Thanks Dave for all you videos from blacksmithing to bushcraft to trapping.
Excellent workmanship Dave. I especially like the way you kept things in perspective with the period of the axe when you got down to the closure lace. Simple, functional, and ultimately reliable. That's how they did it back than and their items lasted (as you said) "a looong time".
Thanks for the pointers, I just started making my own leather gear. I always learn so much from your videos. Thanks Dave, keep up the good work!
Cool! You can soak the leather in warm water then form the leather around the axe head and it will keep its shape when it dries.
Brilliantly simple tutorial, thanks for taking the effort to make and share this video Dave. Regards from London ~Peace~
Great little two part video. Nice to see some leather work being done. Reminds me of when I was in boy scouts.
Nice job on this project! They do make an inexpensive tool ($5 or less) for creating evenly spaced hole marks on leather or fabric. You can buy them from a leather supply like Tandy leather supply. It looks like a handle with a wheel on it with a bunch of awl points... You just roll it down your stitch line and it makes marks where you need to punch holes. Even holes every time. Looks like you were doing pretty well but some folks (like myself) need the assistance getting alignment to look right, and not having a line that moves left and right as it goes along. Also they make a very cheap $2-3 tool for cleaning up the edges on leather projects like this and leaving a nice chamfered edge. Much quieter and more traditional than a grinder :)
Great project Dave. Thanks for sharing with us. You guys take care and be well.
great video as always,now all we need is a traditional leather knife sheath
I would enjoy seeing a video on how to make a Bombers hat. What I have in mind is a leather outer shell, a wool inner shell and topped off with fur.
Very nice Axe Mask. Simple and straight forward. I've been needing one for my tomahawk. Thanks.
I love everything about these 2 videos!
Very nice! I have made a few of these myself. I also double stitch, but have been criticized for doing so. I incorporated belt loops on mine.
Definitely like the leather thong approach. Buttons have a tendency to break over time and are harder to fix. If that lace breaks in the field it's easily replaced with bank line or natural cordage until you can find some more thong.
Nicely done Dave! Looks great
Great tutorial Dave, I've just got an axe and need a mask for it.. This is a great design I will be having a go at.. Thanks again.
Nice demonstration Dave. Thanks.
Great leather work Dave.You're the man.
well you have given me yet another project to work on, thank's for all the info Dave.
Nice:) Love the video. I think the leather lace idea is great..but..I would probably have used a small wooden toggle sewn tight to the front side of the outer flap about 2/3 of the way up centered with the handle...and then would have just made a leather loop that came through in the same area you put your holes..from the backside..just long enough to be able to snugly fit over the toggle when the flap is pulled down. This would facilitate a quick release ..instead of untieing a knot. No disrespect at all..just my take on that application of the project. Love the videos as usual..thank you for your efforts educate to folks with your videos. I learn a lot sir:)
How do you not have a TV show yet?
Great videos Dave. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that Dave. I'm making one for my pack axe!
Looks great Mr. Canterbury! I need to make one of these as I have an axe that needs a mask. I might try it after seeing how to do it. Thanks
Thanks Dave! I'll try it with my axes.
Beautiful and functional. Well done!
Thanks Dave for making your videos i really enjoy them.
Looks great Dave
Thanks for the video
Nicely done Dave. Instead of a square knot though i would just use a quick release double bow tie.Pull one end and she's open. Excellent way to tie the flap down though in my opinion. Thanks for another great pair of videos.
That's a beautiful Axe mask Dave. Great video to thanks.
Looks good Dave!
Great work... as always.
Thanks
Another great vid Dave, Thanks
Nice Job, Dave
What a great project ill have to try. Thanks Dave
Very nice. Definitely like the lace tie more than a snap or button.
I really like that. Thanks for showing it to us.
thanks Dave
coat axe head with wax. dip leather (provided it is vegetable tanned/chrome retanned) in hot water for a few minutes. place axe in mask and allow to dry. after it is completely dry, treat it with snowseal or even tallow to waterproof the leather and prevent ax from rusting
I've always wanted to try my hand at leatherworking. Thanks for the video, I might just try now.
You're like the last of the Brohicans.
That was really informative and fun to watch
cool videos i love leathercraft.
Can you make a video on how to make a traditional knife sheath. keep up the
good work
Also, you could always wrap the axe in plastic wrap and soak the leather with water and form it around the axe shape.
Hey Dave, awesome job on the sheath! I just recently tried making a sheath for one of my knives, and I got a bag of scraps from a local craft store. Do you have any recommendations of where I can buy big pieces of leather?
Very neat work.
well done, that wax gave it a nice look
good demo (cheers)
... with a nice looking product at the end,
Great video keep em' coming!
That turned out great.
This was an awesome video!
Nice work!
good video dave gonna try that myself
Looks great dude.
Nice work.
+1 for catching a few Ian Atkinson videos on UA-cam for other, maybe better technique.
But, I love that "CAN DO" approach you always seem to have about everything! Hard to imagine DC ever getting down.
That looks like Chromium tanned leather that you're working with. Won't that react chemically to carbon steel and cause rust, or is that just the oil tanned stuff?
You just tucking it in your belt when you aren't carrying your bedroll, or are you going to end up putting that belt loop on it? Either way, very nice work and great pair of videos.
Semper Fi
Now the only thing left is your brand..... Awesome job.
Dave you should check out Ian Atkinson videos on UA-cam if you want to watch some good videos on how to make some high quality leather items, and different techniques and such.
I wish I had an enth of your knowledge brother....thank you
Nice. Looks good too.Smoke em if you got em. You got em. Thanks Dave.
you should make you a cool leather strap setup for a chest mounted go pro camera!
yea awsome job brother!
you should try a contest with the new channel with your own hand work for buyers like the axe cover you did here or other things signed
Dave, Nice axe cover, however if you put 4 finishing nails on first that will hold the leather in place to punch the other holes. Also do you wax your needle or the doubled part of your string for better sewing?
Nice work, nice video ! Thank you ;)
Great video. Started doing my own leather work a while ago. You planning any knife sheath videos?
A couple leather loops and a TOGGLE would have been a great fastening system, Mr. Toggle ;>)
Why not wet the leather prior to working with it? My experience is it makes it much easier.
Good video.
Nice lil ax mask Dave. Wonder though in that situation. Would a straight needle have helped you to do the stitching? Only reason I ask is it seemed like it was a struggle through the three layers of leather. Of course no offense meant. Have a good day or night, and all the best to you.
Very nice, thanks. I may actually do this for my self too :) Can you please make videoplaylist of videos about 18th century? That would help me a lot :)
Hi Dave, I've been watching the different videos you have on using leather for making pieces of kit, its very easy to keep up with you. Thanks. Also, do you have any experience using elk hide? I harvested the hide this passed season and have been looking for ideas on what to make with it. Have any suggestions?
thx for the vid!
That cord tie doesn't look convenient.
What about a toggle on the face with a loop of leather attached through holes in the back.
Or a toggle attached to the "under face" of the mask, and then cut a slot in the flap face for the toggle to come through.
great thanks
Hey Dave, can u make a video about a good survival, or hunting, knife that would be good for someone about 13 or 14?
GREAT!
Just wondering, Dave: why don't you just use saddle stitch? I find I get a tighter stitch and it is just as fast.
I dont understand why you dont use a button clip instead of that leather string?
Wouldnt that be alot more convenient? Or are we talking about homemade matereal?
For practical reasons i dont understand that string :S
some clip mechanism would be nice..
Very nice work Dave quick question have you ever used obenauf's heavy duty LP on your leather goods its all I use now it was developed for wildland firefighters and is made in Idaho good stuff
Thanks for the tip.
Hello. This is really hard work when you do it all day long. But why do you use a curved needle ? Straight needle, in and out, boom - ready. I have a little experience with sewing leather, but I have more with sewing cordura. And that feels the same when you have tight webbing and more than one layer. And I always hold everything in my hand (because I never had the idea of using a vise). But I mean my question serious. Why the curved needle ?
im gonna make a cover for my hatchet like that. was the wood on your axe torched?
Will there be a part 3 where you make the belt loop`?
Ive got a plumb hatchet,with a hammer head on the butt end.Im wanting to make my on sheath but its giving me fits on how to make it snug with that head on it.Any ideas would help.thanks guys
Just tried to check the pathfindertv but it isnt available in my country (Finland).
Are you guys going to make it so that it is available in more countries?
Nice
Hey Dave, do you live on a homestead?
does anyone know if dave edits his own videos
Using a grinder to dress your edges isn't exactly an 1800s method...lol. Trim the excess/uneven layers with your knife and burnish the edges with water, a simple file handle or bark-removed tree branch and then finally with beeswax.
1. Make a 3" section of edge soaking wet with water.
2. Take the tool handle/barked hardwood tree branch and rub the [wet] edges until you completely compress the fibers flat. In fact, rub it to the point just before they get "glossy." Wet the next 3" and repeat all the way around the leather. (This is also meant to round the edges of the face and backside of the leather panels....instead of the edge looking like this |_| it would look like this U . )
3. When you are done, let it dry thoroughly and then repeat the burnish process with warm, melted beeswax. Melt beeswax in a double boiler and dip the edge into it, going all the way around the edge. Let the beeswax completely cool and using the burnishing tool, rub it until it's glossed over. It will appear to be a shiny and DARK chestnut brown.
4. Paint a thin layer of melted beeswax onto both of the exposed/accessible leather sides [smooth and flesh sides]. Let the leather soak it up. Do it over and over again until it won't take any more [usually 2-3 "paintings," both sides for 8 + oz leather]. When it reconstitutes/hardens the final time, use a warm blow dryer to seal it [exactly like you would do to a canvas tent awning] and while it is still warm, burnish the faces with a really flat portion of the tool handle or stick.
The reasons for the beeswax is to:
A: waterproof the leather
B. protect/weather proof a carbon steel axe head.
If the axe head is forged/carbon steel, using beeswax on the head protects it from the elements and somewhat lubricates it when cutting into a tree. It eventually wears off and is simple to reapply with a few rubs from the block.
I don't know what you consider "fixin' wax" to be....I only EVER use beeswax for when I make my leather goods.
saw a youtube channel today called pathfinder tv. any relation to your channel?
That is his other channel. It is basically a TV channel. $2.99 per month, 5 instructors, great videos daily, no ads ever. I subbed, well worth it.
Toggle!!!! Deer antler or bone to secure that strap.
Does anyone know where I can get high quality leather like this at a halfway decent price?
You could try Tandy Leather...
Now i thank i should try mąkę one for my esee 6
Stupid youtube doesn't give me an image, just audio.
Dave, would you give me the recipe for "Fixin Wax"
PLEASE cut your intros down to 15 seconds or less.
:)
First!
