This is what an instructor/teacher should be like. They are so enthusiastic and you're so busy listening and learning, that you have no idea how much time has past. And when he's done, you're ready to jump up and start your own! Thank you Chuck!

When I first saw the length of this series of videos, I was like “nah,man, I got no time to sit through all that;” but the presenter was so enthusiastic and engaging, here I am. Really well done videos! I am totally convinced that a beautiful sheath like this is completely within my power now 😁.

@@WeaverLeatherSupply ye cheers Chuck. Insperation . I found a big busted ole French knife at the junk yard. The owner give it to me as a gift. I cut it into a nice shape Bowie knife and got it balanced on the bolster guard. I'd like to be able to throw it. I could throw a Bowie as a kid and never miss. So I custom balanced this one to my hand. I'll etch the blade with a design. BUT I wanted a different looking sheath. I was thinking of a leather front sheath and a aliminium backing but not sure how to fix it together. Maybe I'll rivet it all around. But like the idea of leather lace in a cross design all around. Maybe with the sheath 5/8 bigger than the blade. But the aliminium flat sheet backing will be cut into the the belt loop with two slots. Do you think it will work. And do you think I can pull leather lace around it and make it strong. I'd probably have to glue it and add a spacer. Then I can tap out a design into aliminium before I put it together. Are there any disadvantages with a metal backing. I wanted something solid because it's not blade heavey didn't want it rolling on me. . A long message but. Thanks for your reply. I lived in America for eleven years. In the South. Great customer service and follow up. England got zero customer service. Thanks again. Maybe you got a suggestion. It would help me on my first knife and sheath build. Have a good day. Adrian

I punch my hole in the pieces separately Chuck. The beauty of the chisels is that they are precise and if I'm careful the holes all line up. I cut my welt to the exact same size as my sheath and I put a lite stitch groove in it as well and after I punch the holes with the chisel I go back over them with a drill and make the holes extra large. When I glue it up for sewing I line my starter hole using thick needles top and bottom in three holes, lines up perfectly every time and I never have any problem stitching. Obviously it took a couple of trials before I perfected my system, but it looks very professional. I sell my sheaths to other knife makers who don't do leather very well. I have one friend who uses Kydex, but gets requests for leather often. Oh oh Chuck, your sheath has the rivets and the back of the snaps exposed where they can scratch the knife's handle. I sew the strap and line the snap so it doesn't scratch the handle. I learned this lesson the hard way. I also sometimes place the snap where it doesn't come in contact with the handle too.

Hi Chuck. Thank you very much for the demonstartion. I just finished the stitching on a leather sheath for my son's toy wooden dirk last night using your techniques. All went well and he's really pleased with it this morning! Went off to school very happy! I shall start something else soon a bit more complicated, this was very enjoyable abd satisfying. I especially found the angling of the needles as you pull them through a real finger saver! All the best!

Excellent series Chuck! I always run the tines of my chisels over beeswax before every hit. That way it makes it easy to pull it back out. I've always cut my pieces to exact size but I think I will start cutting them bigger and trimming to size after glueing like you. It really seems to cut down on the sanding of the edges.. Ps - it's nice to see some leather craft videos hosted by someone with personality and enthusiasm. Well done!

Chuck great video and i appreciate the time and attention to detail you exhibit while explaining the steps. If it is possible could you do a video on a nice leather rifle sling with a padded section that is adjustable across the strap. I don't know if you have ever walked through the woods without a great sling on your rifle but i have and it can be a painful bother and i would love to make a proper one. Once again thanks for the video and keep it up!
