Making a "Magnetic Leather" Retention 1911 Cross Draw Holster ASMR Leathercraft

  • A deceptively simple basketweave leather 1911 cross draw holster with multiple adjustable retention devices. The surprise hidden feature? The toe plug includes a stack of powerful neodymium magnets. This one took a bit of engineering. I tried my best to match the dye color to that of the grips. As usual, the inside is fully lined with milled veg tan. When used with the thumb break strap, no metal comes into contact on the inside.
    All leather and the concho are from Tandy Leather.
    Stamps used:
    Craftool X500S basketweave
    Barry King - #2 Barker / Veiner Stamp
    My laser is a Creality CR Falcon 10W

    Your holsters belong in a Modern Art museum, not locked away in some rich guy's gun safe. Every video I see you post shows your amazing craftsmanship and attention to fine detail. Using neodymium magnets for a failure-proof hidden retention mechanism is brilliant.

    I stumbled across this video just surfing the You Tube site. I was an LEO for over 30 years and never saw a holster so well made. Incredible craftsmanship. It looks like mums the word on who you are and if you make holsters on request. That’s too bad you could have quite a business going with the resultant backlog. Really nice looking product.

    I am new to this but I am so impressed with the work that you do. I come from a very high end remodeling contractor background so I respect and appreciate high end quality. Your stuff is pure art. I'm 70 years old and just starting to learn this craft, mostly because I'm left handed and my holster choices are slim add to that I don't like boring. I love the white wedding combo. I'm in Texas, you're in Texas ( I'm not stalking) but if I knew where you were I would follow you home just to learn from you. Your work is so far above anything else I have seen to try to learn from on UA-cam. Please do more. I'm not sucking up but your stuff is so inspiring. I love the vinegar and steel wool thing, who knew?

    I've been working with laser cutting my leather, I'll have to try wetting the leather. I've started using an air assist on my diode laser and find that it cuts much easier and cleaner, I believe it's because the smoke is blown away and doesn't refract the laser. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
