I know it's kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@Graham Felipe Flixportal :D
@Aarav Alan Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!!
@Graham Felipe You are welcome :D
I find the whole thing soothing. The topic, the activity, the progress, the voice, the result. Some people like audio recording of rainstorms etc...........not me. This is my new Bob Ross.
adds a lot more appreciation for the workmanship in the holsters...a lot of work & pride ...I'm more than interested in a leather rig than I was before...thank you Hank for sharing this awesome piece
If he ever gets tired of making holsters, he could always make a living narrating books.That's a money voice right there. Great video Hank.
You’re so right
I could watch and listen to Mr Andrews all day long. I want to be his apprentice! This man is a master craftsman of the highest level
I learned leather-crafting from my mother and have been doing it for years. All of my carry guns have hand-made exotic-hide holsters, made in my small gunsmithing shop. I always worried that word would get out and I would suddenly get lots of people who wanted custom holsters made. Making mass quantities of custom holsters would take the fun out of the craft for me. Big props to Sam Andrews for grinding out holsters day after day and not burning out. Well done, sir.
its beautiful to watch. I think our Host should seriously consider becoming a narrator of audio books or commercials. You can hear in his voice his extreme patience that probably translate to his ability to be such a great craftsman.
This man was born for this
this guy has a voice of a angel.
What great work you do, attention to detail. I used to have this great knife that my grandfather carried during fighting in the pacific, in had this sheath and belt that was so heavy duty you could almost use it for a weapon. The belt and sheath was probally made in the early 40's and no idea when the knife was made, but I remember when I was young my Grandmother would show it to me, the whole rig was heavy duty. This was probally made in New York State or Vermont, never knew my grandfather so I have no history on the gear. Thanks
That 226 is one sexy pistol. Got my motor runnin. Gonna go give the wife the traveling lumberjack treatment.
It is obvious Mr Andrews is very experienced and takes great pride and care in making his product. A very interesting video and very generous of Mr Andrews to spend the time to impart the information and demonstration of his skills. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you.
Sam sounds so educated and so well spoken, and beyond master craftsman. He could easily be a trial lawyer.. Just my 2¢
The slicker, the smoother, the groover the whack stick, the clickie table and the pointy knife. I don’t think I’ll find these in the catalogue. 😂. Fantastic work.
This man is a true artist, I just got a second hand rig for my 1911. It's simply perfection!
I have seen 1,187,323 videos this is in the top 5.
I just called in an order for one of these holsters myself. Mr Andrews is one of the most polite and professional men I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. If his holster is half as awesome as he is, then it's a steal of a deal.
Thanks for doing this extended interview, Hank. Who else would do this but you? So thanks. This guy has a real talent for teaching. It helps that he really seems to love his work.
His voice, personality, and work ethic are all perfect!!
I want to thank Sam for being such a good teacher. He has greatly improved my holster work by watching him over and over. I have tried his techniques and they all work very well.
There are other holster makers on CZcams, but none can compare with the look of these finished products. Having just purchased a S&W 380 EZ, I will order one tomorrow.
This guy could definitely do a tv show just on holsters and i guarantee you that people would watch him because #1 he's a master craftsman #2 he explains everything he is doing down to the smallest detail. #3 his voice is very mesmerizing while he works. It literally makes you want to pay attention.
This man could do anything on a tv show and people would watch him simply because of his voice but knowing him he probably wouldn't sell his soul to show business witch in my opinion is wise.
Mr. Andrews, the quality of your products are unparalleled.
Inside the waist band holster for semi-auto center-fire pistols. Love it.
Totally Bob Vila of the leather holster world.
He needs to be in radio!
Mr. Andrews is truly a master craftsman. His products are second to no one. 👍👍
At $115 bucks, these are too expensive for me, but I'll tell ya, if I hot the lottery, I'm ordering. And really, this guy has the voice of a superhero!
This holster is AWESOME and I'm just now realizing that Sam is the voice over for the Hank Strange video introductions. Sam's holsters are the bomb!
thank you so much Hank for getting this incredible craftsman on camera. I feel like my armature craftsmanship has increased greatly just in the few videos of him that I've watched. He truly makes the best products I've ever seen and it's a absolute pleasure seeing how he goes through the steps and the best part is he doesn't deny that mistakes got him to perfection it really makes the craft seem doable to someone like myself who has had his own share of trial and error with this craft.
awesome, nothing makes both Sam and myself feel better than knowing we helped someone :)
does he have a new website?
Hank Strange how does one get in Contact with Mr Andrews?
I made the drive to St. Augustine and had the pleasure of meeting Sam (and Ann.. my apologies if I have that wrong). Ordered 2 holsters and can't wait.. but am patient as I know they are worth it. Will be glad to drive right back down to St. Augustine to pick them up when they are ready. Thank you again! - Tracy
Hank's videos with Sam have been some of the basis of my own holster making. They kind of "nudged" me over the edge. If I ever do get to retire to being holed-up in my shop, I think I may have to play Hank's background music on the loop while I work. Yes, the videos are entertaining, but to see a step-by-step how-it's-made with no pretension, no chest pumping and basic instruction is refreshing. Thanks Hank ... and Thank You, Sam. (... and I like the camera work. Sam's not the only one getting better as time goes on.)
Not Only does this Sam Andrews speak english perfectly, he is a true artist in this time of cheap chinese production of most products. Very impressive ! I love my shoulder rig he made its a work of art to me. I'm about to order some more from him soon. I hope he passes his art on to his son or others someday to carry on his work in the future (as this video may.) The knowlege and artistry he has gathered takes decades I'm sure.
Greatest thing about this guy is he picks up his own phone. I'm looking for a Springfield TRP rig so i called to ask some questions and clearly was talking to Sam. I like that kind of interaction. Will be sending a money order soon and officially placing my order
Wow this man is a legend, cant wait to buy some of his holsters
Just ordered my McDaniel II from him today. I could talk to him for hours!
that guys voice is epic. He should voice civil war documentaries!
I love his holsters. I've carried a MacDaniel II for almost 20 years now and other than getting darker from time and oils, it still looks great. When I tell people it's 20 years old they just can't believe it.
I never thought this skill would be within reach. I am completely in love with craft rather it’s carpentry, sewing or this. I’m sold. I’ll be doing this within the next year.
A true Craftsman. I have so much respect for gentlemen of his caliber. He's a fine whiskey of a Leatherman. Your experience shows through your complete knowledge and fit and finish.

This man is a true master craftsman and I need one of these holsters. Along with him narrating my life.
Man... His voice is how I hear myself in my head but when it comes out it's straight Gilbert Godfrey
WHAT, whaddya want! 😂😁🤣
What a great video. Great info, this guys a true leatherman.
Very informative, but also, this gentleman has a voice for radio. I don't know whether he's ever worked in the radio business, but he has the pipes.
Andrews Leather are the only videos I watch from Hank Strange but I love them.
Great video! Thank you both for what you do. I'm an replica airgun collector who looks for creative things to do with my hobby in my spare time. Watching your holster making videos have inspired me through the years to DIY my own holsters. I can never achieve or come close to the quality of anything you make, but I've gotten so much instructional input from your detailed segments that I can make functional holsters that serve my purpose. Amazing Craftsmanship! Also, Amazing business model.........they don't make them (the business) like yours Sir anymore........I wish they did.....If I were a real gun owner ( one day I might become one) . I'm definitely going to treat myself to one of your custom orders......I Absolutely love what you do with the exotic leathers, both holster products and grips.
Good vid
I love that he made these videos. Just found this and immediately ordered one. Quality + Transparency = Rarity.
May this man never get arthritis in his hands. So much artistic talent would be lost.
True Craftsmanship !
What a great video. I was sold on a holster of similar craftsmanship from another leather worker but now I want to buy something from this guy! Very well done by everyone involved.
I see y'all are not on the Hacienda what's up what's up thank you guys for putting the how to videos out I wish you would do more . the pattern making video was awesome works great I use your cutting method to cut out patterns ,with a piece of carpet underneath to cut the leather works awesome .Dude you have saved me a tremendous amount of time with the patterns ,as I have to do everything by hand thank you so much. ...
I'll bet he does the best Sean Connery impression.
Hank, thanks for the video on the MacDaniel II. I loved that you had Sam narrate the opening. Well done sir!
Thanks Hank. It's always a joy to see an artisan like Sam working his craft.
Thank you, now I am convinced that Mr. Andrews is the man to see when I'm ready to have my custom shoulder rig made. Great video.
I ordered mine in may. I cant wait to get it. now I know why the wait time. wow. so excited.
What a great pleasure to watch a master do his thing. I am amazed at the quality and precision of Mr. Andrews. Thank you.
Sam, it is an absolute pleasure watching you work. Hank - Thanks very much for bringing these to CZcams!
I imagine Sam's shop has a magnificent, wonderful leather fragrance. To Hank and Sam, thank you, both of you, for sharing.
Watching for the 5th time. I hope to get as good as him one day. I called him a little over a year ago and he is unbelievably nice. Told me where to get the leather and who to talk to. I explained how I started the same exact same way, still stitching in the patrol car over night on breaks!
Where do you get your leather? Are you in FL?
+Andrew Kenseth I order mine from Wickett and Craig. Same place Same does.
+Joe L thanks Joe, I'm a fellow Officer also. Which style leather do you go with? English Bridle? Thanks for the reply!
+Andrew Kenseth Order the skirting. You'll have to have them cut it down to 7/8oz for holster making.
Nothing beats leather for functionality and beauty. Great job. Thanks for the insight into the process
I love watching true craftsmen expertly applying their trade. He makes it look so easy.
Your carpet cutting method works fantastic.
this man needs to do books on tape
That's some fine craftsmanship you don't see a lot of these days.
Just got mine the other day and I have to say this is the finest iwb holster I’ve ever used! Quality is 5 star! Love the detail, quality, feel, and durability. I’ll definitely be ordering another 😃👍🏻 thank your Mr Andrews!
How did you order.
Love that video Hank. The detailed view and explanation of Sam's craftsmanship is remarkable. Thanks to you, Sam, and your crew for shooting and editing the video. Looks like it too a lot of time. Thanks and please produce more like it!
Amazing work. He’s a master.
It's the voice of Kings.
Wow that was cool to see all that goes into custom leather work. I just ordered a Monarch shoulder rig and yes Sam is a very nice guy to talk with. Of course I mentioned the Hank Strange CZcams Channel so Sam knows his name is getting out there. I was surprised when Sam gave me around a 2 week window for the turn around time as I was prepared for 4-6 weeks, that's awesome. This video really showcases the attention to detail and it makes me feel very good about my purchase. I can't wait to get my shoulder rig. Thanks Hank and thanks Sam.
What a nice guy he is - and a craftsman at the top level.
I'm thinking my next holster will be a MacDaniel II for my commanders. Super video, Hank. Thanks for taking the time to film and get it out there for us to enjoy. Great looking leather.
Leather is so much nicer than Kydex. Great video Hank!
I agree with you I have one of his McDaniels for my 1911 by far just as good as Milt Sparks of and the other big custom leather makers
An idiot can cut and heat form Kydex. Kydex is actually a PVC based material. PVC has a very poor thermal expansion and contraction coefficient. PVC conduit has been known to tear apart #12 gauge steel electrical boxes when the temperature drops a mere 40 or 50 degrees. Imagine trying to draw your gun from a Kydex holster that was set up for good retention when it was 95 degrees out, and now it's 3 degrees! I have damn near tore my pants off trying to extricate a gun from a Kydex POS holster when it was -6 out. Kydex also tears your gun up. Kydex is a great material for people with limited skills, and few tools. It's okay, and it's fine for plastic mass produced guns, but I would NEVER put a Colt Python or a Wildey Hunter in Kydex.
I agree and disagree with the popular opinion. I like leather holsters I have a galco jackass for my glock just for when I want to be fancy or depending on what I'm wearing. I also have a gcode incog. I either carry appendix with the mag caddy or at about 4oclock without the mag caddy for obvious reasons. I prefer kydex for the purpose its rigid and I dont have to worry about temperature changing it as I live in florida so we don't get hot to cold fast. Leather will eventually loosen and can be caught in the trigger guard if you aren't paying attention. Saw a dude get a round in his ass cheek cuz his leather collapsed on him. I love both but if I had to pick I'd go with kydex for rigidness.
Great video Hank! As a leatherworker myself, I really appreciate quality craftsmanship.
Funny with all of the gun videos out there, of all the You Tube vids I watch every week this series with Sam Andrews and his holsters are by far the most entertaining and interesting. I have been looking for a good holster maker for some time and then I just happened on these videos and found a great one. Thanks again, Hank, for doing this series.
Tactical Santa making holster in the workshop!
Thank you Hank and Sam, I am sure that your viewership dictates what type of video to make, but this and the other Andrews Leather video was enlightening, and helps illustrate you get what you pay for. I honestly saw that shoulder rig for the glock, suppressor, and 4 mags, and really haven't stopped thinking about it for months now. I hope that rig is in a movie like one from Michael Mann. I want to save for one!
thank you for seeking such quality of craft and character. youve made me a fan of Sam Andrews. thank you Hank!
I could listen to him explain/teach anything! Great how to videos guys thank you!
Given the ease in which he uses those hand tool, he must have one hell of a handshakes
The Bob Ross of leather art
I love this video. Nothing feels quite like a good leather holster. Especially when it bonds to your firearm after time sweat.
That was fascinating. A work of art.
I could watch him all day.
Dude these by far are the best how to leather holster videos out there. I can't help but think of Sean Connery when he talks lol.
great videos man, I'm subscribing now
These Sam Andrews videos are starting to become like therapy for me. I'm very content right now.
Handmade craftsman American made! Can't beat it! Looking to buy a holster soon
Sam Andrews man I love watching how you make these I will be looking you up in the future for a holster love your saddle style holsters.
Sam Andrews can make extra money doing voice work. That was fascinating to watch.
This guy got a Bob Ross feel to him =)
bob Ross of leather and u sand this side it's a happy little design
+SavagexRenegade401 I was thinking the same thing. :-)
Let’s just AGREE - “Sam IS the ‘Bob Ross’ ” of Guns 🔫 & Holsters. Superb craftsmanship. 👍🏼
Do NOT disrespect this man by calling him Bob Ross. He is CLEARLY the leather side of Bob Vila.
incredible video..... Sam is a true craftsman..... Best quality leather holsters on the planet
Wonderful to see that craftsman at work thank you Hank.
His voice is so relaxing.
I got half way through and had to double check to make sure I wasn't watching The New Yankee Workshop! This was great!
Love watching Sam work. Thanks Hank!
I use mostly kydex but have several leather holsters, I must say none of them (top brands) are on the same level of quality that these seem to be. Great stuff and thanks.
Great Video! It is also really cool that Sam made all the lead character’s holsters and leather goods for the New Magnificent Seven Movie!
Awesome American Craftsmanship! Outstanding video as always Hank!
Amazing video . Air over hydraulic would help with press . Will be ordering tomorrow.
I'll have learned more about leather work on this channel than any other some really excellent tips
