First off, Happy New Year and all the best for 2019!

We here at Beaver Mountain Works were closed over the holidays but that doesn't mean we were not busy. We finished off some major projects, one of them being this custom hand made long-range shooting bag.

The customer came to us with a bag that he owned. It held up for many years but now it desperately needed some repairs. At the same time, our customer was looking to get a new bag made, this time one that was custom to his wants and needs.

In this week's video, you see both, the original bag that we repaired as well as the new bag, custom hand-made by us.

By the way, if you haven't subscribed to our Youtube channel yet, we'd love it if you would do so. We would like to get to the magic number of 1,000 subscribers! We dream it - you can help us make it 🙂

If you don't live close enough to come visit us at our shop but you'd still like to order a custom handmade knife sheath that fits your knife, you can send us a template. 

In this week's video, Mark shows you how to make the template, all you need is 

• the knife you want a sheath for
• a piece of cardboard (part of a cereal box works great) 
• a pen

First, he talks about the pancake knife sheath and how to measure your knife to order one. Then at around minute 2:30 he shows you how to measure for a regular knife sheath. 

Watch the video below, and if you have any questions, please give us a shout, we'd love to hear from you.

This week we are talking about embossing on leather. 

Embossing stamps personalizes your items and gear. We have an assortment of different stamps available to choose from including

• letters and numbers in several sizes (1/2", 3/4", 1"), 
• Native designs,
• 3D stamps like black bear, grizzly bear, horse etc, 
• Military, Coast Guard, Marine etc
• Flags
• Graham Howard Designs (R.I.P. my friend)

We can do the embossing manually or with our press. Depending on what colour the item with the embossing has we highlight it or not and we can also highlight it in gold or silver. 

Check out the video below to see how we do it.

Howdy,

This week’s project is a non-invasive butt wrap that we manufactured for one of our clients. If you don’t want to drill into your stock and put a stud in, this solution is for you.

We put the stud onto the butt wrap and in addition, the butt wrap is laced. We could have done it with snaps but we prefer to do something that is practical and snaps can break down in the bush, ties not so much.

Instead of initials this butt wrap, and the sling as well, feature one of our beautiful stamps, this one is a grizzly bear in silver on black.

Check out this video and start dreaming of how you could pimp up your rifle. Remember:

YOU DREAM IT - WE MAKE IT

This week we talk about leather holsters for the Colt 1911, first a standard, general purpose holster, not lined and not fitted.  

The second holster is high-end, lined and form fitted to the gun. It's from the Western Series and fits within the wild bunch :-). It gives you the look of the early nineteen hundreds before the military holsters came out. 

Just what the competition shooter wants! Check out this weeks video:

We continue talking about shoulder rigs this week, this customer came to us and said,

"I love your shoulder rig, but I bought one of those Chiappa Scout with the full-length stock and the short barrel. I'd love to have a holster for it when I go out in the bush."

He also didn't just want the standard holster but the lined version and in addition, he has a scope on the rifle that he wanted a cover for so when he is walking in the bush it's not filling up with leaves and dirt.

Quite a special set-up that requires a lot of customization, so check out in this weeks video how Mark built this holster shoulder rig.
