Excellent design of the snap strap/belt loop! I've done mine like that before but never designed it half as well as you did. Very very good design overall and great looking holster to boot! Well done! I like the way that type of belt loop design makes the pistol grip hug the body.
I made a pancake holster for my walther P99 5 years ago it's time I make another the fit and function of this holster is awesome when I get a pattern I'll be all set ! good work and keep the videos coming 👍 1👌👏👏👏
Awesome project and workmanship! Would you consider selling the pattern for the holster? A .pdf image wound be perfect. I made a holster for my PPK/S but yours is much more beautiful.
I am really enjoying your videos. Is that a Cobra class 26 machine? What size needle and thread are you using in it? I like the look of that size stitching.
It's a really nice gun. Too bad it's not mine! But to be honest, if a gun can't slide into my jean pocket I generally won't carry it. The PPK is still a little large and heavy for pocket carry.
The problem with this is the retention strap goes across the back strap. This impedes a smooth draw. Otherwise your work is awesome thanks for the video
Thank you for another wonderful video. I learn something new every time I watch you work. I just did a reproduction of a Nagant revolver holster for a special request. I was pleased with the finished product and made a short video if you would be interested.
I occasionally take commissioned work. It depends on the gun you're needing it for. I don't have patterns for them all. Look me up on my Etsy page "roadagentleather"
@@RoadAgentLeather It's a 1911 series 70 stainless with blue and black grips and would like to get one you did in the video "Bound edge 1911" Only I would like it in Blue and black to match the grips.
1:45 _Please, don't._ You can't buy new thumbs. Heed this advice of a worried watcher, and fellow leatherworker. Do not thake those cuts towards your own hand, 'key? Do it for us, and for you!
Oh please... he isn't doing anything dangerous. I have been a woodcarver and leatherworker for forty years making cuts just like that and never had an issue...
@@Stillnapie Yes he is. I've been also working with knives since I was 12 (am 51 now) and I've only _once_ had an issue. And _once_ is enough. You know, every single person who ever was killed in a car crash also had been not been killed in a car crash so far.
@@notfeedynotlazy well my father gave me my first pocket knife when I was eight.. I’m now 62 so I think I have a bit of experience. I’ve been carving more than twice as long as you have been alive… He is in no way doing anything remotely dangerous.
Beautiful work. Is there a rule of thumb for leather weight? Could a small pistol like that use a lighter leather and still not get all sloppy over time? Just thinking for maybe a “ladies weight” rig.
Just watching your work has helped me with my tooling way better than the videos explaining tooling. You actually show the process and buying quality stamps helped as well
From the edge of the leather I generally put my stitch line the same distance as the thickness of the leather. All other lines/groves have no specific rule. I just place by what I think looks best.
