I'm currently making a wet molded sheath for my Leatherman and am now realizing there was a MUCH easier way. Man, experience speaks

Chuck is one of the best presenters on yt. better than most tv guys.

Good video. This is the first tutorial of yours that I have watched straight through. I learned quite a bit. I am a Surgical Technician, and there are times that a knot being tied, is a bit of a reach. Seeing you tie it, tensioning the string with your finger, is exactly the way it's tied off in the Operating Room. I'm currently starting my 11th of 12 rounds of chemo for pancreatic cancer, and your videos are a great way to keep myself occupied.

I love how Chuck SHOWS you how to make a pattern for things! Very easy to understand and I love to watch him make stuff!

I have been wanting to try wet molding for some time but I have seen some over complicated techniques. Your technique is very simple and the end result is great! I know what my next project will be. Thanks for your very good instruction. I really like all your videos.

Cackling inside! "Everything you need can be found at the link below!" $650 and one tutorial later and you've got a wet formed leather sheath for a box knife! Seriously, all the tutorials I've seen on this channel are great. Chuck breaks things down really simply. I used his tutorial on a standard knife sheath. I've never touched leather before 5 days ago, but I've now got a beautiful sheath even though I used cheap stuff. I'm planning on slowly building up my supply of quality tools from Weaver so that my husband and I can be a team, with me lovingly encasing the knives he makes in beautiful leather. Thank you, Chuck.

Here we go again...Another great instructional vid from the Leather Wizard. I am learning sir...

The leather craft cement is strangely strong. Well put.

Great project. Stitching in a Leather belt loop on the back before you assemble makes a good alternative to a belt clip. That's how I made it this afternoon and it worked very well.

I've learned all of this stuff already, but sometimes I just want to hear Chuck show me how it's done. He's got a really great energy.

You have the most solid sounding table I have heard a leather worker use lol.

That marble tooling slab under my cutting board is a huge help!

What I really love about these videos is that not only do you use simple techniques that have great results and are easy to learn, but it's basically the exact same tools for all projects. So I'd buy a handful of good tools, and can use them to make pretty much anything I want. A couple of tricks shown in a different video also make me think I can finally make use of all that scrap leather I got gifted in a big bag.

That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and following along!

The only “improvement” I’d make is to coat the inside / “rough” (flesh) sides of both pieces - after dying, but prior to assembly - with Fiebings Tankote, which kind of hardens and waterproofs those surfaces. If The sheath is never going to see weather, as could be the case for a box knife sheath like this that may only ever be used indoors, this doesn’t really matter, but for a survival knife or other ‘outdoor’ sheath, it’s a key step. Just don’t put any Tankote on the surfaces you’re going to cement together. Those need to be dry leather. And roughen up the smooth grain-side surface before gluing it. Another good tip Chuck gave in this video, which people might miss, is the value of a fairly weak set of inexpensive clamps. I have made the mistake of clamping my cemented edges with too-strong clamps before and they squish the cement out too much and make too tight of a seam, which actually makes for a weaker bond than one that allows a certain amount of cement to remain between the two layers. You want firm, but not crushed. Love your vids, Chuck!

This guy is smart, kind, and a decent teacher. If you want to learn leathercraft well, and with a bit of humor, and meanwhile with all the tips you need and reminders you need at the right time--for instance 10:40 he reminds us to trim our nails or keep them away from the leather...for those who want TL:DR version...just subscribe, you won't be sorry.

An absolutely fantastic tutorial

Yeah, Chuck's got the common sense and know how to show and do. Always like these videos.

Always enjoy watching your videos Chuck. You explain things simply for those of us who have none or minimal leather experience.

Chuck i saw another crafter use a vacuum bag to mold his leather worked great. I have a food saver vacuum sealer and it works amazing for wet molding.

You're a brilliant teacher. I wish I could learn from you and teach this well. I'll damn well try. Thank you.

I have watched this like 8 times. I have this box cutter Stanley 99e. When I had a knife sheath, it was my most used tool. Now I can't find a sheath anywhere. I am now going to make this one. Thanks bud.

You are a great instructor!

Fantastic. I am learning fast from your great teaching with energy. Thank you

Good inspiration for lots of different tool sheaths. thanks

Awesome! I´m glad I found your channel. I am about to get started. Thanks to you for taking the time to make these vids. Thumbs Up!

So I'll need to get several leather tools to do what you did and since I really like your how to videos, I'll order the tools from you. Thank you again.

Great to see you back Chuck .I find that we are of like minds when it comes to choice of cutting tool I started using it not knowing I should be using a cutting tool that said for leather cutting . I have since purchased every leather cutting knife there is but still go back to the box cutter. Happy trails

Another great video Chuck. The only thing I do differently is attach the clip prior to stitching which I find to be a bit easier for me although if you zone out while stitching the thread can get caught on the clip.

Nice and simple, well explained. This will work for handguns, Magazines, Knives, or anything one wants to carry on their belt. with a little bit of imagination it carries over to purses, boxes etc. one only needs a few tools and they can do amazing work.

Hi Chuck, a couple of suggestions from an old LEATHER SMITH, a couple drops of dish soap and the leather will absorb the water quicker and more completely, I personally like 2 place the clip in another piece of leather, yes there is more sewing, but the tool is not rubbing against the rivet or the clip, I also use plastic rap when forming leather around my projects, no worries when doing it on a gun or other expensive object. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

I couldn´t find a sheath with a clip for my multitool that I liked so now i made one by myself. The fit is spot on and for the first time I think it works and looks pretty nice. Thank you Chuck !
