing the dye

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

I didn't seal it, the soap water want remove the dye, the dye has penetrate the leather and want come of

[@rickwhetstone4687]

When I dye and apply a sealer it takes some of the dye off. Even I let it set overnight.

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

@@rickwhetstone4687 do you buff it before you seal it?

[@warwick526]

What kind of glue do you use?

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

Its a contact cement in gel form

[@davidbratcher9822]

Do you have patterns for sale? I may have asked before so sorry if this is a repeat

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

No I don't, sorry.

[@davidbratcher9822]

Thats cool. Thank you. You're really giving me something to shoot for in my work with leather
