Hello Folks! Today I'm making a Hand Tooled Leather Holster for a Ruger Mark II pistol. My destructive Cousin Seth is here for a visit too! HAW! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Boy your awesome on leather work, Gary awhile back , I remember you pinched or cut your fingers ,was it on a BB gun cocking it , I forget , I was thinking about that today .
Thanks! Yeah, it was a Chinese pellet gun / finger chopper! What a terrible design! It about lopped off two of my finger tips! That thing hurts when it bites!!
Thank you Tom. I do, and that's part of the problem....I'm way behind. Kind of takes the fun out of it. If I ever get caught up again, I'd be happy to make you one. The other trouble is having the gun to make it fit right. If it's one I have, or can borrow, it's no problem. Without the gun, it's pretty tough to make one.
Very nice work Gary. That's a pleasure to watch. That scabbard will last generations if it's given the respect it's due. Probably at least 2 decades if it's used hard. I love how durable and functional leather is. It smells great in the shop too. Nicely done Sir.
What a pleasure it is to watch a true artist and craftsman at work. I love things that are functional but when they are also beautiful it has a compounded reward. You my friend are truly blessed to be both. When the Lord was handing out talents, he tipped his hand and spilled them on you. Thank you so much for sharing and have a blessed day, my friend. PB
This was just pure joyful to watch,you sir are an incredible craftsman.Thank you for sharing your talents with us.May God bless you and your family MUSKRAT.✌️🇺🇸✌️🌎❤️🌎
That is a beautiful work of art! I really enjoy these videos. Thanks so much for sharing Brother. You folks have a great day. I think I have the same sewing machine.
@@MuskratOutdoors yep, same thing. I haven't used it much but I do like it. I think I could just about sew plywood together, lol. Dad bought it when he was quite elderly and then his eyesight went so he never used it. When he passed on in 2020, I got it.
That's just beautiful G.H. And you make it look so easy. Thank you so much for allowing us to watch! Your cousin Seth is a hoot! I almost shot coffee out my nose.😤
Nice work. I always learn something watching you work leather. You aught to sell that fella the rocking horse to match his holster. I've got that same gun but with the black frame. I carry it in an old hunter holster made to fit a 1911. I'll make a holster for it eventually. I prefer the rear sight to be inside the holster or at least have a leather tab covering it since I tend to bang it into things like car doors, benches, rifle stocks etc. I've had to replace the sight blade.
Thanks! It's kinda fun to do. I've made hundreds of them over the years. This one is for a friend's little girl actually. I prefer revolvers, but I have a 1911.....only it's a Chinese copy unfortunately.
Nice video showing off your work. Horrible job explaining how to do it . Try again only explain what tools and how to use them. Thanks for wasting my time.
My Ruger single seven watched this with me. It's bright shiny smile said it is in need of a home like that. Now I'll have to be on the lookout for something very close to your creation. Magnificent work sir, a good oil job and it'll be ready for the woods. I've grown very fond of that little pistol, 32 cal, almost 357 power. Light, accurate as they come. Only complaint is it's loud with protection.
Oh, it's just a bullet slide over my suspenders. I might have a trapping pistol on my belt also. If so, it's just a 22 North American Arms 5 shot pocket revolver.
That was satisfying. That leather work would sell. I wonder can you put that horse or other images on those beaver tails? What a holster that would make. Your leather work is fantastic. Amazing every time. 👍👍
Thank you! No, the beaver tails have too much pattern on them from the scales. You might be able to combine the two types of leather into something though. Beaver Tail inlay or something.
Wow 👍that’s perfection . I dabble a bit in leather but you just gave me lessons. I wish I had a sowing machine like that.I got a kick out of your bumper sticker on your freezer 😂
HA! Thank you Paul! I didn't notice that sticker was there until I edited this! I wondered if anyone would notice! It's actually a magnet. We put one on a friends car, and she drove from Idaho to Louisiana before she noticed!! I asked "Did anyone honk?" She said "No....damn it!" HAW! The sewing machine is a Tippmann Boss. They still make them.
That was great ! Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill. Ok the jar with the brush inside Of it is going into my bag of tricks now . What a great idea. And I'm sure your leather sewing machine saves a lot of time. Instead of a hand sewing all. Great video.
HA! It's a "Happy little holster, with a happy little horse!" I always liked watching him paint. Funny though, he'd get it just right, then do something I thought wrecked it.....but when he was done, it looked great!
I make a lot of Old West type holsters and saddles, so I had that stamp made. Salmon, was once called Salmon City, and the I.T is for Idaho Territory. It could also stand for Indian Territory.
beautiful work brother . your a real craftsmen . but im sure you already knew that lol . but if it means anything im being honest with ya just really beautiful .
It's hard for me to do unless I have the gun to fit it to. If it's one I have, I can do it, but without the gun, it won't fit right. This one didn't belong to me. My email is muskrat14@hotmail.com I don't look at it very often, so if I don't answer try again. I get a lot of junk stuff and might miss it.
All I can say is WOW. With your talent and skill with the right tools, you sure can make some beautiful things. Now to repair the chair after the holster. Great video, Thanks
@@MuskratOutdoors Sold it a while back, just wasn’t using it enough… then I sold my snowmobile… then my Argo broke down… so I’ve been riding my couch all winter. 🤣
@@MuskratOutdoors Depends on the snow…. I have 18” wide rubber tracks on mine and it gets around pretty good unless it’s powder snow and you try going up any kind of a hill. If it’s wet enough to compact down I can go places where I can’t stay in the seat 😏
