so i got brave today and decided it was time to put my tools to work.

i have a bunch of scrap kicking around that i got cheap from TLF to practice with...

i've been meaning to make a sheath for a bunch of bushcraft accessories, so i thought i'd start with my LED flashlight.

this is what i ended up with:

lessons learned:

1. punch the hole for the snaps before the project is sewn together. i assembled it first, making the snap mounting a pain...:wacko: never again.

2. bevel and finish all edges before assembly.

3. "clamping" pieces together with a mini clamp makes "stitch hole" punching easier! :yes:

4. staining project before assembly made dying easier than afterward.

i suspect things will go quicker for me, the more projects i build. :yes:

Very nice! Looks like a good, functional design. I got an LED flashlight for Christmas and need to make a pouch for mine as well.

Looks good! I too have been thinking about making one that is combined with a mag holder.
