Thanks a lot! There's some inexpensive laser engravers/cutters on Amazon. Even the lower power ones can cut leather this thick. Just max the power, slow the speed, and increase the number of passes it makes.

Over the time I've been watching your videos, which has been quite a while now...I don't remember when I subbed, I've learned to visualize the final shape and watch it come together. This one, I couldn't think of how the long strap was going to be used, and then you folded it back for a belt loop. I laughed at myself over my inability to see that. Great looking holster, as always.

I notice you don't apply any type of resist before your antique paste. Is this to get a specific effect? Do you ever use a resist? Just curious because I've tried both ways, and depending on how naturally smooth the leather is I find the antique can act like a stain.
@RoadAgentLeather5 ай бұрын
What you said: It depends on the effect I'm going for. I sometimes use ProResist. Like when applying over basking weave tooling. But in this case, I was going for the "vignette" effect of a darker edge feathering into a lighter-colored body (sorta 'sunburst'). So I let the antique stain the edges and blended it into the center.
