Members Riem Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 Another sheath for a kitchen utensil with a sharp -ish edge: a cheap pizza cutter. Made from some vegtan scraps. Sheath will likely outlast the cutter it is meant to protect.. Still struggling consistently hit the line at the back... I do little projects such as this to practice - looks like I'll have to look for more scraps!

Members battlemunky Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 That ain't looking too bad on the backside. Are you using a scribe line on the back too? Quote
Members plinkercases Posted September 24, 2018 Members Report Posted September 24, 2018 More food cutting sheaths and now I want pizza! Nice idea and well done.

Are you using a scribe line on the back too? Thanks for the affirmation, Munky! No, I didn't scribe this one - perhaps unfortunately. Since the stitch line was on a curve, I scribed the front then marked with an overstitch wheel (I think at 4.5 mm per stitch) and then laid it flat before using the awl to make the holes. If I have to do it over, I'll proceed to the stitch clamp from the overstitch wheel.

Thanks Plinker! I must confess that I'm addicted to pizza, but I can't afford to buy all the time... So I've been known to try my hand at it. Still - I think I'm better at the cutting and eating part than at the baking! 18 hours ago, falcon45 said: Very, very clever. Great job! Thanks Falcon! Appreciate it.

It’s scary in the drawers... Thanks Scooby! And thanks for putting some ideas in my head... You're right - lots of scary and sharp stuff hiding in the kitchen drawer that need trousers... Hmmm - potato peeler sheath? Will have to dream up a design... Or have you made one already? These are actually great little projects to try out ideas and learn from failures... Like using a scribe line on the back to aim for with the awl.

(That's Afrikaans for "Thanks a lot. Appreciate it". And the "baie dankie" sounds much like "buy a donkey"... So it's regularly rendered as that by well meaning Saffers 'helping' tourists and businesses visitors understand some of what they hear locals say.)

alpha2 Posted September 25, 2018 Report Posted September 25, 2018 Why not? Pizza cutter is nothing but a GENUINE round knife! Quote So much leather...so little time.
