As soon as I jumped back into the Etsy scene, I started to get bombarded with requests for this replica
Uncharted 3 holster. This item is worn by Nathan Drake, a character in the popular Uncharted video game series developed by
Naughty Dog Inc.
Not only is Drake popular with gamers but he recently starred in a
Subway Commercial.
I made three custom holsters for clients during the Halloween season this year. I have been flooded with requests for this item ever since. I plan to produce a few more. But I do not want to get into the business of mass-production. Each of these holsters takes about 12 man hours to produce because of the all the cutting, staining, edging, riveting stitching and molding required.
They are molded to fit the Colt 1911 since this is the gun of choice for Nathan Drake himself.

My first creation sold this past week while I was away in Thailand. I began with the 1879 Edison bulb. I set out to find an inspiration that would be worthy of the warm light of this vintage bulb. When I saw this antique fire extinguisher, I was sold. I took the brass top and lathed out a hole to fit the ceramic bulb base (which a hand painted to match the patina). I then drilled out a spot for the pull-chain but was unsatisfied with the shiny brass look of the factory screw-on base. So, I replaced it with an old brass pipe fitting. That final touch was to add the cord. I used another brass fitting with a fine patina for the base where the cord comes out. This vintage up-cycled fire extinguisher lamp was purchased for a boys room. I hope he enjoys it.
