    My 4th Project

    I love that design! Very creative! I can't offer any advice, since I don't do any carving...but I'm sure there's others here who can.

    That is one very solid tote bag! Looks great too!

    The technique is shown starting at 2:47

    Ended up scrapping this one and rebuilding/slight re-design.

    Thank you. I've learned a few new tricks for edge work lately (I do all my builds by hand. No powered machines). I still play around and try new techniques, but I'm getting real close to settling on a standard method for doing edges. I'm gonna have to keep working on the photography so I can get the best edge shots though. Gotta do some research for that now when I have the time.

    Skipped over all the drama...but watched the videos. Really great info there! (and I don't even do holsters). The way I see it...there's always something to learn; always room for improvement. (I can't get over that reverse knife technique Sam was using in that holster video! Great stuff!). Good times.

    Is that the 'bishop' color on the tiger thread? It looks really nice with those dye colors!

    Just finished the re-make of the firefighter sheath per customer request (he didn't like the other design). I included an edge view this time...which is challenging to take a good picture of! This one is a left-hand draw; 2nd out of a set of 3.

    Oh, I feel there's always room for improvement in my work. These sheaths are being made for a friend to be given as gifts, so I wanted a standard to meet before I was ready to give them over.

    Thank you everyone for your comments and reviews

    I've lost count...maybe 7 or 8? The problem I kept having was with the stitching (as well as a couple design changes). I finally invested in some Blanchard irons and a Barry King awl blade. Made all the difference!

    After many tries...I'm finally satisfied. Now I get to make 2 more!

    Oh wow. I even zoomed in on the pic too. Ok then, nice machine stitching! :D

    VERY nice! Really love the saddle stitch! Don't see that too often on holsters...usually machine stitched.

    Gave it a good polish and tapped down the stitching on the back. I'm happier with it now. Still need to watch those details on the next two...
  17. verus22
    No doubt. I just wish I'd been paying a little more attention on that one awl punch. :/ Oh well. Start again!
  18. verus22
    Gave it another go. Still a couple mess-ups, but I'll give it another shot later.

    Fantastic work!

    Yep yep. Fail forward fast. I just finished my second prototype for a japanese leather knife cover...and I made plenty of mistakes with both. But now I know how NOT to do it. On to the next one!

    Roger that on the belt clips, WRLC. I was considering that style, but I wanted to keep the thickness down to a minimum. I was thinking of splitting a strip thin and sewing it onto the back, but I was worried about the strength.

    Wrong pic. This one shows the side a bit:

    Since the knife was small it wasn't too bad.
  24. verus22
    Tell me about it...:/

    Added a gusset around the perimeter.
