Making an Eastwood Leather Cowboy Fast Draw Holster and Belt

[@whitandpark]

Tried out a new filming/editing format with this project. A little faster paced and some voiceover commentary. I'm hoping that it's more helpful in general and answers a lot of the questions that I usually get. My end goal is to be as valuable and helpful to you all as possible so let me know if this is working!

[@MSPriss-vi7ld]

Really nice! In both the video and the quick draw rig😃

[@whitandpark]

Thanks Ms. priss!

[@jeffshearer5125]

Looks good from my house

Stock & Barrel Co yes love the voice over keep that up

[@colejacob4673]

Loving this style. Keep it up!

[@Mitche2424]

Leather and guns, it doesn't get much better than this.

[@rayskinner5274]

This is my primary goal in leather work! Such a western film fan that I finished gunsmithing schooling, now want to get the leatherwork down. In the end I plan to sell custom rigs & old west firearms!

[@marknoble843]

I just watched your two quick draw videos back to back. The second one is far superior thank you. I'm about to make one and I'm gonna copy yours.

[@blaine1124]

I’m getting ready to make a western cross draw holster and cartridge belt. This video was very informative! I love watching your videos before I start any project!!! Thank you for all the inspiration!!!!

[@whitandpark]

Right on Blaine! Good luck with it. Would love to see how it turns out. And thank you watching:)

[@blaine1124]

Stock & Barrel Co I’ll respond with a pic when it’s done. It’ll take me a bit. I don’t have a sewing machine I have to hand stitch but I’m pretty excited to make this. My first holster.

[@janine7815]

From the first time I was able to watch your video about what tools to buy first for starting leather crafts - I never stopped working on my leather projects and in making my work better and better. Your such an inspiration!

[@nephicus339]

I love watching people work when they're damn good at what they do.

[@tobyknows3021]

PLS PLS PLS keep doing this style of video going foward. The explaining what your doing/ how your doing it and what you’re using to do is super entertaining and SUPER helpful for people just starting out in leather. (I started bcuz of your amazing channel)

[@whitandpark]

Done! ;) And thank you so much!

[@formam1022]

My dad did leather hokster making for years before his arthritis got to him, he would have clasp on his holsters so you could have multiple belt styles or shoulder rigs so 1 holster but many ways to wear them

[@emirjanranara3477]

i wasnt really into leather work back then. but when i saw your channel, i was mesmerized by it and now i really appreciate it. the amount of craftsmanship it takes to create leather work like how you do is unparalleled. cheers to you and your family! much love from the philippines 😄🇵🇭

[@hacksaw434]

Nice rig. I like how the bullet loops is an overlay.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

James Coil I thought that was weird, since the belt is two layers, he could have just done the same thing in the outer layer of the belt, glued it to the liner and called it done..... not sure which method I prefer, would need to see one of each next to each other and try both on......

[@wesleyash7023]

I got into leather work because of you and I'm 14 I've already made over 650 dollars in 8 months

I've never had any intrest in working with leather.... But this was so interesting I had to watch it all !

[@jamesbuchanan3439]

Refined editing/high-speed sequences make your channel seem even 10 times more professional!! Bravo!! (And, as always, the leather work is great too!!)

[@whitandpark]

Man thank you so much! That really means a lot

[@CherokeeFlutist59]

a belt like that with a cross draw holster would look so good! I love the look of the tapered ends! 🤠

[@JoeMastrolonardo]

Great job, I'm making a holster. I make a lot of them myself for different people, if they want them. I bet you did a fantastic job. Especially the burnishing in the sewing

[@mikegrossberg8624]

It must be wonderful to have an entire professional leather shop to work in! I've been doing leatherwork as a hobby for 50 some odd years, using only hand tools, and buying my leather as I needed it, rather than having large stocks of it. I've made gunbelts and holsters(I made a western-style rig, including fake cartridges, for a steampunked Nerf gun) and, as both a medieval AND black powder recreator, sword scabbards, knife sheaths, axe/tomahawk holders, shooting bags, quivers, many different types of pouches and belt/shoulder bags, bracers, jackware, and even leather armor!

[@mikegrossberg8624]

I know: the preceding sounds like I'm bragging. Well...I AM! :-)

[@wolfsden3812]

It's not even remotely fair for someone to have this much talent.....sweet sweet belt

[@tetontom1]

.... more please. L handed and shoot western.... Have worked leather professionally for many years and can offer a tip or two if it works better for you. When gluing liners to any belt, use your elbow to hold the end down and stretch the liner out as much as you can when pressing the two together. Makes for a natural curve and prevents wrinkles in the liner. Another one is when cutting out curves drop the edge of your thumb down and use it to help guide your blade and keep a perpendicular cut. You be making perfect circles. Good job.... I'd wear it proudly.

[@whitandpark]

Thanks Tom!

That’s is a nice left hand holster. I love the detail and the way you show it. I’m thinking of making one like it. Thanks

[@SwordslingerCustomHolsters]

Good job! Glad to see another family ran leather business.

[@whitandpark]

Thank you! and likewise;)

[@DevOpsNerd]

Nice job. I have to cut the belt end taper first in case I screw it up. At least then it's right at the beginning. lol. I saddlestitch the whole thing...that sewing machine looks great. The sewn on loop backing is an awesome idea. Beats cutting holes in the belt itself. I'm about to start a shotgun shell belt and will use that.

[@richardhenry1969]

Beautiful job I wish I could afford something so nice. Definitely a fine craftsman. We need more of them in this messed up world

[@whitandpark]

Thanks so much!

[@RedBeardOps]

I've learned so much from your channel! Thanks for all that you do!... I've recently gotten into leather work for my knife sheaths. Talk about a whole new frontier! 😅... If you're curious about things I want to see... more knife sheaths! lol

I second that - bushcraft knife sheaths, axe masks, hatchet belt sheaths, tool rolls...

[@dwayneh1022]

I have just come across your channel and am blown away by your work. Ive see in the comments that you don't make these to sell but if you ever do, please let me know. Ive got nobody nearby who can make a decent leather holster. Keep up the great work!

[@cjacob9875]

beautiful! I love your quality of sewing being a quilter.

This is my first time to watch a custom leather holster made!! Well done 👍

Your best video yet! Love the instructive voiceover! 👌🏼

[@AB-hz4xm]

Parker, Why are you not making these holsters to sell? I would pay up for a holster like this! My Cimarron Pistolero 4.75 45 LC would look bad to the bone in this holster. beautiful!! Man, you got skills!!

[@joliski]

I really like this new video format/style.

[@whitandpark]

Thanks Joe! I'll definitely keep doing them this way. Thanks for watching!

[@isonleather9112]

Love the new editing style Parker!

[@blueduck9409]

Love the buffalo nickel. This rig would also look great in a dark oiled russet brown leather. I would have done the cartridge loops in canvas to help lessen verdigris.

[@jeremiahjlucero4888]

I never comment on KZbin but this will be this first because it’s important, I love your work and I know you are missing out on a lot of sales not selling gun belts and holsters, like one of your videos said, craftsman sell a product you can never find anywhere else...well I only came across this video looking for one because I can’t find any that are high quality online or a craftsman near by to build me a custom one. I’m stuck in having to buy somewhere else but hopefully in the future you can sell and play a big part in the gun community, anyways I love your work and I’ll support you and buy a wallet and maybe some other good I might like. Thanks again keep up the great work, never seen anyone take so much pride to explain in so much detail in their work and list literally everything to help others in this field

Hello, Well I gotta say,, this is a great video of a classic gunslinger rig! I'm a member of CFDA here in Gainesville, TX. NTSG and I'm just now getting into leather crafting. You're very thurough, and informative. Thank you for sharing your craft. I really appreciate your HOW TO videos, Y'all make some quality products Sir! Keep it up, you're a class act. Doc Hook CFDA, NTSG

[@whitandpark]

Thanks Aaron! It's great to have the approval from a CFDA member. I would love to learn more about making an official fast draw holster. It requires a lot more in the build, like including raw hide or steel for a deflector and more structure. Also, there are tricks to keeping the holster down on the belt when you draw. I don't have any of that. This is a very simple rig but it's really fun for just playing around. If you learn any tricks for official fast draw rigs i'd love to hear them. Thank you!

[@aaronmaddox7775]

@@whitandparkI know a couple of tricks for that, I'm working on getting them built. however, I lack most of the tools required, and I'm a Greenhorn when it comes to leathercrafting. I'm working on one right now, though I doubt it will have the craftsmanship, or consistency of your products! Anywho, I will keep you posted and up to date if you would like?

[@dc85337]

Just an Idea for your rig. Make sure your holster is in exactly the spot you want it - even marking location (on top of tape) and when confirmed - put a snap between the holster and the belt. It will keep holster in place and allow it to pivot. You'd be the only one with this idea.

[@coryturner476]

Hey Parker, when are you going to include the template for the gun belt and the western stitching template on your website ? Keep up the amazing work man !

[@paulevans580]

Just an idea but I line mine with pig leather. It has a good wear. It's easy to work with. It's thin and has a good hand. Give it a try. You might or might not like it.
