As a leather worker I was glad to see the project, and then I thought "it would be so easy to make a new cover", but in the end I always like to see usable goods restored. I will have to consider trying to restore old leather in the future rather than just replacing it. Well done sir. Also I now want a vintage "mini torch".

Concerning the stiching, personnally; I don't make any knot at the end, I only make 2 or 3 stiches backward, I cut the thread and melt the end if necessary (for the beginning, I start 2 stiches before the end and then go backward. So the ends are reinforced by double stiches).

So good! Not many people have the patience to do work by hand. It’s a joy to watch you work. May I inquire the brand of the swivel vice seen in your work shop? I would to have one on my workbench. Brett, Anderson ca

another quality restoration, particularly impressed with the sheath rescue, that is superb and brought back from the brink of being scrap, also see you have a few new tools and such in the shop, anyone from back in the day would have been proud to have a shop like you now have, particularly like the jewellers paraffin torch, don't see them often, one pointer with your glue, if you add some charcoal dust and some plant matter it will remain more flexible and so less likely to shatter, have a look at how to make pine pitch glue as there are a few videos on it, very ancient technology that is as well, love the fact that you used pine sap to hold it together though, not many do that now

Bringing things back to life and show how beauty the woods and the Cooper looks like with fine polishing... And at the same time, keeping all things as they where found as much as posible, by not wiping out the passing of time 100% like you did with that blade, and by not making a brand new leather shith..
