    The next stage of Adam's Hellboy Samaritan replica build is to make an accessory...for the accessories! To showcase the handcrafted prop rounds that were recently machined, Adam turns to making a leather bandolier belt of his own design, though inspired by a licensed replica of the movie prop belt. Time to break out Adam's beautiful leatherworking toolkit and make use of a new tool: the leather strap cutter. Plus, Adam gets to weathering and tarnishing the brass shells with a tried and true aging technique!

    Hi Adam! I'm a leather worker, and specifically make strapped/belt goods. This came out great! I just wanted to give you a heads up, the strap cutter you're using is made to be pulled towards you, not pushed away. You are using it like a plow gauge, which is another strap cutter design with an exposed blade. If you were to pull the strap cutter towards you, you'd have 5-6 inches to align the uncut leather, rather than only 1 or 2. I hope that helps!

      Yup! I had mentioned this on his last video on leatherworking. This strap cutter design is pretty perfect, I've been using it in my shop for over 10 years, and know guys who have been using this design for around 30-40 years.

      @@Stevieboy7 One of my favorite parts of leatherworking is the tradition & history. I'm sure that if a better/more efficient strap cutter could be made, we would have it already. The only thing above that model is a machine, in my opinion! But it looks like Adam's method still puts out some great results, I just hope he sees this so he can work a little more ergonomically.

      OK I have to say this. These are “cartridges” or even simpler “rounds of ammunition” NOT BULLETS.
      The bullet is the projectile only. The entire round includes the projectile (properly called the bullet) and the case or casing. A real round would of course have powder and a primer but these props quite correctly don’t have these components.
      Anyway, nice work all round but the terminology error made me cringe over and over and over again.

    Hey Adam, Here a tip from a leatherworker- when punching a lot of holes like you did having it taped off, rub the surface of the tape with beeswax then commence punching. The wax will lube the punch so your not fighting it. Also you had your strap cutter set up correctly the first time you use it by pulling the cutter towards you having the handle as the guide and as you pull it it maintains contact.

    When it comes to the retention of your rounds (it's up to the user), but you don't want it to be TOO tight. You want just enough tension to hold your rounds, and enough looseness to allow you to draw the round out to reload your cylinder as fast as possible; when not using a speed loader. Granted this is a prop belt for prop rounds, but I think it adds to the appeal that this is actually Hellboy's gun belt.

    Just to help anyone curious, the easier and more common way of using that leather strap cutter is to pull it towards you through the leather instead of pushing it. He didn’t actually have the two arms mounted backwards like he corrected, he actually had the blade mounted backwards. So the measurement marks on the tool and the blade should be facing you as you pull it through the leather. It’s just a lot easier to control. I’ve been teaching leathercraft for many years and everyone should give it a try. It’s incredibly easy. Have fun everyone.

    Adam, freshly-loaded ammunition is always bright and clean, it oxidizes slowly over time. I'm a reloader, so I know this. Also, depending on the process used to make the leather, it may actually cause the brass to corrode. Vegetable-tanned leather will not do this, but chemically-tanned leather is more likely to cause it. I've been thinking about building a firing version of the Samaritan, but if you think about how much work it was to make it in aluminum, think about doing it in steel! Plus the additional requirements of rifling the barrel, making a reliable action, etc.

    He had the strap cutter correct the first time. You want to PULL the cutter along the leather with the handle on the same side as the cutting edge, not push. The flat side of the handle helps keep the cut straight. But of course we all have different ways we use our tools.

    I do leather work as a hobby, and know a lot of people that do as well. And i have never seen anyone try to push the strap cutter through the leather before. I can't imagine it's very easy. Everyone i know, myself included, has the edge facing towards the handle, and pulls the strap cutter through. I think if you try it, you will find you get a lot more control.
    I usually put my leather on the table, so its lies nice and flat, push a bit of leather through, grabs the snip of my newly cut strap, and starts to pull the cutter. I ope this makes sense and is helpful to you. English isn't my first language.
    Love your videos :)

    Adam, not nitpicking I promise. These might help you i the future get your projects done quicker/easier and with a bit more joy left at the end. Hope this helps.
    Strap cutters like this are designed for use on the pull stroke, not the push. There is also a bevel on the exit to allow for variance.
    Some wax on your tape before you cut it makes the plugs and the tool release easier.
    If you want your tooling to be nicer to hold, make a rectangle of leather, and stitch it closed with a cross stitch. It helps save SOOO much stress holding a small tool. This is a great skill for a lot of tools to make them more hand friendly.

I can always tell when a wrap was designed by someone who has installation experience, and when the designer has never touched a wrap.

I joked with the people who got me into it that I didn't want to look like a kid got ahold of steampunk Bedazzler.

    To make the first straight cut of a rough edged large piece of leather we lay the leather on the workbench, making sure only the rough edge we want to cut off overhangs the edge of the workbench. Then use the strap cutter and simply let it glide along the edge of the table wich makes the cut straight. :)
