Members stormcrow Posted February 13, 2018 Members Report Posted February 13, 2018 Yesterday was a day of two firsts my first knife pouches and wet moulding so I thought I’d keep it small and simple. I enjoyed the process and I’m going to have a go at making some moulds for some other projects. These were done using the knives as the moulds and just stapling the leather as I shaped it to a wood board. Quote
alpha2 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Nice work! I've got a Leatherman that could use a nice holster. I'm liking those copper rivets. I'll have to try those. I suspect the world would fall apart around those sheaths before the rivets would come loose.! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members YinTx Posted February 13, 2018 Members Report Posted February 13, 2018 That is some really fine craftsmanship! Even with the close ups, not a single flaw. amazing.

Members Horsemint Posted February 13, 2018 Members Report Posted February 13, 2018 Those are super nice. I really like the red thread/dark brown combo. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Really great job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Members plinkercases Posted February 17, 2018 Members Report Posted February 17, 2018 Excellent work and I am also a copper rivet fan. The staple gun method is one I like as well. What weight leather did you use for these?
