Making a Colt SAA leather belt and holster rig (Extended Edit)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- You asked, so we made it happen. We'll be making up a few small batches of these SAA cowboy leather gun belt and holster rigs that will be available for purchase. But again, they'll be very small batches. We're talking 5- 7 at a time. So if you want one make sure you sign up.
*We're not currently taking custom orders*
For now, we're only offering holsters that will fit 1873 single action army guns and similar models. And for the gun belts, we're offering ammo loops in .22lr, .38spl/.357 mag and .45 colt. Down the road we'll add more models, barrel lengths, calibers and styles. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Great job I am 73. I’m going to start leather work. I started doing upholstery at the age of 14 and now I’m ready to start doing some leather work. I am really impressed with your Detail and quality. I just hope I can be a little bit as good as you are. Thank you for your video.
Being left handed myself, Iwas very happy to someone else working this way.
We gotta stick together;)
I'm a leather worker for about 15 years, do a lot of custom knife sheaths and small ammo holders I'm air rifle oriented so I've done quite a few cheek guards also
To keep the belt on your waist, the rough or "nappy" texture provides friction helping to keep the belt from sliding up when you draw your pistols.
Great stuff! I actually got into leatherwork and made my first project, a gun belt, by watching a combination of your videos and Sam Andrews, and it turned out great. Glad you guys take the time to do videos like this, because it's led me onto several other projects and a hobby/trade I truly love.
Something I pick up from Sam Andrews is putting some scrap carpet down when using the sawing action that way you can keep the leather flat on the table.. It works great especially when cutting thicker leather
This is the most helpful video on SAA rig so far. Thanks!
Great gun fighter rig.
That said I would have added a 4oz liner to the holster so you have smooth leather inside an out. Traditional rigs were made from a single piece of leather. but our modern reproductions are all lined. Beautiful work none the less.
The best and most functional belt and holster design I've ever seen. I will definitely apply this experience. Thank you very much to the master. Show me your work.
Excellent work. I like how you thought through some of the steps and tried some things I haven't seen others do. I learned a ton here! Thanks for the extended cut video.
Thanks so much Jim. The feedback means a lot
@@whitandpark I'm 15 and starting to get somewhat decent at leatherwork and I want to do western goods like holsters, chaps, and stuff of that nature. I want to try my hand at the gunbelt in this video where can I buy the pattern? if you can show me where once I get it done ill send you some pictures. it will take a while though to stitch because I don't have a machine. thank you for your time and have a good day.
Great to see you back Parker, hope you and the family are all well,
Nice! You've given me some ideas! Thanks!
Hey...Personally I prefer the long video version as I enjoy the process and you (the maker's) comments! Thanks, Mike... (like the hat too) ';-)
As soon as you said Hank Strange. I could Hear Andrews soothing manly voice.. love them videos his work is amazing
They’re so awesome
I'd like that style holster in a cross draw design for my colt peacekeeper. 357 with a 6" barrel. 👍🇺🇸
you sew well nice and straight
On the machine, the traction stone should be as close to the knife as possible. Then the traction will improve and the skin will be removed smoothly.Good job . Thank you, it was very interesting. Greetings from Dagestan Russia.
Handsome belt and holster. thanks for sharing.
He's back. Great to see your happy face again!
Haha thanks Jared!
Lost a lot of weight. Lookin good. I did the same thing, it was easy.
WOW THAT’S BEAUTIFUL WORKMEN SHIP JUST BEAUTIFUL AMAZING you have the skills to pay the bills
Beautiful.
PS. You do really nice work
I have made several leather holsters in my lifetime. I would never make one where the trigger is so exposed as is shown in your photos. A branch or stick could easily engage the trigger. Maybe it would be an advantage in a fast draw competition but I want my triggers covered. A tip for shooters who use commercial holsters. The snaps will wear on the bluing inside. Save worn out leather wallets and cut and glue on a piece of the thin leather to cover the snap. I used to save my mother's leather pocketbooks to make my holsters. I don't think ladies carry them as much anymore but they were like gold. I even used the locks and straps.
Um, on a single action six shooter twigs can pull the trigger all day unless you walk around with the hammer cocked?
@@stephengagliano3831 True but sometimes the hammer itself can be pulled back and cocked and not noticed. With age, hearing often fades and sounds go unnoticed. I prefer not to have anything exposed. Also, some of my guns are double action on first pull of the trigger and single action after. No safety.
Very nice, some lucky cowboys getting a quality rig
Always exciting to see another video from you! Awesome to see the whole process step by step 👍 Very informative, and of course, as always, amazing work!! You continue to be an inspiration! Hope to see more videos soon!
Awesome music in the background
nice new workshop and tools
Great job...reminds me of my leather tooling days...
great artisan....so nice!!!!!thanks for all.....
Bet the customer would like the tie-downs to be dyed; I would. Otherwise a good design and great video! Subbed
I love it. One day I want to make me my own holster. It's crazy how the prices of everything has just gone through the roof
Especially in buy leather.
I cut my patterns out the same way. I've found it helpful to place a door stopping weight on the leather and have it overhang my workbench when cutting.
Awesome tip:) Thanks
Thank you for sharing your trade and skill.
Gorgeous set! I’d love one for my 22lr ruger wrangler!
I like using an old Stanley knife for cutting holster leather! Gives me more control and it goes all the way through!
Glad you are back!!! I have missed your videos!!!
Amazing materials for legendary creations! thank for your tutorials/videos from Italy!
glad you like them, thank you so much!
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing
Great job! 😁💯💢👍🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀
Whoa Baby!! huh ? No !! Duh ! My lightbulb upstairs 'bout to fall out. Better tighten it up. Am lovin' this. About as good it gets.!! Dam Boy yous got what it takes. Love to have a holster of yours.. Well, all I can say is good luck , very best to you with that talent. Over & Out !!
Use multiple layers of Saran Wrap over your revolver mold that will give a little room depending on number of layer of wrap
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing. I hope you're considering making these holsters for models with a 7.5" barrel. If so, I will definitely order one. Cheers!
Plain Janner!! You did an excellent job!!! I really enjoy your videos.
Great video Parker and the gun belt looks amazing!
Thanks so much Paul!
@@whitandpark Hey, it looks like you have been working out since your last video? Very Trim. Well done.
Nice job. I guess it is all in what you train with, I am far more comfortable with my clicker knife than a stencil knife. Thanks for the video.
The only success I've had with the fuzzy bits, is to sand it with rough, then fine grit. The rough gets rid of the big bits, the fine almost burnishes it. Holster and belt came out great!
Thanks Rob! You'll notice, that's what I did. I used 80 on the wheel and then finished it with 320. Usually that works, but the leather was too loose, all the sanding in the world would only make it worse.
@@whitandpark I did see you smooth the edges with it, to good effect. I use it on the flesh side too, it gets most of the really bad bits down, but rather not use the fluffy bits unless I have to.
Gorgeous piece.
Thank you!
Absolument excellent 👌
Nicely done!
Very nice!
I been making cartridge belts with no lining or anything behind the loops. Ive seen many examples from the 1800s that were just plain jane like i do....from Sears and such
soy aficionado y hobby....me gusta las manualidades y artesanias mi edad es de 70 años
I really like the way you looped the leather to hold in the bullets. I'm making a plague doctor costume and I have small viles, and I've been trying to find ways to add them to a belt. I think I might try this method
Excellent work sir, hope to see ya at Disneyland sometime in the future again
hey Mike! I hope so man, would be cool to chat again
I like it. Looks great.
Your videos are great and nice job with the holster.
Thanks so much Andy, more to come:)
Hello from France. This is really a very nice job
Thank you Raphael!
Beautiful
Not a 5 minute video but man its worth every moment to watch a true craftsman at work....amazing just don't cover how awesome this holster came out and the attention to detail is mind blowing....thanks for the video....Christ I want one but ya would have to kill w cows to make one for my ass.. lol
Nice Job!
Very nice!
Great video. Thanks.
looks like a duke john wayne rig
középre rajzolod! ügyes pazarlás
Nice job!
Thanks Samuel!
good video, I prefer to line my holsters
Chow muito lindo um artista parabéns!!!!!!
Nice, brother! 😁
Just a thought: Instead of using rivets to fasten the bullet loops, maybe use snaps, so you could swap out different caliber loops on one belt.
I found using the curved blade from under the the leather wrks best for me. Try it
I ENJOYED YOUR VEDIOE
This is a masterpiece of leatherwork. May I have patterns for this holster?
You might flip your curved knife around but hey I get it whatever works, I know I use tools different.
use a turkey pan they work really good
Это шикарно!
burn the edge to remove the fibers
You need a edge of stitching around the belt. Get a scroll saw
Absolutely beautiful. So interesting and mesmerizing watching you work your art. I am getting into cowboy fast draw competition and am wondering if you make holsters that meet their specifications?
That is stunning !!!!
Well done brother .
I have a question - maybe a stupid question…
But what is the purpose of the large piece of leather that is stitched to Holster . ( the flap over part ).
I was thinking of just trimming mine down to just a belt loop and carry “ Slim Jim “ style .
Do you know what I mean ??
Just need to know before I do that , does that flap serve a purpose ??
Thanks so much !!
Hey neighbor, I was wondering if you have seen Sam's stuff on the hank strange channel, you should try his carpet and sawing technique for cutting out holsters. Looks easy enough. Great video as always.
Think he got his cutting method there, sans the carpet
Need the carpet Sam uses. I am starting to hear a lot of comments baby leather crafters about Sam on Hank Stranger' channel. I was ch all of those leather videos.t

Похожи..
Такие же бородатые как и у нас🤔🤣.
👍
love it
Thanks dude!
Awesome work as always, Parker! Quick question about your strap cutter that I'm sure you get all of the time; which one do you use? I have a strap cutter, but thus far it is the only tool I have that I don't look forward to using. Thanks for your consideration, and again, beautiful work!
So normally when I burnish I do as you do and use just water (less is more). When I run into "the fuzzies", I'll use something else that will bind them down like gum trag or tokonole, although I'm typically not that fancy and grab the gum trag. It tacks it just ever so slightly enough to make them stay down. I learned that when I wanted to slick down the flesh side for whatever reason because water just doesn't do the job long term. The only issue I have is you have to be very careful to only get it on the edges. It can reek havoc on staining and oiling if you get it on the surface.
It seems the holster belt is rather wide and if sitting on a saddle creates problem other than that everything else has been meticulously crafted.
2.5" - 3" is the most common in western gun belts
Astounding work! What do you suggest for a couple Colts, 1851 & 1861 as far as a holster. I’m sure they were carried outside the military. Thank you
Excelente 👍👍
Also 38" jeans don't equal a 38" waist
need to get them clicked out
Yeah i'll be getting dies made for this pattern soon. First I need to get a 20 ton press;)
@@whitandpark I work with Legendary Costume Works here in California, and they have a lot of the dies and have the actual clicking farmed out, you may want to go that route at first
are you not supposed to add another thiner leather on the inside of the holster so the gun dont scratch on the rought side of the thicker leather ?
What a gr8 job sir. May I commission u for some projects?
Sooo good, man! Question for you, you said you add about 6 inches to the belt for proper fit. Is that just for these gun holster belts or do you use that extra 6 inches for making a regular belt as well?
Excellent job as always, Parker! What machine were you using to sew with?
Beautiful work, I've noticed that you don't use welts in your holsters. Is there a specific reason or just one less step to worry about?
Where can I get that punch! I want one for my own projects, if you are willing to share....THANK YOU! I have a .45, (1871 open top) nust need to make the belt now as I have finishe the holster already...
Very good work. At 26:00 of the video you have the design (template) of the decoration??? Thank you....
for a smaller gun, could you use 8-9oz leather for the holster?
Great simple holster. What glue do you use?
Thanx 4the video..Question_i want to "sew" vehicle trim, like leather seats in a car & on my motor bike seat as well as my own motor bike leather jackets (what type of sewing machine should i buy that will do many of these jobs ? _thanx in advance) from Australia_Ozy Ozy Ozy...Oy oy oy'ee
