Beautiful job. I’m sure Clint Eastwood would be proud of this project. You may want to look at Weaver Leather in Ohio, USA for buckles. I use Weaver quite often.
Try Straight Line Collectables for the buckle. Nice work!

So how difficult would it be to adapt this holster to a Ruger GP 100 with a 6" barrel? love your stuff that you do and how you break everything down.

Thanks for your comment. Not too difficult, I tried a Colt Python with a 6” barrel and that fitted quite well as standard.

what do you mean by ? "closed up all the stitches"
@londonjacks83715 ай бұрын
If when the leather is still damp you run over the stitches with a glass slicker or similar smooth hard object it will compress the leather around the thread and close up the hole that the needle made.

Have you thought about asking the company that made the rig if they would share the Design of belt buckle or show to a tin Smith 🤔 they can copy brass buckles i believe
@londonjacks837110 ай бұрын
Replica buckles can be made based on the original, but the cost is high for the casting molds to be made, and the production run minimums at the foundry.

Metal lined holsters are made specifically for Fast Draw so it’s important to know whether it has a metal lining before you buy one.

Id say you need to make the taper down to 1 1/2” on a 3” wide belt, 1 inch is to small. Good luck with your project!

@londonjacks8371 Жыл бұрын
I’m in England so use leather made here in the traditional way since 1840, it works very well for these holsters, Herman Oak and Wicket & Craig in the US produce good quality leathers but not so easy to get over here.
Do all gun rigs have to be made with a specific design
@londonjacks8371 Жыл бұрын
It depends what it will be used for, fast draw, SASS, CAS, reenactment use etc all would have different specific requirements as to the design, and the firearm needs to be a good functional fit, other than that the choice of decoration and embellishment is unlimited.

Just curious for your opinion…. Aluminum instead of steel… lighter… your opinion?!
@londonjacks8371 Жыл бұрын
You could probably use aluminium, it would need to bit a thicker, maybe 1.5- 2mm to have a similar rigidity, particularly on the “wings”, I don’t thick the weight savings would make much of a difference overall. The pattern would need to be enlarged slightly to take account of the extra metal thickness.

@williamgrissom1995 Жыл бұрын
For those that are trying to make this themselves. You gotta give extra in measurements for material thickness and stitching room. Personally, if you got the money to do it, buy it made to order from him. It will save you a ton of issues just in sewing it alone. Saddle stitching it all would work great, but it isn't easy. Most folks don't have the leather sewing machine or the the really cool hole punching machine for the saddle sewing he showed. Yes it can all be done without his equipment. But it won't be great unless you are a long time leather worker, who has practiced the technique needed to do it all by hand. I might be able to do what he did without the specialized tools. But it would take me a year most likely to get it that perfectly if I didn't have to redo anything to fix a mistake. As an experienced crafts worker in various materials and crafts, I can say he made this look much easier that it is by far. He didn't show the repeated increases in size he had to do to make it so the gun actually fits into the holster. The material thickness makes a huge difference in the basic working pattern. That means if you followed his markings around the gun and thought you got this, then you will be very disappointed in your work, because it will come out several sizes to small. People this is not plug in play craft. This requires a serious craftsman to make it right. You can choose someone like me that will take forever to make it right, if I don't make any mistakes. Or you can hire the man who like the guy you just saw make one. I'm smart enough to see the needs that wasn't shown. But I'm not expert enough to copy the process, especially without the tools he had at hand. I wish I could have one of those the holsters made for me. But the darker and smoother versions. But I can't even afford the gun. ☺️ Great videos and even better work. I saw and understood it all as I saw it, being a leather fan. But your skill is way beyond mine, and I dont want to waste the leather trying until I got it right. 🤣
