I LOVE the videos that don´t start with someone saying "What´s up guys..."...just the guy working quietly without overwhelming with useless explanations, just showing the technique. And without boring his audience. You´re great dude, thanks for this.

Dude! That first sheath turned out sweet. Only advice I would give is to semi - compress the mold before installing the hinge. That way there will be more even pressure front to rear. Nice job; building mine tomorrow. ..

3:50 No knife, no bandaid... 3:55 Knife + fresh Bandaid. Coincidence? Thanks for the video.

Honestly, this is one of the best videos about kydex on here. Zero talking, the editing was great, and the steps are easy to follow.

I remember when every DIY video on KZfaq was like this. Now everyone's ruining their videos trying to be fancy about it. I appreciate you and your work! great video!

Clamp all together then screw hinge on, so you get pressure even at the back!

good pacing, editing. no rambling. Nice finished product. what's there not to like?

Anybody complaining about the price , fold up a beach towel and stand on it. Works perfectly

Love the ambience of the radio coming in and out

I wish some of my friends could take this guy's advise and just finally be quiet.

the fact you have The Black Keys on in the background is enough of a win for me here.. the rest was all a bonus!

Toying around with the idea of pressing holsters for some of my tools and things I normally carry in my bags for carpentry

brilliant idea with that foam mat. i almost paid 30$ for special kydex molding thermal foam. and here you got cheaper solution. thank you very much

Excellent no thrills instruction. Well done Donylyn!!!!

Thank you for doing this diy. I am a beginner at this thing called kydex and I learned an inexpensive way to make a simple press that can do a lot of different sizes and styles. Ignore the anal retentive peeps who nit-pik and base that on semantics. You did a great job and I thank you. You helped me learn and grow in confidence that I can do this and do it without going tail over tea-kettle in debt. Keep up the good diys my friend....

By far the simp;est press I have seen. And do neat. Great idea on the foam.

I laughed out loud when I saw you recycle the feet 🤣

Saw band: 300$ Sander: 250$ Mini oven: 150$ A+ presentation though. No stupid intro, no rambling, no nonsense. Great video.

Love how you can easily make it larger for bigger knives will definitely be using this at some point

One of the best Videos on KZfaq

Very good video, like the informative gestures rather than mindless talking. You make it seem so easy!

Thumbs up, for the sheath, and Spoon

Well done. First video I have ever been able to watch that had no one talking. I'm doing this tomorrow. Thanks.

I have not long learned how to make knifes and the numbers of them are building up. There are some crying out for a sheath. Thanks to you problem solved. Thanks.

Building a kydex press and your video came up first when I searched. I can see why, excellent video, just what I needed!

Impressive, very impressive. I am thinking about getting into this as a side hustle.

No words. Just wisdom

A great video that said it all without any blah blah blah blah. Thanks!

I absolutely love that knife design! I would EDC that. Lately I've been carrying the Bastinelli BB Drago 2" fixed blade

I’m going to make my own Kydex press using some of these methods but the only thing I,m going to do is press the whole thing down just a bit when I install the hinge just so I get a better snug press when I use it & I,m not going for the grommet look I don’t need them so I’m using black rivets instead . I want my sheaths for my Tomahawk , Bowie , & my Skinner knife to fit on a wide belt so I can interchange them if need be . I don’t need them to click into the sheaths but just to be snug enuff to not fall out & I think I,m going to use a Dremel to cut all the excess Kydex off as well as doing a better part of the sanding .

Awesome,Kydex looks so easy...maybe I should save myself some money and make one of these presses and make my own sheaths...I recently bought a Bradford Guardian 3 and a Bradford Guardian 4,while the sheaths are functional,I want to replace them with kydex sheaths..buying a kydex sheath for these knives from Bradford with a Tec lock included will cost me around $100..for $100 I could make them myself and then have enough materials left over to make sheaths for other knives,guns,ferro rods,multitools,flashlights,etc

No narcissist talking and explaining their lives struggles before the real subject of the video. Well done and thanks. I’m just going too use Chicago screws and leave long eyelets cutouts. The eyelets dices are expensive and not good at all if I go the cheap way. I only need it for one knife, a Ontario Ranger RD6, somehow difficult too find sheath for it.

Mad skills, bro. Great design on the end result. Stay sharp!

best no bullshit diy video on this ever. Quick/simple/good editing! Thank you sir

Good video. Short and straight to the point with no extra B.S.👍

I love the commentary simple and to the point subscribed

That snap at the end is so satisfying

I'm digging your music selection.

Nice video I like it a lot my only recommendation would be use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat the foam it helps give a more defined appearance especially with firearms

I did this myself and yeah it worked fine the first time. The problem is the cheap pad he used for it. He got that at harbor freight. Hot kydex changed the shape of the pad. You have to continue to change out the pad every new job you do. Otherwise you get line and uneven molding. Look for a better pad, I am.

unbelievable it is that simple thanks for showing

I like how halfway through the video he has his thumb wrapped

Saw this linked off of FB. Will be making one today. Great simple how to on both the tool and process.

You rock wish I had found DIY kydex sooner

Safety Sandals! Liked the video. Cheap and effective it looks like.

You are a gifted smith. Just great!

Perfect. Serene. Badass.

Nice work, just a idea for you... try making a belt loop and riviting that on your knive holders. I guess you could make one piece versions. Good luck with your makers skills!.

That's an amazing price for that big ass board. Even raw 2x4 would be more expensive.

Great video. Concise, to the point and informative at the same time. Thank you.

No bullshitting around with words that nobody wants to hear. Just action. I like that!

I’m doing this. I have some ideas for unconventional items leaving me little option other than doing it myself.

I love the kidex press that is badd a** idea very simple on a budget that's great turned out awesome

Great video, thumbs up for Beck playing in the background. 5:12

Ok you tube! dont get me wrong I love all the endless audio commentary.........but ..... For the love of God people this is how you make an amazing how to video! Absolutely awesome that sheath came out phenomenal. I'm literally going to go buy the stuff tomorrow to do it myself I love the way that sheath turned out that was flawlessly made both video and sheath. Holy crap well done bro!

awesome press! I might have to peel up a few mats from the basement and give this a go myself!

Fantastic informative video sir thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍

I like it. Always wanted to make one myself but never tried it, I’m going to now. Thanks.

The song playing from 4:24 - 4:48 is World Of Illusion by Pretty Lights.

A man of many words!

Nicely done.

Not bad for less than 20 $ nice sheath and great looking blade

Thanks for the vid man there are so many awesome knives out there with crappy sheaths that ruin the EDC of it. Kydex is the best option thanks again

Nice video. Always cut away from yourself or at least side to side in front. Unless you love stitches or deep puncture wounds. Ifyoure using a Dewalt driver, the sheath is so you can slide it down to keep bits from jumping off screws.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Great, helpful content!

NICE!!! Thanks for this vid! Everything from materials, low cost & results. (And not a long vid!) Heading to the store(s) now to build one.....

I may have to do this. I have everything except the hinges. All left over from other projects. Thank you for sharing.

I was starting to think you didn't own power tools. Great vid brah

Very clever. And effective. Plus, economical. Great.

Nice video even the built was described I like this little knife

Cool! I needed 250 of them by 8 am tomorrow.

Nice one!! Good job!

Loved your presentation ❤

This title needs an update. That $5 piece of lumber costs $87.50 right now. And I was going to question that saw he was using until I saw the gray Curve cologne tin on the table. It all makes sense now. Carry on, brother.

Great, thanks for the vídeo. I'm watching from Brazil. Obrigado!

Awesome man. Perfect video. No BS getting it done

Yep, building one this weekend.

Well done! Great video

The black keys..nice

Excellent video, well done on the finished product.

Well done. Impressive first time. Congratulations

DIY Kydex Press Materials, $21, Harbor Freight Arbor Press for Eyelets, $150, Kalamazoo Belt Grinder, $470. First Kydex Sheath, Priceless (well maybe $641)...

What a funny hand saw

I keep finding ways to DIY, but It involves buying specialized tools that I'll never use again, so it's just cheaper to buy the damn thing yourself. This is the first time I found a project that is cheap enough for me to actually go out and buy it for a one time project... and it's something I'd end up using multiple times throughout my life lol

Very nice and informative video!!!

"After watching video makes jig and kydexes EVERYTHING!" All kidding aside well done. Going to make one myself. :)

Nice!! I have made some knife sheaths and holsters in the past but I don't have a press. Your encouraging me!! Nice job.

Good work, it forms the Kydex very well!

Great video, short and to the point

Great project. I dig your taste in music!

2021: Wood $6000/sq ft. Might be better to make it from gold instead. Maybe MDF won’t be too much. Awesome - making it with something if not solid pine.

The trend in knives seems to be going to the design you have there or the general look. I personally don't care for it but I am sure it has some kind of use. The press id good however. I gotta make one of those

Nice job. I bet that knife is sharp (Bandage on Thumb) lol

Great Idea, man Ive had a drymount press sitting in my garage for years. That would be perfect for this. What an idiot I am.

Nicely done video

Impressively simple! Thanks for the great video.

good job... I am going to try this for myself for sure.

Great work

Great job!! Real quality too. I believe you will do well making Holsters, magazine holsters too!!

very good informative video without a word. lol. thanks!
