I received an order for an IWB1 (inside the waistband) style leather holster and gun belt for the Sig P365 with the Crimson Trace LG-422 Laserguard attached, and the customer asked if I could film the process and post it to YouTube. So, here ya' go! The entire build took roughly 4-5 hours, spread over several days. ► PATTERNS: https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns ► IN STOCK https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/in-stock ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamsleatherworks ► FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/adamsleatherworks/ ► TOOLS & GEAR (affiliate links) Air Brush - Badger 150 Airbrush: https://amzn.to/2PrSnnB Air Compressor - Senco PC1010 1-Gallon Air Compressor: https://amzn.to/2BCN5gO Bone Folder: https://amzn.to/2Wdbbbx Brass Maker Stamps: https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ Burnishing Gum (Gum Tragacanth): https://amzn.to/2JmeRT3 Burnishing Gum (Tokonole): https://amzn.to/2WgkY0f Cardstock: https://amzn.to/36ycaqY Cocobolo Burnisher: https://www.proedgeburnishers.com/index.html Contact Cement (Barge): https://amzn.to/2tCPiIs Contact Cement (Fiebling's - Non Toxic): https://amzn.to/2VRTdv8 Contact Cement (Weldwood - this is what I use): https://amzn.to/39L2883 Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/2QPgv2q Dye: https://amzn.to/2Fmk2zZ Edger (C.S.

I made a leather journal cover for the Leuchtturm1917 Medium A5 using oil tan pull up leather I purchased last year on a Black Friday sale at Springfield Leather. I start off by quickly sketching the basic design, then I roughed out the pattern before (off camera) refining the pattern in Adobe Illustrator. Then I cut out the design on my laser cutter and assembled the project. This was a really fun project, and it was nice to make something for myself for a change. The pattern is available on my website if you'd like to make your own from this design. ► PATTERNS: https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns ► IN STOCK https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/in-stock ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamsleatherworks ► FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/adamsleatherworks/ ► TOOLS & GEAR (affiliate links) Air Brush - Badger 150 Airbrush: https://amzn.to/2PrSnnB Air Compressor - Senco PC1010 1-Gallon Air Compressor: https://amzn.to/2BCN5gO Bone Folder: https://amzn.to/2Wdbbbx Brass Maker Stamps: https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ Burnishing Gum (Gum Tragacanth): https://amzn.to/2JmeRT3 Burnishing Gum (Tokonole): https://amzn.to/2WgkY0f Cardstock: https://amzn.to/36ycaqY Contact Cement (Barge): https://amzn.to/2tCPiIs Contact Cement (Fiebling's - Non Toxic): https://amzn.to/2VRTdv8 Contact Cement (Weldwood - this is what I use): https://amzn.to/39L2883 Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/2QPgv2q Dye: https://amzn.to/2Fmk2zZ Edger (C.S.

This was my first attempt at making a field style leather gun holster. For this Springfield XD-M 4.5" 10mm holster, I used two layers of 3-4 ounce Wickett & Craig vegetable tanned leather and bonded nylon thread. If you didn't want to line the holster, I'd recommend a single layer of 7-8 ounce leather for the body. I begin the video by demonstrating my process for creating the pattern, and then ultimately building the holster. I conclude with a review of the pattern and make a few adjustments that I felt necessary for my next build. I dyed the leather with my Badger 150 airbrush and my Senco PC1010 air compressor. I sealed the leather with Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene. The leather field style holster was sewn with my Cobra Class 4 from Leather Machine Company. ► PATTERNS: https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns ► IN STOCK https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/in-stock ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamsleatherworks ► FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/adamsleatherworks/ ► TOOLS & GEAR (affiliate links) Air Brush - Badger 150 Airbrush: https://amzn.to/2PrSnnB Air Compressor - Senco PC1010 1-Gallon Air Compressor: https://amzn.to/2BCN5gO Bone Folder: https://amzn.to/2Wdbbbx Brass Maker Stamps: https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ Burnishing Gum (Gum Tragacanth): https://amzn.to/2JmeRT3 Burnishing Gum (Tokonole): https://amzn.to/2WgkY0f Cardstock: https://amzn.to/36ycaqY Contact Cement (Barge): https://amzn.to/2tCPiIs Contact Cement (Fiebling's - Non Toxic): https://amzn.to/2VRTdv8 Contact Cement (Weldwood - this is what I use): https://amzn.to/39L2883 Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/2QPgv2q Dye: https://amzn.to/2Fmk2zZ Edger (C.S.

For this clip on leather magazine pouch, I used two layers of 3-4 ounce Wickett & Craig vegetable tanned leather and bonded nylon thread, with a spring steel clip to attach it to the belt. If you didn't want to line the pouch, I'd recommend a single layer of 7-8 ounce leather for the body, though I'd still suggest 3-4 ounce for the clip pocket panel. ► PATTERNS: https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns ► IN STOCK https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/in-stock ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamsleatherworks ► FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/adamsleatherworks/ ► TOOLS & GEAR (affiliate links) Air Brush - Badger 150 Airbrush: https://amzn.to/2PrSnnB Air Compressor - Senco PC1010 1-Gallon Air Compressor: https://amzn.to/2BCN5gO Bone Folder: https://amzn.to/2Wdbbbx Brass Maker Stamps: https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ Burnishing Gum (Gum Tragacanth): https://amzn.to/2JmeRT3 Burnishing Gum (Tokonole): https://amzn.to/2WgkY0f Cardstock: https://amzn.to/36ycaqY Contact Cement (Barge): https://amzn.to/2tCPiIs Contact Cement (Fiebling's - Non Toxic): https://amzn.to/2VRTdv8 Contact Cement (Weldwood - this is what I use): https://amzn.to/39L2883 Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/2QPgv2q Dye: https://amzn.to/2Fmk2zZ Edger (C.S.

Shout out to Sam Andrews for the stitch line technique! I went out on a limb with this one! I don't normally like making holsters for revolvers, and I have very little experience with them. In this video, I decided to give Sam Andrews' flat-back pancake technique a try (the technique he shared on Hank Strange's channel a while back). ► PATTERNS: https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns ► IN STOCK https://www.adamsleatherworks.com/in-stock ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamsleatherworks ► FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/adamsleatherworks/ ► TOOLS & GEAR (affiliate links) Air Brush - Badger 150 Airbrush: https://amzn.to/2PrSnnB Air Compressor - Senco PC1010 1-Gallon Air Compressor: https://amzn.to/2BCN5gO Bone Folder: https://amzn.to/2Wdbbbx Brass Maker Stamps: https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ Burnishing Gum (Gum Tragacanth): https://amzn.to/2JmeRT3 Burnishing Gum (Tokonole): https://amzn.to/2WgkY0f Cardstock: https://amzn.to/36ycaqY Contact Cement (Barge): https://amzn.to/2tCPiIs Contact Cement (Fiebling's - Non Toxic): https://amzn.to/2VRTdv8 Contact Cement (Weldwood - this is what I use): https://amzn.to/39L2883 Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/2QPgv2q Dye: https://amzn.to/2Fmk2zZ Edger (C.S.
