Members Talfuchre Posted March 28, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 28, 2009 Alright - so when I made my first sheath - I accidentally cut the pattern the wrong way. This made a lefty. I did not want the leather to go to waste - so I made it up. I tried my hand at a firesteel loop - added a drain hole - and I think it went well! I also tried some different stain and some other tricks. I made some mistakes - but I am learning fast and leather is very forgiving. Check it out and give advice where you see fit: TF Quote
Members Mick Posted September 11, 2010 Members Report Posted September 11, 2010 I tried my hand at forming leather around an object. I have found that it is a LOT more difficult than it seems! I made some mistakes in the placement of my nails - and I will use brass tacks next time - but it went pretty well. I am learning a lot - and I like the finished product: Thanks - and comments are always welcome! TF looks great...my question is about snaps. When I've done snaps, I've done them the other way, meaning I generally put the "female"/socket on with the cap and the "male"/plug on the other thing. Is there a right/wrong way? Sometimes I have problems with them coming apart, but I wonder if my leather is a little too thick or thin...thanks Quote
