Leathercraft: Buscadero Tooled Leather Cartridge Belt & Holster Cowboy Action Cosplay Leatherworking

Making an early-style western leather "buscadero" holster and cartridge belt rig. If you're following along in "Packing Iron: Gunleather of the Frontier West" by Richard C. Rattenbury, I'm using the rig on page 193 as inspiration (though it's not an exact copy). This is an interesting alternative to the standard buscadero-style belt in that you can wear the holster either high or slung low. It was a fun build I did over the holidays for some cosplay events. I blinged it up with a lot of nickel spots (technically domed-rivets) and silver buckles. The color is Fiebings' Russet thinned down with alcohol. Then weathered and aged it. All the extra buckles and bling make it a little complicated to put on and take off but not much more complicated than a money belt.

The sure sign of a master craftsman is the ease at which he makes it look performing his craft. Top shelf.

@midnightsailor1 2 года назад

Gosh, that is just incredibly lovely work. I find it most relaxing just to watch but I love to aquire the tools, and skills to do this myself. Crafting such an awesome gun rig would not only be immensely satisfying but useful ,one of be proud to wear with my Colt.

@billwessels207 2 года назад

An interesting treatment of an old problem. Looks good enough for a movie prop. I like the shape of the holster, obviously due to your experience with SASS rigs as you have the thumb cutout for the offhand draw. Just need the other holster now! I enjoyed the video. Thank you, Sir!

@notfeedynotlazy 2 года назад

I usually prefer plain, unadorned gunbelts and despise the so-called buscadero rigs with a pasion, but THIS is gunleather in THAT style that I would actually not mind wearing. Bravo. Good job on the whole thing. From the tasteful decoration whose rivets actually serve a purpose to the variable wearing style, this is the best rig I've seen in quite a time.

Bueno. Opinion. Las 2 pequeñas hebillas del cinto no las hubiera puesto, lo carga demasiado. El pasador de la canana o funda del revolver la hubiera puesto hacia adentro que no se crucen a la vista. Y el boton - moneda con dos aberturas simplemente lo hubiera sujeto hacia adento por los pasadores para que se note mejor y no hubiera puesto esa trenza.

@williamolliges2622 Год назад

I’d have used a snap to attach the buckle. End user might want to shop the Great many buckle makers that could build a buckle to take that piece to the next level. I’m a fan of blued or browned iron and silver inlay, myself.

@raulcabrerah Год назад

Okay. Opinion. I would not have put the 2 small buckles on the belt, it burdens it too much. The pin of the cartridge belt or holster of the revolver would have placed it inward so that they do not cross in sight. And the button - coin with two openings I would have simply held it inwards by the pins to make it more noticeable and I would not have put that braid.

@Varundin 2 года назад

Amazing as always! May I ask some questions? 1. What do you use to dye? Whats in the pickle jar?;) 2. What thread did you use to hand stitch this? Thank you so much!

@RoadAgentLeather 2 года назад

This one was dyed with Fiebings' russet thinned down with denatured alcohol. That's what's in the big pickle jar. After the dye dries I give it a coat of neatsfoot oil then use the antique finish. Stitching is done with #277 bonded nylon.

I love your videos, you're a master leather crafter sir. Where did you purchase your leather and how can I obtain the bullet loop pattern you used? btw 32:40, I was working on my first leather project this week for my uncle, leather apron, and I forgot to add the buckle to the strap before hammering down the snap lol I blame getting distracted by my camera while I was recording..sorry you had to do it again to add the keeper =)

@RoadAgentLeather 2 года назад

I buy my leather from Wickett & Craig or Tandy. It just depends on what is on sale. The fact that I have two Tandy leather shops within short driving distance from me means they get first dibs. The bullet loop pattern is something I made up for this rig. I the loops are a little wider than I usually use so had to make one custom.

I can't help wondering how this would look with a cross draw holster on the left side (either as part of a 2 gun rig for cowboy action, or as the main/only holster). Also, how would the a cross draw holster look as an over the belt design, the higher position would be better for access either standing or while riding.

@DragonQueLee Год назад

I've made a stage version of this whih, instead of a slot cut in the leather, has the lower decorarive strap securely rivetted to the main belt at points separated by a holster width. You can hang the holster/s from any of those loops, allowing you to (say) switch from single to twin guns to side + crossdraw without having to cut multiple slots. Truly versatile.
