What Holster & Belt Dvd Do I Need?

[George B]

Well, I've learned enough about holsters and belts to become a danger and a menace with a side of leather. It's been trial and error trying to perfect my work and I have more orders coming in.

Let's just say I sometimes am spinning my wheels and wasting money doing it my way. It just aint workin'!

So here's my question...what dvd intructional material is the best?

I've had schooling and experience with saddles now for over a year. Winter has been rough so the riders are not out yet and the economy hasn't helped.

But, I've been recieving more orders for holsters and belts, some western, some not, and well, gotta feed the family.

I've heard about the Dusty Johnson DVD, but have also read where it did not explain some saftey straps and I need someting that gives me a lot of info.

Heard of george Hurst, but cannot find any links to his videos.

And, I've seen info on the Bianchi DVD set.

At this point, if the Bianchi is the best I don't mind spending the money, but as of late I've bought some how to books and patterns that left alot to be desired and burn a whole bunch of leather and time.

If you have any of the dvds listed let me know what you think.

I did this one last week

and have one oiled up in russet drying, getting ready to start another in black and have a buscadero I'm working on

George,

I have Dusty Johnson's DVD on holsters. I don't mean to knock it because as a rank newbie I did learn a lot from it and keep going back to it. But now, after making a few holsters I am wanting more info than his video provides. I am wishing that I had put my $30 toward Bianchi's DVD set.

Hidecrafter has George Hurst's videos: https://www.hidecrafter.com/hci/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=2&Itemid=35

I would also be interested in hearing comments on Bianchi's DVD's from anyone who has them.

The Bianchi DVDs are excellent although they only cover western rigs. You can rent them at smartflix.com

The Bianchi videos are good stuff. I have Dusty Johnson's also but they do not compare to one another. Check out you tube for "carry" holsters. I am sure there are more videos out there that are good these are the only ones I have experience with. I still go through a lot of trial and error and a lot of hair pulling. I hope this help and good luck. JH

Check our this web site by Chuck Burrows. I have both of his DVD and the Bianchi DVD and highly recommend both for holster making. Both sets cover the making of western gun leather but contain vast knowledge in basic leather crafting. What you will learn can be carried over to concealment holsters with the help of the great people on this forum and their tutorials.
