Members Richard M Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 Not had much time recently due to my real job getting in the way! Here are two items I have been working on, as always any tips/comments welcome. Thanks for looking. Richard. Pouch Axe Sheath Quote Etsy Shop https://www.pangvalleyleather.co.uk/
Members isaac Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 Looks great. Does the pouch open up as photo shows? Clever. Like the axe. Quote
Members Oldtoolsniper Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 I like them both. Any chance on more details on the pouch so I can make one? Looks pretty dang useful. Quote
Members kiwican Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 Love that pouch, i second Oldtoolsniper, can we get some details on that? Quote
Members l2bravo Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 Great work. What is a forager pouch used for? Quote
Members mickthedig Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 Both these are great. I have never seen a forager pouch before but I will will be making one soon. Quote
Members Richard M Posted July 10, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2015 Wow! Thanks for all the interest and replies. The Forager Pouch can be used for anything really, the idea being that you would wear it on your belt as an easy to get to extra pocket. So if you were out walking and came across a black berry bush and the fruit was ripe for the picking then you could unfold the pouch and stash them safely. Or if you were wild camping you could collect tinder and keep it safe for later. The details The pouch is a 9" x 9" pocket simply stitched to form a square (I guess it could be an oblong) made from Hood canvas (as I could not source any waxed canvas). When it is folded in to its leather roll the dimensions are approx 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches. I used a 6/7 oz piece of leather for the pouch and the main piece is 8 1/2 x 3 1/4 The pouch is sandwiched between 2 bits of leather and stitched through both. The inner bit is approx 2 1/2 in sq. The belt loops are also caught by the same line of stitching as it gave a nice clean look. The inner patch can be seen in the pic below and the belt loops in the following one. Is that enough detail? If you want more just ask. Quote Etsy Shop https://www.pangvalleyleather.co.uk/
Members Oldtoolsniper Posted July 11, 2015 Members Report Posted July 11, 2015 Richard, Thanks for detailing that out. I'm going to give making one a shot. It's one of those things you see and wonder why everyone doesn't have one. Plus it's one more use for the smaller leather chunks piling up in boxes. Quote
