Members gamli Posted April 20, 2016 Members Report Posted April 20, 2016 Thsnks, Here's the seam. I made the chape by gormong copper sheet around the bottom of the scabbard, then fitting a piece of copper into the open end. The whole thing was soldered together. Quote
Members grmnsplx Posted April 20, 2016 Members Report Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Dimicator just posted a scabbard that he is working on. He wrapped the core with leather flesh-side out (grain in) and then stitched along the edge and trimmed the excess. Then he removed the leather, moistened is and put it back on turning it so the seam is hidden. Thoughts? https://www.facebook.com/266934476773420/photos/a.445842678882598.1073741902.266934476773420/803076186492577/?type=3&theater Edited April 20, 2016 by grmnsplx Quote

Seems like a lot of work. Why not just do a hidden edge-flesh stitch on a butted seam, like the Vikings used to use. Here's my latest scabbard Quote
Members grmnsplx Posted June 29, 2016 Members Report Posted June 29, 2016 Looks excellent! what is a "hidden edge-flesh stitch on a butted seam" exactly? On my one and only sword scabbard I did a butted seam. It was very difficult of get it butted up nicely and was rather uneven. Any tips? Quote
Members Harry Marinakis Posted June 30, 2016 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2016 hidden edge-flesh stitch on a butted seam This link has a diagram, they call it the edge-flesh butt joint: https://banneroftripoli.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/shoes-acceptable-styles-and-how-to-make-a-pair/ The flesh side is on the inside, so when you're done you do not see any stitching.
