Members singteck Posted July 20, 2008 Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 Hi guys Have not made one of these for a long time already! What do you think? Thank you for looking. Some advice on how to improve it or just plain old criticism is most welcomed. singteck Quote
Members wildrose Posted July 20, 2008 Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 I really like the design and simplicity of it. Very nice! Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted July 20, 2008 Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 Spiffy! What leather did you use to construct it? Quote
ArtS Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Improve on? Wow, there isn't anything to improve on. Great design. ArtS Quote
Members singteck Posted July 20, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 Thank you :D The leather use is top grain vegetable tanned leather. The strip for the ring is chrome tanned. singteck Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted July 20, 2008 Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 Sorry, I meant what company tanned the leather - Very nice design, BTW. Quote
Members singteck Posted July 20, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 Sorry, I meant what company tanned the leather - Very nice design, BTW. Thank you. I don't know who tanned the leather. Just buy them off the shop and never ask them. Sorry. singteck Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted July 20, 2008 Members Report Posted July 20, 2008 No worries. It's a great looking sheath all the same. Quote
Ambassador abn Posted July 20, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted July 20, 2008 Spectacular! What a beautiful design. Keep those pics coming, my friend! Quote
Members Brumbie Posted July 22, 2008 Members Report Posted July 22, 2008 Very clean design. I like it alot. One question. The small d-rings in front of each belt loop. Are they there for just in case or did you have a specific use intended for them? Quote
Members PeterD Posted July 22, 2008 Members Report Posted July 22, 2008 Thank you for looking. Some advice on how to improve it or just plain old criticism is most welcomed. singteck Looks great to me. Not a criticism or improvement but when I make one I will often put hole in the top fold over piece instead of a snap. Then run the back strap forward enough that the snap fits over the hole and snaps onto the body where the folded piece now snaps. That allows one snap to secure the whole axe. Quote
Members singteck Posted July 22, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2008 Thank you guys Very clean design. I like it alot. One question. The small d-rings in front of each belt loop. Are they there for just in case or did you have a specific use intended for them? The D-ring is used when you wear a baldric with trigger hooks. It prevents wear on the leather loop. Looks great to me. Not a criticism or improvement but when I make one I will often put hole in the top fold over piece instead of a snap. Then run the back strap forward enough that the snap fits over the hole and snaps onto the body where the folded piece now snaps. That allows one snap to secure the whole axe. Sounds like a great idea. Any pictures? Would love to see it. singteck Quote
Members Sharpshooter Posted July 28, 2008 Members Report Posted July 28, 2008 That is VERY nice work.... When I do edge protectors for axes, the poll is left exposed as many users tend to utilize the poll as a hammer and the edge protector can still be masking the axe when it's used in that capacity. Beyond that, it spot on the money. Quote

Thank you Sharpshooter! I do have a version which does not cover the poll. What do you think? I have another one which I did long time ago. singteck Edited August 4, 2008 by singteck Quote
