I blame it on the beer.

I enjoy axemanship, woodwork, leather work, and blacksmithing content. Your channel touches on all of it, from what I see. I save file folders to use as templates (card stock thickness?) or corrugated cardboard, depending on what I'm making. Sometimes the corrugated mimics the way leather bends a little better.

Glad you like my stuff! I have a lot of templates for different things too, mostly historical shoes and purses. But I didn’t save this template since I don’t plan to produce more sheaths exactly like this one. And it’s really easy to make a new one, should I need to. I don’t think the corrugated cardboard gives you a template that is exact enough for most leather items. As for the discrepancy when folding leather, thah changes a bit depending on what thickness the leather you work with is. So I think it’s better to make a template with some small margin, and expect to trim the piece to fit when you make it. But if you like the corrugated cardbord, just stick to it. Everyone needs to find the methods that suit them the best.

Well done. I glad I caught this video. I have been wanting to make some protective leather for my chisels.

Great! I hope you can take something useful away from it then. The saddlestitch method, perhaps.

Good work as always. Very nice instructions and pro tips and the closeups are great.

Glad you liked it. I hope you get going on some sheaths yourself. Do try the saddlestitch method I demonstrate in the video if you do, it’s not that hard to learn and it makes a big difference to the stitching.

If you want to use leather strings to make a nice detail on your project, you may want to try to do it like the only other "leather-guy" I'm following, and he makes this way better than me; kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYSNj7ZvqbK5fNI.htmlsi=1o92XXa76r1w4QZE I use the method Ola is using and have only meddled twice with leather strings, but I asked Ola if he was ok with me sharing this, in case you want to give it a go.

Do it! And try that saddlestitch method I demonstrate if you do. It’s not that hard to learn, and when you get into it you just do it naturally. It makes a big difference to the seam, both to its quality and appearence.

This was a great vid! Well shot and some hard earned pro tips in this one, using the welt template for the inner stitch line is a good one, ive stuffed up a few double-rows by just trying to eyeball it 😂 Good stuff mate👍👍🪓

Glad you liked it. This is actually my main area of expertise … if I can pass on some of my experience to others I feel I’ve done something useful. The footage of the saddlestitch is probably even a bit better in the videos of the knife sheath on my other channel: youtube.com/@myableways?si=7U3Ikv_SsBAQ7HAT

😊 super projekt,brawo

Thanks. On my other channel, My Able Ways, there’s a playlist of videos from when I made a knife sheath. The footage of the saddlestitch is even more detailed there, if I remember correctly. So feel free to check that out too!

Detsamma.

My knife has this inverted tip at the end where I just take it off and put it over the knife. That makes it easy to snap off the end without it flying off. Your way has a nice ease to it, though... So yeah, I must try that, next time.

Yes, but ’mericans speak in different terms when it’s about leather … they use ounces for that. So I think the leather I use for the sheath is 7 ounces, or 2,8mm.

I memorized that ⅛" = 3.2 (3.18) mm, but fractional inches just make things more complicated. Metric is just easier and more logical if you can work/think solely in terms of it, without too many conversions. Believe me, I have worked with inches for 60 years, and can see the advantages of metric.

I use both systems depending on the situation, but metric is usually easier.
