Thanks for subscribing! I'm of the same mindset. Real-steel is my preferred. Though I own my share of plastic guns.

@@RoadAgentLeather I too own many plastic guns, but down really care or them. But I would rather loose a plastic gun than a steel gun if I god forbid have to defend myself. I believe over time these plastic firearms will degrade. All the plastic and rubber over time seem to degrade. Guns made of metal have proven to last 100s of years.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you!

I made this video. I was trying to replicate a full holster & belt rig from a picture in a book: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0COb_H3K6gA.html

I love S&W 3rd generation guns. The best they ever made, IMHO.

@@RoadAgentLeather I agree!

Thanks for subscribing!

Thanks! Adobe Illustrator for creating the designs and making .stl files. It's a paid subscription (I'm a professional graphic designer so already had it). Inkscape is a free web-based option that seems good. I used Lightburn when I had my Creality machines. However, Xtool has their Creative Space app and I've been using that since I got their P2 laser. I don't think it has as many features as Lighburn, but it's free and obviously interfaces with their machines well.

@@RoadAgentLeather Excellent. Thanks for the info and the quick reply.

Many thanks!

Thank you very much!

I may have watched the same fellow.

Thanks for watching! I occasionally sell on my Etsy page. But there's nothing for sell there at the moment.

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I'm unable to take on custom projects at the moment.

Thanks for watching! That particular clip came from Tandy Leather.

And you're only seeing the highlights. I have to edit a lot out for time. Thanks for watching!

I still used my craftool chisels. However, these actually remove material by punching a hole (instead of cutting a row of tiny slits). I've found it's a little easier when working with thick welts like this holster has.

It's an old trick I learned. The saddle soap helps lubricate the leather fibers: This makes carving with a swivel knife easier (if you're using one) and helps make the leather more pliable, which results in better stamp impressions. It also slows down the drying a bit. But it's something definitely not everyone does.

Thanks!

That's great to hear! It's why I keep cranking out the videos.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I'm crossing my fingers!

Thanks! It's just like regular casing. I let it sit in the bag for a few hours, then take it out. When the leather starts to turn back to it's original color start the tooling.

I haven't tried saddel soap yet, but I truly love casing my leather over night. It turns out so much prettier and better burnish when tooling. Thx again!

It's a synthetic wool pad. It's my preferred method of applying dye. I buy them from Tandy Leather.

Thanks! I used to chuck an awl blade in the press and poke the holes that way. But I prefer the drill bit actually removing the material as it just makes it easier to get the needles through all that glued material.

Thanks! Unfortunately I'm not able to take custom orders at the moment.

Thank you so much 😀

Makes the leather more pliable and I think it helps the glue penetrate a little deeper.

Were you the one who asked about it? I brought it back by request.

@@RoadAgentLeather I don't think so, but it is classic Road Agent tunes 👌

Not that I've noticed?

Thanks! it's Fiebing's Antique Finish

​@@RoadAgentLeatherthank you very much. Your videos have been a great inspiration to me. big hug from Brazil!🇧🇷🇧🇷

For me it's less about time-save and more about precision and repeatability. The stacks of leather I had to cut to create both the welt and the toe plug that held the magnets would be near impossible to do otherwise (for me anyway). No effect on stitching and dyeing. In fact, you can actually laser cut stitch holes . . . . something I'll be showing in an upcoming video. The cons: There's the scorched edge and the soot to deal with. There's also the issue that you may generally waste more leather than hand-cutting or using a clicker press: You have to fit the leather into the machine somehow; which necessitates sectioning off your hide into smaller pieces. I've found this results in more unused material getting thrown into the scrap bin.

Thanks! No idea on a weight limit. I'm using a stack of neodymium magnets and add or remove until it seems like 'enough'.

@@RoadAgentLeather Cool, thank you.

Hi. Thanks for subscribing! Do you mean the big wooden chest with drawers? That particular one was a gift from my father. But you can find similar ones in many places. They come in different sizes and range from cheap to expensive. Amazon is always a good place to start and is my go-to. The pricey ones are at woodworking shops like Rockler and Woodcraft. Looks like Harbor Freight even has one. You just need to make sure the drawers are large enough to hold your tools.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm unable to take custom orders at the moment.

@@RoadAgentLeather o man that sucks. Hopefully sometime in the future.

I made a video a while back that's sort of like that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0COb_H3K6gA.html

Right on I will check it out, thank you

Thanks! I currently don't sell any patterns. Most of what I make are one-offs. And yes! I have made videos where I go into more detailed explanation. You can search my videos on the main page. Off the top of my head, there was a 5-part series I did on making and tooling the "Hand of God" holster from "3:10 to Yuma". The "Fancy Spotted Rig" 2-parter is a good one too. There is also a weathering/aging tutorial video where I talk about that whole process. The videos that perform the best (i.e., receive the most views) are the ones where I just show close-ups of me working and have a chill background soundtrack.

@@RoadAgentLeather thank you 🙏
