Looks awesome! Do you have any guide on making this? tutorial or wiring schematics? Results are awesome! Can you show how the bottom plate looks like? Do you insert a dye in place, or is it all once piece?

Where did you get your 632 thread?

thanks guys!

It is 5 layers on the bottom, skived down to 4 on the side. I used dremmel after glue up. Then I used diamond Awl while stitching.

Duane, it looks bigger on pictures than in real life The sheath if for my brother, he makes knives and so everything he has is razor sharp, I wanted to make sure the sheath would protect him lol. (He shaves with that axe)

Just finished another sheath this week for a small axe. I dyed the face and left the edge in natural oiled color. Hand stitched, and waxed with beeswax/neatsfoot mix Comments/critique is really appreciated.

How much shipped to Wilsonville OR 97070?

Bruce, got that Chase from you. Works perfect on all the leather I have. Splits my chrome tan piece just perfect. I am having my brother make a second blade for it out of surgical steel so I can have sharp edge all the time

Chief, Billy, that's the boxes I have been looking at yesterday. I will probably get those too. Ill get the label machine out to organize everything. Should look pretty good. Thanks!

I am slowly obtaining more and more hardware, snaps and rivets. How do you guys organize everything? Tips are greatly appreciated!

Stella202, I got all the leather and all the dyes from her yesterday. They still have lots of hardware available and hand tools.

yup, glad to help

MonicaJacobson, the process for the edge of the punch case if pretty simple. You simply stitch the liner (face down) to the face of the leather, then apply contact cement on both ends, flip the lining carefully while stretching the edge line. See pictures below for reference.

Thanks nrk, its very simple and Ive been liking it a lot. I have been using it since I've made it and its great. Love the money clip. Its finally useful and not its not adding bulk to the wallet. I used a scrap chrome tan leather that is around 3-4oz that I picked up at a local leather shop. The owner didn't know what it was exactly.

Im looking for a manual splitter/skiver. Have around $400-500 budget. Let me know if you have one laying around. I will put it to good use!

I would want to see the sheath without the thousand filters on the photo

Thanks camano ridge and Tip for the support! I will definitely apply all criticism in my next project. Im learning as I go, and having real fun with it! I only have a few belts and other small projects behind me, so this was my first large project. Before stitching a belt I need to make a pony, because right now its just my knees and that hurts after a while

Thank you Modad2010 for the encouraging words I have yet to stitch the belt. Its gonna be a lot of work, and I am debating whether or not get a machine to stitch. Dont have the money right now. I gave the holster to my friend and he said its one of the best ones he has felt on him before. That made me feel really good, as it was my first holster. He said my angle was perfect for him to draw from (phew). So overall I am pleased. I can only improve from here billybopp - That makes complete sence now. I will try to modify that part next time. Thanks all for advice!

Dwight, Thanks for the supporting criticism! 1. the definition in the back is about 1/4" is that still bad? Holster felt pretty comfortable (I have nothing to compare it to). the mag holder did feel a little funny, and since its a full size gun, it felt out of place inside the pants. How do you mold that only one side gets molded? When I shove the gun in, both sides bulge out automatically. 2. What do you mean wrong places? can you elaborate? I followed other samples I found online and made stitching as close to other images as possible. I do think I could have made stitches 1/8 -3/16 closer to the gun. I was afraid that the gun would not fit the holster when wet molding. I drew up the templates and so had no idea what was right or wrong. 3. Yes I agree on this, but I already made it and wasnt gonna change it at the end. 4. I dont undersand this.. can you elaborate please? 5. I agree, I already glued my first side before remembering to put the nut in between the leather pieces. I learned as I went Thanks again for your comments!

I have been playing with basic project for last couple of months, and my friend asked me to make him a IWB holster for his SIG. After lots of reading and research I sketched up a pattern that I liked based on other projects around, and gave it a shot. Made a mag holder as well and a double layer belt (haven't done stitching yet). Loops are held by DOT one directional snaps. Works great. Entire project was hand cut and stitched. Oiled, dyed, waxed and buffed. I am happy how it turned out. fits the gun real well. What do you guys think? I am sure there are plenty improvements I can do on the next one, but I was learning as I went on Let me know if you have suggestions or comments. I have more pics of the build if you guys are interested. I have documented every step haha.

Stevie, congrats on the buy! I was gonna bid on it, but I had people over and totally forgot to bid Lucky you!

Bruce were you the one that got it?
