You are obviously a leather artisan and holding back many things by showing us this simple, so you say, method of making a sheath! Wish I could have seen this 20 years ago when I might have picked up the trade or at least tried. Attention to detail has always been my thing during my adult life. I can only imagine what you could show of your skills if you really wanted to. Great video, I hope it peaks some people's interest into what they could do and what they could create.

I just went through this content, such a pleasant surprise. I went to your old 4 part set of sheath making videos way back because they were the best around (after looking at many others) about 2 years ago. But you came across like you were not into it, like it was a boring job you had to do. Like I would be making video content, but i am not. I kept going back to them though, over and over again many times because the knowledge i needed to know was there. I learnt a lot and have made many sheaths now, After making 3, i did some without going back to your content on the old videos, so thank you for your sound knowledge much appreciated. As you are with your content and videos, i am getting better at making sheaths, but I had not made one for a month or so and i forgot something. Came across this video WOW, so good it's a big change in attitude, like the profesional you are, thanks again for more good learning, its like you want to do it 100%. Many folks will learn from this content if they persevere and keep going back over the videos if they need too, like i did and still do for much of my axe learning. No shame in that folks as long as your are learning.

I apologize if my previous videos seemed like I wasn't into what I was doing. I assure you I was or I wouldn't have done it. Leather work is my passion not my job. I enjoy it very much. I'm glad you where able to learn from them! That makes me very happy to know I helped! I'll work on my camera presentation a little so I don't come off like I don't want to be here lol

I have used both alcohol based dyes and water based dye successfully. I think a lot of it is your finish. I have 10 year old pieces that were done with water based dye. There just as bright as the day I made them. I’ve used blue green pink purple all water based with excellent results. Used to use a dabber to apply but use a airbrush now with better coverage and no streaks. I stitch all my work and use rivets occasionally only on stress points. Everyone has there own way. Peace

@KillingerUSA Жыл бұрын

Yes. Everyone has there own way. This video was intended to show folks how an easy sheath can be made. I also stitch most of my work. As far as the dyes go, I gave not had good luck with the water base. The oil works best for me. No wrong way to do any of this.

Anybody that thinks they can't do this or don't have the time is wrong. Do it little by little. It may take a day or a month. I bought a bag of 8 to 9 oz. veg leather scrapes at a hobbie store. Scrapes were the perfect size for axe sheaths. I marked the stitch holes with a fork. Used a tiny drill bit and drilled holes for stitching. I double saddle stitched mine together, I hate rivets. Burnished it with bees wax. After it was finished I rubbed it down with homemade leather conditioner. It's coconut oil and beeswax mixture. Thanks for the video.

I have watched dozens of videos on sheath marking.. knives, axes.. and have made several. Each one.. different mistakes… This is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen..and thank you so much for adding all the material and tools used. It makes it easy to get the exact same ones we are watching you use. Many times on Amazon there are dozens of the same product. And you end end getting something a little different..,like rivets and buttons! I’ve struggled with getting my stitching lines even and straight, so I’m going to try some riveting! Thanks again!

"Dividers": are what they are called. They make uniform/equidistant spacing a snap! Rivet sets and bucking bars should be chrome faced and polished to a mirror finish... That way the "upset" head and "buck" side will look mirror smooth as well. I don't know jack about leather work.

Thank you for the video. Very nice work and presentation (honest too). I'm about to rework two old axe heads (that I was given & not of any real value) for cutting kindling. And this style of sheath looks very nice on the head. Got a question on your use of a mallet. It seams that you prefer it to say a ball peen or a brass hammer. Do you find that it gives you more control? Keep up the good videos! Cheers.
