- In this leathercraft video I make a 1911 holster with extensive laser engraving/etching. The inside is fully lined with milled veg tan. The leather is from Tandy. The laser is a Creality Falcon-2 22W

Brother I really admire your work. You do an awesome job. Thank you
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
id definitely wear this holster if it was left handed this is awesome
I need to get me one of these lasers! Another excellent looking holster!
Masterful use of the gel antique and paint! Looks amazing
Technology ain't always bad. That is cool as ice.
Beautiful work as always. Thank you for sharing! Walter
Always love to see one of your videos! Great work!
Awesome 👍👍 I have a 5" 1911 with a red Dot site wow I will have to keep wishing 😊
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful. Great work.
Beautiful work as always!
Fantástico trabajo ! Una obra de arte!!
AWESOME!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HOLSTER.
Thanks!
Just love your work !
Gorgeous holster
That’s a beauty. Thanks for posting. I dyed my shotgun scabbard yesterday with Eco Flo/wool pad (first time using it). I believe it may be too thick straight from the bottle, today I’ll experiment with evening the finish out. 🫤
That is some beautiful work
It’s beautiful, I’m sure it will be worn with pride!
Magnífico seus vídeos. Acima da perfeição.
Man that turned out beautifully... 👍🏽👍🏽
Badass!! I’d love to have you make me a holster and gun belt.
Love your work guy! This is Heather K Flanders 'Leather by Heather' I have a long way to go to do this kind of work. Wise there was someone close by to teach.... Blessings to you my friend.
Wicked awesome!
Stunning
Thank you! 😊
Good lord that gorgeous! It should be against the law to NOT open carry with that rig!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
Very nice work 👏
Beautiful work, atb John
I see I’m not the only one who uses their finger as a glue spreader.
I don't have to dig around in a drawer or search my table for my fingers. Thanks for subscribing!
Saludos muy buen trabajo 👍👍👍
Nice Chuy’s t-shirt.
Awesome work. Also, I seem to be the only one that noticed the Chuy’s Juan Solo shirt lol
Good eye! My favorite Tex-Mex restaurant
@@RoadAgentLeather Love it! The nearest one to me (I’m in Florida) is 40 miles away lol
Wheeweee. Talk about a nice looking holster!
I can't wait for your next video.
Also I would like to request you make a cowboy style holster and belt. When you get enough time.
NOW THAT IS WAY COOL !!!! Especially since 1911 platforms are my favorite.
Where can I get one just like that ??
Ricky from IBM
Super work! I use a laser also on my holsters. What program do you do your design with?
As usual perfect but would be hard to get a full grip
Top shelf, outstanding, over the top. Can I say more?
The best one yet ! Always enjoy watching your videos , would you lazer a project I'm working on if I mailed it to you by chance ?
class
Very impressive. Only been with this channel for a little bit but all your videos, outstanding
Lindo, show 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👊🇧🇷
Are you cleaning the ash/soot with water and oiling it after the leather dries?
You do amazing work. Thanks for sharing. Just curious, do you sell your patterns? There is no link, so I suspect not. Anyway, nice work, thanks again for sharing.
I really love the possibilities that are endless with the laser. I do have a question though on if it dries out the leather too much. When you do an engraving like in this video does it not burn the leather then crack out when you manipulate late it later?
I'm not the video maker. But I'm sure you could figure out how to oil the leather to make it last about 20 years or longer. Think about it.
@@minerblue9641 yeah I’m sure there is a way. I am also into holster production and have dabbled with heat stamping. In order to get a good enough transfer it tends to burn the leather to a point that it becomes incredibly fragile. I’m just curious of how he’s keeps it from cracking out.
@@minerblue9641 also you are burning the leather not just heating it up. Burnt leather doesn’t just heal like live skin would. It is now damaged and looses its playability. I can’t imagine that even simply oiling it would bring enough life back to the burnt areas. Think about it.
How can I order one of these amazing holsters?
Love your work. I have 1 question every time I see you dye your leather how do you prevent from leaving streak marks on your leather?
He cuts a lot of his dye with alcohol. It thins out the dye and makes it go on more evenly
I am also in The Great State of Texas. How do I go about ordering an item from you Sir?
👍👍👍
How do you resolved the problem with engrave on leather? I lose this dark effect, and engrave become white, instead of being stay black?
This is what UA-cam was created for!
Do you sell patterns at all?
Can you make an Arkansas styled holster like this? For SA Garrison 1911 45
I’m a subscriber and I have appreciated your skill and your channel for some time. Having said that; an imperfect hand carved piece is a thing of beauty and skill. A laser engraved anything is as interesting as cold McDonalds hamburger.
I have to agree. Love RAL's work but not the laser. I build guitars and have shied away from CNC's, lasers etc. because of a certain kind of detachment I have with that kind of work.
😊👏🏻👌🏻
Is there any reason you hand sew the holster, other than it might be too thick for your machine??
I usually saddle stitch the main seam by hand for maximum strength and durability.
Would you be willing to do a video regarding what laser you use and how you have it setup?
Hi. Check out the video I posted before this one!
@@RoadAgentLeather Tokonole then dye the edge? How?
@@RoadAgentLeather You sure did - I'm so sorry I missed it. Thanks, I'll check it out!
@@burkhardt7372 Thats because he is using edgekote which is more of an acrylic paint then a dye, so you can slick, burnish and seal the edges and put on a nice coat of edgekote and it will stick.
did you just use water and a sponge to clean it after engraving?
yep. There will be soot built up around the etching. Especially when going this deep into the leather. I find the air assist increases this. I just use water to wipe it off. You can also run it under a faucet.
Hey, I’m really like what are you doing? You make coasters for can you make holsters for Glocks?
Can i order
I still struggle with using a laser engraver instead of hand work. You absolutely are a talented individual. I
just think it takes away from the hand made aspect of the craft
Once I saw the laser engraving this video got a whole lot less cool
Thanks for watching anyway!
It's beautiful but it's not fair you have an engraver to the work LOL
It's not crafting if a computer does all of it for you
What if you're the one crafting what the computer does?
I miss the music, as always a beautiful project and great finishing technique, and the lack of music didn't stop me from watching the whole video thanks again.
As a business I guess can understand using modern tech but personally, nah. There's no soul in the finished product at all.
My thoughts are that both technically and artistically, there's as much skill required to design and implement a piece like this as anything else. It's definitely not a "push-button, output leatherwork" thing ... although I may edit the videos to appear that way ;-).
@@RoadAgentLeather While I knew it wasn't "push button", I never fully understood the amount of time it took to get a decent looking file to (in my case) print. I spent hours(!) designing a crankbait fishing lure for my 3D printer. Thankfully it worked like I wanted when I was done!
just a high tech version of cheap Mexican border town leather goods
Please make an identical copy so we can see how to do it properly.
This is cool as shit, now I want one for my pdp😩🫡
