Sorry. It is a 3 1/2 to 4 inch blade. Needs to choke up on the handle about 1/2 I suppose.

Anybody got a pattern for a paddle style sheath for a 5 inch hunting knife?

I made several a while back both ways. People thought they were cool, gave a few away, nobody bought any. I still enjoy making them, especially for lever guns.

Mount them on a little trailer with a bench seat?

Not sure why all the pages of this won’t link. I copied and pasted a link from a leatherwork.net page. I have the hole pattern printed out if it’s lost. My net skills are slipping.

Vehicles with both metric and SAE fasteners, plus Torx, plus Phillips screws. Have to drag the whole shop under the car to test sizes. As for the T shirt, they usually have the seams closer together in the back of the neck than the front. Thats the only way I can tell without putting it on wrong.

Spring is back in Tennessee and we are ready.

I figured it would make your lever rust. Here is one that would be easy. Just a strip the length of the lever with holes punched and braided on. Big loop lever, standard lever, pistol vs straight grip would vary in length. https://www.amazon.com/Handcrafted-Leather-Lever-Wrap-Action/dp/B0BWTMX59S/ref=asc_df_B0BWTMX59S&mcid=01ae33d3797c3e7b86ffc385894f0f80?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920941687458&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520405611133&psc=1

Do you not just take wide lace and wrap it it till you run out of lever?

Cheap leather which looks fine till you finish the project and dye it and a big spot in the center wont take any dye.

I mounted a piece of conduit on the speed control foot treadle to feather the clutch motor. Worked OK, but I needed that hand to guide the leather.

I have my first machine sitting in the back of my shop. It is the same model Lucy Arnaz used in the I Love Lucy episode where she sewed her sleeve into the dress she was making. Bought it for leather. Will sew one thickness, not 2.
