TWO YEARS since the original question ... :whistle:

JLSleather - if you decide to make a video, I'm sure I'll watch it, and enjoy every minute of it. What you won't see is me coming here talking negatively about it, because as an amateur video maker myself, I know how much work went into producing it.

Ah, there's the problem. You think it's about the video. It's not - it's actually about the INSTRUCTION(s).

things like, on a pancake or saddle holster as Andrews calls it, if I want the front (outside) piece to be longer so the gun sits say 60/40 or 70/30 verses 50/50, what determines how much longer the outside piece should be cut. 

Still a good question.  Didn't I post something on this?  I'll check on that ...

In contrast, most of the munkys just interested in how many minutes they can keep you sitting there while they throw poo :o

No point going on about it.  My suggestion is:  when you watched a video, maybe jot down what you actually got out of it

These two i'm bringing up from the rear to hi-lite the original question.  After all this time (and probably long before) not only not a video recommend, but not even a "jot down what you actually got out of it"

Since nobody else did, I'll say that Jim Simmon's article on here about making a holster is pretty informative and should be useful to most if not all.

JLS,

I lost the quote I wanted but I think the video you posted from Sam with the deep voice is the best information on making the "Flat Back" style of pancake holster.  He shows how he uses a piece of leather to go over the gun at several points marking it at each one then uses those marks to lay out his sticking lines.

A-HA!  I thought I had commented on this ...

This guy has a good pic in that thread.. showing both THIS ISSUE and the difference between the G17 and the G19 (I get asked about that frequently).

Yeah, Sam (Andrews) did a quick little thing about how to derive your lines.  No frills, no pirated music (sorry!), but very clear and to the point VISUAL INSTRUCTION (which should be the point of a video, but has become the exception) of what we're talking about here.

If you have been complaining about this for two years and still aren't satisfied, why don't you do something about it and make one yourself?  Better yet, I am willing to host a live class with you as the instructor.  For FREE, since you like that word a lot.  That way you can answer questions in real time and put the complaining to rest.  I will make the video available to anyone who wants it at any time.  What do you say?

I have always been hoping John Bianchi would put his cowboy holster video on line.

I doubt if anyone has taken the time and effort that he did in that old VHS format.  

I learned more from his 3 1/2 hour or so video than any other place I've ever gone.  And while the video was on how to make a western gunbelt and holster for a .45 LC, . . . so much of what he showed was also adaptable to other guns.  Truly a great video series.

One of my "thank you" heroes.

May God bless,

Dwight

If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran.

I'm gonna pass there. I wouldn't have thought - much less said - that I was "complaining".  I know the sun comes up in the east, and i'll say that.  Doesn't imply an opinion about whether it "should" be that way.  But the "make one yourself" does get a bit tired.  Like the name being blue on this site. I donated a few measly bucks a LONG time ago. I was going to donate AGAIN, but then thought... unless all those other names are also blue, it must not be my turn yet ;)

But I like better the idea that IF I was making this video, poo-tube will hold and display it just fine, make it "available to anyone who wants it at any time" .  I prefer not to be affiliated with your site, even in appearance. You do you, as they say.  You'll be fine. I'll be fine.  We'll all be fine.

I've heard good stuff about those for a long time. I wonder if maybe I should check those out sometime.
