I literally jumped in my seat when you placed your firearm on the table pointed at Hank. PLEASE be more careful, and maybe edit that part out. Too early in the morning to give me a scare like that. Poor Hank.That being said, excellent video and content. I’ve already checked out his website for a Father’s Day wishlist (maybe Christmas if we’re dealing with Coronavirus quarantine), and have shared the video with multiple people. Really quality quarantine viewing; thanks RU-vid algorithm for pushing it my way.

@dillrepair Год назад

I love this because I know what some people see here is “I can do that, no problem”. But see I make custom canvas stuff for boats etc on the side and I thought that too when I first started. He’s happy to show you all the details because he knows damn well even with that knowledge it would take a few years to get good. I laugh every time people say they can do what I do. I tell gladly. And that’s not saying anyone shouldn’t do what i do or what he does for themselves…. Quite contrary…definitely do it yourself. It just takes a certain dedication to really become that master that most people can’t even understand till they try it themselves… and he knows and I know that there’s nothing wrong with that, we aren’t losing business in fact just creating more… because you make something for yourself and it may be slightly imperfect but it’s special to you so you keep it and use it…. Then if you did a good enough job someone else asks you to do one for them but they lowball you and you realize the lessons are just beginning

@dillrepair Год назад

TLDR: the ppl that got really good at stuff like this did so because of a drive to say they make a better product… for themselves and their own detailed sense. The honorable ones keep going on to be masters because it is themselves that they try to please with the quality first

@arklatexinfidel 8 лет назад

Hank, 5 stars once again. I have watched this one twice and probably have another turn in me. So many people are afraid to share what theyve learned to their "competition". It seems Mr. Andrews encourages the next generations of craftsmen to learn from his mistakes and he is eager to teach. Thanks to both of you.

@briritter5488 4 года назад

I have Mr. Andrews making me a Monarch Rig for my 92FS. I learned of him actually through the magazine Gun Tests this past month. I had tried two Galcos and just was not happy. So, I figured if I'm spending this kinda money I may as well get a hand made one. My only critical thing to say here is I feel it would have been a respectful thing to have below the video where you have all your "support" products to have all of Mr. Andrews Sites and contact information. He did have you there and was a gracious host.

@bensdadfrank 6 лет назад

I have several pieces of gun leather made by Mr. Andrews, and he is an absolute joy to work with. There is a bit of a wait, however when you get holster, belt, or whatever else, it is of the finest quality, and I would gladly wait twice as long. He is, when you order by phone, which at this time, I believe, is the only way to order, a jovial, gentleman, who genuinely takes an interest in you, and in how you will use what you are buying. Right now, I’m saving up for something new, and I look forward to speaking to Sam Andrews again. I could not give him a higher recommendation. Great work, fairly priced products,thoughtfully designed, and you will have a new friend as well. That’s value!
