I wanna thank @Dwight for recently sharing some of the knife sheaths he built. He inspired this design for some fixed blade knife sheath I made for a local knife maker. Welt on all edges. I also engraved the sheaths, as well as one of the blades and handles. I used my laser to create the template out of 1/8" acrylic. If you are interested in a template let me know.

Welcome from SW Missouri! As mentioned...lots of good stuff here.

Great job! that looks fantastic. I also like the patterns going over the edge. Makes it look like it is sitting on top of the belt.

New Knife Sheaths
PastorBob replied to Dwight's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks for sharing! I have a pile on my table as well from a client who makes handmade knives. i really like the sheath design on the left. I think you have inspired me to try that design. Thanks. -
Mounting Indian Head nickle in a key fob
PastorBob replied to TerraKacher's topic in How Do I Do That?
Definitely use a hole punch if you can get one relatively inexpensively. I think you'll be forever trying to cut it with your laser and then you have the cleanup of the edges afterwards. -
Great work!!

Wow! very professional looking.

Pattern for Thumb break duty holsters
PastorBob replied to WMages's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Let me know if you are still needing patterns. I have several styles of acrylic templates available. If interested, just shoot me a PM. -
Welcome to the forum from SW Missouri, USA. I am not really sure to what you are referring. Please expand your question.

Sharp bracelet. Really like the inlay. Thanks - re patterns. It has really blown up. Seems like between the stamps and templates more of my time is spent on them than on actual leather projects.

Welcome from SW Missouri, USA. Glad you were able to join us to share some of your work and show off those patterns.

Looks like you are really enjoying it! Like @chuck123wapati said, that scrap leather is a gold mine for practicing your art. Very fine details!

Really like the carving work on this. I may be odd man out, but my process is: NFO then dry casing tooling dyeing gluing sanding edges to make 'em even stitch burnish edges (this keeps the edges from getting too mushy when wet forming) wet form apply supersheen apply leather balm

Not only are those great looking, but I also like how you have limited the color offering as well. Sometimes with customers, less is more.

Love seeing your work! Amazing how quickly a project can come to fruition. Nice!
-
As others have mentioned, very clean work. Well done.
-
Wow! nice job!

One of the first ones I did was an old Bible. I used 5/6 oz. leather for it. I did some tooling on it as well. It is somewhere between a soft and hard cover.

"That makes sense about dyeing the shield for black. I did burnish the edges to make it clean and last longer one thing I’m curious about is for other shields that are white or red for painting if there is ways to protect it better. " You could use Saddle-Lac spray lacquer. It's pricey, but lasts a long time.
