The Opposite of Restoration: Leather Craft Weathering and Aging Techniques - Distressed Holster 

Very nice work. I made my first holster the other day. It turned out pretty good, for my first attempt.

Every time I begin to think I might know a good bit about leather working, I come across someone who just blows me out of the water. This is ( to me) the most fascinating leather dying I have seen. Thank you soooooo much for your video.

How can I order a holster? I Etsy and messaged you. Thanks a bunch 😊

Brother I've been watching your craft for years. Even being a leathercrafter myself, your work blows me away. That was the most perfect spot of hide to get the side wrinkles in the dye like you did! Amazing work friend!!!!-Jathan

Nice video!! 1 suggestion: I learned that when using ox-pho... to blacken hardware before installing it. I blacked the same type of copper rivet on a stock cheek riser I made. I blackened the rivet as an after thought, and when I did that a bit of the blue-ing leeched into the surrounding leather. Now there's a blue-ish stain on the surrounding leather. Its looks a little odd, and not a natural way for the leather to discolor. If its blackened before, then that issue is eliminated. - That's a beautiful holster, as always.

Always look forward for your vids. Thet are great, keep them coming thanks....

Very nice...that would make a great Christmas gift........do you need my name and address 😉

I definitely like the retention strap on this holster. And not gonna lie, you're definitely more skilled than I am, which makes me wonder, WHY ARE YOU SO BAD WITH RIVETS? I suggest a ball-peen hammer and learning how to peen rivets properly. It might take a couple of minutes longer, especially when compared to the machine rivets you use in other videos, but the results are so much prettier.

Very nice! Thank you for posting!

Luar Biasa Keren Banget🎉🎉❤❤

Wonderfully calming video.... beautiful result...Bravo!!

Absolutely fantastic, work really great simple video, wonderful to watch!

OLD Leather Smith here, you do Beautiful work. I have some suggestions, this I use in my shop so I know they work, a BLUSH BRUSH 4 making it look older, U use a machine and hand stitch why not all hand stitch then it would truly be HAND MADE charcoal works better on copper Rivets. I am guessing it's not 4 quick draw because then you would harden the back leather. Suggestions only. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Just found your channel. I'm retired and looking for a hobby to go along with my passion for shooting sports. It's obvious you have spent years perfecting your craft.

What a great holster for one of my favorite pistols! The pistol isn't mine, mind you, I just really like that particular firearm.

Great techniques

yeah well now there is a new craft ill have to pick up heh thanks so much for sharing awesome work!

What oz of leather did you us on this project? Some great techniques, now to weather the gun to match.

Fantastic!!

Truly the leather master. It makes my day anytime you post

Simplesmente magnífico seus vídeos. Obrigado.

It would have looked even better with the lining also being weathered. Looks a bit too new. Maybe covering a mock sixgun in heavy dark grease, holstering it a couple dozen times, then trying to clean it? 😀 (Or more seriously, weathering the lining leather to look old and grease/dirt-stained before sewing).

Thats mazing work👍👍i lv the rustick look my friendlvly work god🙏bless friend thank you for your time be safe 👍👍dino uk👏🛸

Nice!

It turned out really great 👍 👍👍👍. One question. I know you were showing how to age the leather, and you put charcoal on the stitching. Why not just use gray thread. I'm not questioning your method. I'm just asking

Very cool! Id like to see your take on a Civil war/block powder era looking extreme example of a slimjim holster.

I was wondering what you do with all of your craft work? Do you sell it, give it, or keep em?

what kind and thickness of leather should I get to make two holsters? Also any good cheap websites for these?

My day is immediately better

When you are darkening the edges and splashing the dye, is it the same color as the base dye or did you darken it a little more?

Bill Cody would have been proud to haul his wheel gun in that Holster

Oh wow. LMFAO. Absolutely gorgeous.

Brilliant! What knife are you using?

Olá que máquina vc esta usando na costura?

BRAVO 👏👏 Beautiful Aged Style Holster For COLT NAVY 👍👍😃😃

Very nice work

Absolutely beautiful

💯👍

Excelent, a beautiful pice of art!!!

Masterpiece ! Unreal !

Nice work as always. 😃😃

That is a great looking holster. Thanks

Hello. Excellent work, as always. I wanted to ask you. You did not coat the product with a protective agent. Will paint or antique not stain clothes?

What Anchor Down said. I too am blown away. I found your channel about a year ago and have binge watched every one. Some several times.

Ahoy can you make a gamblers hat?

Another badass work if art!

You continue to impress me with your leather crafting skills!

Hello, how are you? I want a gun holster. Is it custom made? Is there delivery to countries around the world? How much are the prices?

Love it! Great job with the weathering.

You make some great holsters sir!

I really admire your work. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Very nice work

I was wondering what oz. Leather do you generally use on your holster projects .

Awesome video and amazing holster. That said, just found your channel while searching for a leather-working answer. I have a black leather hat that I am trying to age, so it turns to a more grayish hue. Is there a safe way I can accelerate that without ruining the leather?

Very relaxing and motivating to watch and fantastic work👍🏽

Came out beautiful.

class my friend we dont have guns like that here in ireland but would love to make the belt and holster i must look into finding a pattern somewhere looking forward to seeing more

Beautiful work

Amazing work!

I like to submit for a custom order. Do you have availability for a pair of holsters?

You do fantastic work! I am going to be making a holster for a friend of mine and try your technique. What machine and what type/size thread are you using? what type oil are you adding to the pot (?) at 08:08? I have the Cowboy 4500

Do you put a final finish on this holster or just the Neatsfoot oil at 5:00? What thicknesses of leather for holster and liner?

Beautiful!

You are a true artist at your craft. You make it look so easy. Do you have any for sale?😊
