You do nice work! I make many knife sheathes for a couple of knife makers here in Montana. One suggestion I would make is to use painters tape to the back of your carving pieces so the leather doesn't distort. I like the way you go about laying out your pattern. It is quick and simple. I'll keep watching for your videos. No matter how long we do this work we can always learn something new. God Bless. Mike, 3MP Custom Leather Kalispell Montana!!

Hi Mike! I really appreciate the compliment coming from another leather worker! I never thought about stabilizing the back of the piece, thanks for sharing the tape tip. Quick question, when you remove the tape do you find that it pulls the flesh on some leathers, or do you skive it down to avoid this? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

@wyomingwright

Жыл бұрын

​ @Twisted Oak Tape on the back of the leather piece is a common method to keep your leather square while carving. I've found it does pull some of the fibers when you remove the tape, but not too bad. Leather that has already been cut to thickness doesn't pull out as bad as leather that naturally has a lot of loose fibers. Using painters tape rather than other tapes helps with that too. Great work!

while making a sheath for the custom/clone Becker BK-2 I was making I wanted to have a firm knife retention without out straps and snaps and simple water molding works out nice for knives which stay in a drawer but not so much for a daily user when the leather softens and the shape goes away. I came up with an idea that to this day is still working and thought id spill the beans to everyone. What I did was I wet molded the shape as you would do normally but once the leather had dried out I coated the inside of the shaped areas with thin CA glue (super glue). Just a light flooding of the curved areas. Then used some tape and drew the shape just a bit tighter and allowed the CA to harden for a good while. I then lightly scuff sanded the inside to knock down any bumps or stiffened leather fibers and that was that. It turned the leather into spring leather! I have done this with success on several projects now. Be sure to run a test sample to avoid a real world surprise due to variations in products used.

Well thank you for the great compliment! I'm hopeful the tutorial will be able to help others progress in the craft so I'm happy to hear this. So the entire process probably took me a little over a week to complete with the addition of shooting video. If I worked on it full time, I'd say about 2-3 days. There is a bit of a waiting period between casing the leather, drying the carving before color, and a few other intervals before starting each major step of the project. I try to not to rush the drying process of the carving and coloring because if either is too wet, you're going to get unwanted marks, or blemishes. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful sheath, compelling tutorial and wonderful workmanship. Just curious...if this sheath is a left horizontal mount, is the knife hard to get out of the sheath when needed? Thank you for sharing it's story...

@TwistedOakHandmade

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Robert! Good question. The sheath is versatile and can be worn in both directions on either side, or on the backside. Of course the tooling option on this sheath shows it most likely worn on the right. The only two factors impeding the ease of drawing the knife is the tightness of the sheath itself and the wings created at the top to keep the knife in place. I have a personal EDC knife with a similar sheath design which I've been using for about 10 years, and the blade can be drawn single handed fairly easy, yet still holds good retention. Thanks for watching!!!

Where did you get the idea for that pattern? Amazing! And as I've said before, I really love what you are able to do using the airbrush. You have some of the original work I've seen.

Hey Mark! I've always toyed around with torn flesh patterns over the years. Created a lot of images in the past for t-shirts, CD covers, logos, etc. Just figured out a way to transition the idea over to leather and it seems to work out pretty well. The sheath in this video uses the pattern in smaller detail which I really like, but I've created bigger layouts with good results. Just depends on the overall piece being created and it's size.

Amazing leatherwork, great video and narration. Definitely a master class performance. I missed one element, it looked like you free handed the stitching holes. How did you line up the opposite side so perfectly?

@TwistedOakHandmade

Жыл бұрын

Hey Jeffrey! Thanks for the compliment. When stitching by hand I make sure to run the stitching wheel exactly from center on each side while following the stitch groove placed around the border, making sure to double check that the quantity of holes are exact for both sides. Once the marks are punched with an awl, and barge is laid down, I use extra stitching needles as alignment pins starting with one at the tip of the sheath, another near the middle, and one more near the top. As I work from the bottom up, adhering the glued sides, I'll use the needles as leverage to align the holes, and will leave the needles in place as I stitch. As I stitch down the sheath there are times the holes will fall out of alignment. When this happens I will use an awl to find the hole on the other side to help the needle through. Hope this explanation helped answer you question.

Amazing sheaths! I have a buddy that says if you use diamond punches to make your sheaths dirt will get into the holes and rot the tiger thread. He also says you have to use a double wrap locking saddle stitch knot on every stitch. After I make a sheath, the holes are still kind of visible because I use punches. He uses a tiny handmade awl, and his stitches sit right next to each other. Do you think he is right, or do you think it's overkill to go to that much effort stitching? Thanks for any reply, great video!

@TwistedOakHandmade

Жыл бұрын

Hey Evan! Personally speaking I rarely use the diamond shaped stitching chisels simply because of the hole size they leave, and they make hole alignment a challenge. The locking saddle stitch is worth the effort and ensures if the thread breaks along the stitch line the rest of the loops are held in place. I don't think dirt is the real issue in regard to rotting the stitching but is most likely due to moisture, and oils soaking in the leather. Thanks for watching.
