Love these videos

[@laneice100]

This is the exact video I was looking for! My grandpa is a long time leather worker. He gave me the interest in it long ago. I’d like to get some of my own tools, do you have any recommendations where to buy tools from? Needles, stamps, bevelers etc

[@johnduffant9694]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it was very well done. I was wondering if you sell patterns, I have an 1858 uberti SS revolver it has an 8 inch barrel. Thanks

[@tomvawter4531]

Great video and tricks of the trade. Excellent content and leatherwork!

[@lorenray9479]

[@phishtacosfishingandstuff2677]

Is there a video showing how to make the pattern?

[@FortnersFrontierLeather]

Their are plenty of videos on youtube on how to make holster patterns, but i will be sure to make one as well! 😁

[@FortnersFrontierLeather]

@PhishTacos Fishing and Stuff You can now get the pattern here. www.etsy.com/listing/938857040/1851-colt-navy-holster-printable-pdf

[@justinzimmerman6650]

I don't have a .44, but I want to make a holster for a friend. It is a gift so I can not borrow the pistol to trace easilly- any idea on dimensions? Or a pattern?

[@FortnersFrontierLeather]

You might could check out the book, "How to Make Holsters" by Al Stohlman. I will be making a pattern making video, as soon as i catch up on orders.

[@drunkenirishmstr]

Went to the Etsy link and nothing is there. Any idea where I can get the template

[@tomflip2078]

Where can we get the stincel?

[@randygardner5202]

How can I get this pattern

[@deadhorse3389]

What is the size of leather I am going to need when I buy your pattern?

[@ModernFrontiersman]

8 to 9 oz

[@FNNIGGA445]

How much would you charge for something like this if it was a cross draw? I'm in the market for a cross draw for my 51 navy.

[@ModernFrontiersman]

$65

[@kylewayne3]

Is your printable pattern still available? I couldn’t find it on your Etsy site.

[@FortnersFrontierLeather]

i took it down. people kept complaining for some reason thinkn they were gonna get an actual holster instead of the pattern. lol i may try to get them back up.

[@kylewayne3]

@@FortnersFrontierLeather That’s a shame people can’t read! Well if you ever put it back up for sale I will buy a pattern from you.

[@davidhomen6204]

This is not how you do this, and that is. Junk leather that is used for girth strapping for saddles. It is not the proper thickness for holsters.
