GPW 81 - Holster for Leatherman Charge and Bits

This is a commission piece. I got the general design idea from Ian Atkinson at Leodis Leather. Watch his video in the link below if you want to see how a professional leatherworker does it.

Talented Fella! Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share your skills 🙏🏻😀

[@ronigossett6745]

Absolutely beautiful! Best thing you've made so far. Looks totally professional! Great job babe!!

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks Sweetie.

[@RaduMichael]

the best instructional video, way more detailed than Ivan's Leather who keeps the little secrets to himself.
Thank you!!

[@olechuga2]

Sir, an excellent presentation.

[@cedricsoblet2960]

Each detail is well done! Thanks for sharing your "know how ". I also appreciate you show the failures, it makes it a little less unreal 😉

[@GPWoodworks]

I can't show ALL of the failures.... The video would be too long. :)

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Nice job, turned out great. Your buddy should really like it.

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks Lyle.

[@opasworkshop8373]

turned out great man if he doesn't want it or doesn't like it hell I'll take it. Nice job keep up the good work.

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks Opa! He liked it... good thing too, it would have broken my heart to keep it... haha!

[@edwinleach4013]

He should like it. Very nice work.

[@theproudamerican178]

Nice work you are very talented

[@awldune]

Really amazing work! That burnisher has been a big success, huh? So satisfying to use a tool or jig you made yourself.

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks man! The burnisher does work pretty good.

[@DesertBumWoodWorkn]

Very nice leather work.

[@GPWoodworks]

Thank you sir.

[@AshleyScott-ky7qe]

Beautiful!!!

[@GPWoodworks]

Thank you.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Looks great! I thought you had picked up a stitch groover from the look of the first stitches, then saw you using it later in the video. Those things are great. Really impressed with how well your burnisher worked on all those thicknesses too! Also cool seeing you use the knife and stitch pony. It's neat watching you make stuff now and remembering all the previous videos you did of the tools you are using.

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks Caleb... Watched your vids... That's good stuff man! Love the drill press handles!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks! I really appreciate that, I'm brand new as you can tell, haha. I have four more videos I'm editing right now. One of them is up cycling a piano into a bar, I'm really excited about that one.

[@GPWoodworks]

I was going to ask about the piano. That sounds cool.... All CZcamsrs were new once. Your first two videos are better than my first ten videos... Not that mine are great now... LOL!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Haha, thanks! I really enjoy your videos. I definitely have a new appreciation for how much works goes into making a good video.

[@charlietango1635]

Hi there my friend, just one small thing on a constructive comment, if you were to make your wooden mould for the top piece of leather, round at the bottom corners, then malnipulate it down with your hands a bit more before putting your top wooden mould on it, thenput some small slits at the corners, but not too close to the job, it will prevent the leather from splitting and you will have good results every time and less wasteage, but hey!! you got there in the end, and what a nice job you made of it to.

[@GPWoodworks]

CharlieTango 1 Thanks for the tip man!

[@gliddy6282]

Liked and subscribed. Nice work.

[@GPWoodworks]

Thank you.

[@bobo11112222]

[@lesliesilvestri464]

[@bkthapa808]

Perfect

[@tonygloster8829]

Very nice 👍

[@GPWoodworks]

Thanks

[@storm-qu4wh]

Wonderful work my friend Do you add water to the skin to be formed ??

[@GPWoodworks]

Yes. I soak the leather in water before molding it.

[@YourAnMoron]

1:43 when my wife says I own too many clamps I remind her I may have too many wives.

[@GPWoodworks]

Your An Moron lol! that one got me!

[@olechuga2]

Sir, do you take "orders" for such products, and/or its deviations. If so, do you have a fee schedule you mat provide me with? Thank you Sir. Oscar

[@GPWoodworks]

I am not currently taking orders for these. It may be something I do in the future. Thanks for the interest.

[@juanmarcosveralara6189]

Muy bueno

[@jimmyp9105]

What would be a good kit to buy for leather crafting?

[@GPWoodworks]

I tend to pick up individual tools slowly over time (and as I need them).
But for kits, I would start here:
www.tandyleather.com/en/search/?sSearch=leather%20tool%20starter%20kit
There are kits available for good prices from the cheap-o websites too:
www.banggood.com/search/leather-working-tool-kits.html
A lot of leather working tools can be replaced with inexpensive analogs from around the shop... so be wary of the kit option. You will find that some of the tools in the kits will just collect dust.
I hope this helps.

[@jimmyp9105]

GP Woodworks thanks for the help man.

[@wolfsden3812]

That gets a hell ya from wolfsden

[@joeseabert8391]

What did you use as glue?

[@GPWoodworks]

Joe Seabert
Contact cement.

[@muhammadsubhan5348]

Hello brother I like it , Can I make order to yours for my small phone ??? IF OK I wil send size I need ... Please !!

[@CC5unsh1n3]

Where did you get your cutting knife?

[@GPWoodworks]

The yellow and black one is just a cheap-o extendable utility knife.
The round knife is one I made... it's not very good.
The round knife that I use now is from Tandy Leather: www.tandyleather.com/en/product/al-stohlman-brand-round-knife

[@samfernandez470]

Great job! What size or OZ. leather you used? Thanks!

[@GPWoodworks]

I really don't know. I usually buy what "feels right" for what I'm doing. I don't own a leather gauge.
