Just subscribed to his channel the other day. Haven't watched a lot yet.

These are good books if you are a blade and sheath maker. Internet is great but its nice sometimes to have a book on the bench as you work through something.

Looks cool. I like. Ian is awesome.

That looks really cool. You can probably use that sheath still even and just add a welt to it. Did you glue/cement them together?

Yea I glued them. I have remade the sheath but have now ran into another problem :/

[mick86]

I made another sheath and added the welt as advised. Spider is centered better and is now a redback. But I now have a problem with my dye. I dyed the piece, let it dry and than when I put the clear sealer gloss stuff on it took some of the dye away leaving an uneven washed away look. Can I remove the finish somehow and try again? Or do I have to scrap it and try for third time lucky?

I would'nt feel too bad about it looking "washed out" I think it looks great and the welt looks good tucked down in there like that.

Nice, that'll work.

I don't think the dye job looks bad. What dye and finish are you using?

[plinkercases]

Nice rework of an already good design.
