My utility knife-box cutter has served me well for a year and a half.

Thank you Chuck, Dwight and Tom as well. I will definitely also try out eBay and google business.

Thanks Bob. I never considered checking for other forums like this. I will check out my options. Ren Fest is upon us so I will check them out too.

Hey guys. I am wanting to sell my prices but am unaware of everything out there. I was told Etsy was not good because of all the business stuff I have to deal with. Tried Fb marketplace but no luck. Any suggestions?

Very nice

Very nice!! It looks like you came a long way from 7 years ago! This is inspiring to me.

Thank you Chux. I will be searching for patterns.

Very nice indeed, Chux. I would Love to know how to make a good bifold but due to internet connection speed and unavailability at work to view YOUTUBE, I just rely on designs and descriptions to make my stuff. If you have any good design pictures or websites with designs feel free to share with me. I’d be proud to make something like you did and show it off.

Very nice. I’m working on knife sheaths right now and definitely noticed some flaws after uploading the pictures! One thing I ALWAYS have trouble with, however, is hammering the snaps into place. It will take me some time and plenty more snaps to make mine turn out as good as yours did.

Thank you. I will check this out.

Thank you! I will implement this stuff into my next projects!

Very nice indeed! Thank you for the tips. I will definitely do that next time!

Hey guys. I’m trying again to make leather pouches and bags and am confused on how to sew them without the stitches showing. I sew then flip it inside out right? Is there an easy way to explain it to me or do you have pictures on it? (I could just look on YouTube but I don’t understand the videos sometimes.). I want to make some pouches for some of my hardware since I don’t have a tool rack yet.

Thanks Bob!

Hey guys. I found Some post screws. Do those work the same? Also, I found some canvas as well. Thanks! Next question I have in this piece I’m carving and dyeing. I’ve done this multiple times, but do I carve and then dye a piece? Or should I dye and then carve and tool?

Awesome! Thank you guys! Thanks Tug! I will check it out later.

Thank you guys. I did sew it some more however. I don’t know what welts are but I’ll look it up unless you guys may have a good description. Posting s couple more with the stitching. I know they are definitely uneven, but I was in a rush at the time and didn’t measure it correctly.

Any helpful advice for this sheath I just tried making? I used 2/3 oz leather; short rivets; line 20 snaps (which barely worked—I hate snaps); beveled the best I could; burnished with a slicker and homemade wax conditioner; Sewed a centimeter of brown thread and burned the ends. And burned RL into it and dyed with a leather finish. First image is finished. 2nd is unfinished.

Hmmm. Never thought of that. Know where I can find some canvas?

I use wire cutters. No mess.

Thanks for those photos. I think sheaths are on my list of to do’s but still working with flat stuff for now.

Hey! Welcome! I have been trying to work on my tooling and carving and I’ve got a long way to go too.

Thank you. I will skive first and if all else fails, I may do the Chicago screws. Thanks friends.

Thanks Bob. I did dye the edges and burnished some more. I think it looks and feels a lot better. The only problem I am having right now is going from a rivet for the buckle to a snap. I snapped the rivet off and took the buckle off for now, but need some good snaps that will go through the thick leather I am using. I tried some 20 line but they are a little short.
