Side-Sewn Leather Sword Scabbard
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- In this video, Chuck demonstrates how to create a beautiful side-sewn leather scabbard for a sword. The primary advantage of using the side-sewn method is that it allows you to stamp, tool and decorate your scabbard, where a wet mold would not. With this design, you can customize your scabbard any way you like, and even match your scabbard to a favorite suit of armor! The creative possibilities are endless.

Aw! C'mon, Chuck! You can't just leave us with a teaser like that at the end. A full suit of leather armor?! We need patterns, build videos, RenFair walkabouts showing it off!
Beautiful work, sir. It was a speedy and thoroughly engrossing 47 minutes.
And is there a Helmet? There has to be a Helmet!
I can see him tooling Weaver across the back of that suit. Lol
"Don't panic...I always do...but don't panic."
Love the honesty from Chuck.
Awesome armor and scabbard, Chuck!
Talk about burring the lead. Seeing him in that full armor set was AWESOME!!!
I had never considered mixing pigments into the antique. Excellent idea, and definitely something I'll be trying on my next sheath.
You have to have the neutral antique paste.
Holy balls.....that armor set must have 100s of hours in it
lol 100 hours is nothing, i made a halfplate and it takes longer. especially with that level of art... unless... you were crazy enough to get this in die cut.
Another Home run by Chuck 'Sir Charles' Dorsett. Great info, very entertaining. 🤺
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
I'm blown away. That new Armor of yours is gorgeous. I love that black and turquoise and the silver spots. Great job Chuck, you are an absolute master of the leather craft.
Wowididnt expect the armour at end! Right on man!
Great video as always. You inspire and give great confidence. That armor! 😍 I hope theres a frog video coming for that beautiful scabbard.
I believe this is the first time we see you wearing this armour? It looks amazing!
Also, an idea for a cool follow up - doing a scabbard/sheath for a curved single-edged blade, that still allows for tooling - I tried it several times, and doing a curved blade was always a huge pain
curved blades usually require an open necked scabbard when working in leather. In my humble finding anyway.
when you chose white thread i was like nooooo use blue, but that white really sets it off and looks fantastic Chuck, great choice!
I've used that Ritza lighter blue thread before on a hat project for my granddaughters against Mahogany Pro Dye. It came out looking nice and I think it would have looked well here too. The white does pop though.
@@kerryg4119 after switching to ritza i wont use anything else its great stuff
Amaizing leather craft..
Wow..!
Holy... That armor is looking awesome.
I've watched this video 6+ times and I finally stayed till the very end because I noticed everyone talking about the armor
Such a blast watching you work. At the level I'm at with leatherworking there was only so much information that was new to me (that's a compliment to you and my other teachers!), but it's still a pleasure listening to your wisdom. That reveal at the end was amazing too!
That was amazing. I think I'm going to try leather crafting as a new hobby.
Wow, really nice!
show off! although i absolutely love how your armor doesnt creak
Chuck, very nice job. I love the color against black. Your suit of armor is beautiful.
So good to get back watching rather work again Lost everything I had 2 days before Christmas. So it's taken a little time just to watch it again hopefully we'll be able to get started one day again love the videos
I have no interest in making a scabbard I make briefcases, But I fucking love how excited Chuck gets about it. 👍🏻 watched the whole video.
But also I always glean some new technique I can use for what I make. I didn’t know you could use acrylic paints to color antique. Bam.
And I thought your other suit of armor was pretty cool! That black and turquoise is out of the park!!! Great video with proper length to show how it is done. Thanks Chuck. You're the best!
Thank you so much! You're welcome.
Great video. Great ending. GOD bless. Keep up the great work. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
what a great project, thanks for posting!
Glad you liked it! You're welcome!
One day I hope to run into you at a Ren faire Chuck! Very inspirational, and as always I walk away with some great tips to use immediately.
OMG, I love your armor and matching scabbard :) Great video, with lots of good tips!
Wow, this gives me Lord of the Ring vibes. Absolutely spectacular. 👌🏻👍🏻
Oh my god, an excellent video on a subject pretty rare to find, a fistfull of good tips on how to do things in the best way, and the final reveal is DOPE, you crazy bastard... if I may )
amazing suit! amazing video! ❤❤❤❤
This was perfect! I’m getting a 3d printed sword and there is no sheath (which I will need). Never done any leather work before but this video was perfect for me to understand. :)
Wow🫨, this caught my attention. I have one. I have been meaning to make a cover for it. Thank you, for this tutorial. 😃👍
You're welcome 😊
Wow Chuck! I am always amazed at the quality of the work that you produce. You make it look so easy. Your suit is amazing!🌟🌟🔥
Thank you! :)
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Hi Chuck,nice video.I've just bought a replica late 1300's sword (and scabbard).Just like your scabbard ,on your video at 31:00,it has a metal stud on the throat, I wonder could you tell me, what was the purpose of this stud ?
Thanks.
Great video as always. The turquoise would not be my pick but we all have our taste. Anyway the scabbard looks gorgeous. Wish I had a sword to craft one
Wow Chuck that is a fantastic suit of armour. I have seen you in brown armour in a photo in previous video but this is a whole different suit. Like other commentors I'd also like see more videos on armour making, and also thank you for get me and alot of other people get really excited about leather crafting
Chuck that looks amazing!!!!!! Can u show us how to add a chape and a locket!! I’m dieing to know!❤ love your videos
Wow i learned a lot today
Great project, Sir Chuck! That was exceptionally informative.
"Boy is that tedious" had me laughing
I don't know why, but you remind me of Celebrimbor from rings of power... well done with the scabbard. got some helpfull inspirations. and btw ... nice armour ^^
Beautiful addition to your set! Do you make shoes for the period also? If so could we get a video on how to make shoes/boots?
Just awesome!
Been waiting on this!!!
I look away from the screen for a second and when I look back the dude is in full armor wielding a sword ready to attack me!
Great vid! I have several swords in need of scabbards, and we need to know your armor patterns/builds!
Holy hell, Chuck! The scabbard is beautiful, but that armor... wow! How many hours did that take you?
Just a full suit of leather armor to match the scabbard, no biggie...
Thank you from the Netherlands for all your lessons you are a true inspiration for me.. I'm new in this fine craft and i wetformed a cheeckrest for a rifle in veg tan. Is it possible to make this leather after forming and working it almost as souple as a chrome tan?
Question: Will the bent prongs scratch against the sword blade?
Im curious if there is a way to calculate the amount of depth the welt needs to be in relation to the distal taper of the sword blade, since a lot of swords are thicker in the center part. I wonder if you split the difference of the height of the blade if that would make it too tight, maybe divide the height of the blade and reduce it by a 1/4?
I am curious because I have a sword like this and have been thinking of making a sheath for it, maybe its best to wet form around the blade since its thicker in the center?
Have you ever tried to look for someone that will buy your scrap for the manufacture of patent leather?
Great video and would you know by any chance who the manufacturer of your sword is?
Museum Replicas, LTD and the black one in the videos is from their “Battlecry” collection. They’re of pretty good construction. Probably not totally battle ready but close.
46:55 for the big reveal!
wow I'm first! Great project idea
Thank you! :)
So how about stitching leather over a wood scabbard? I've always wanted to do my own wood core scabbard. But I have no idea how I should stitch on that leather.
That sounds awesome! Could you cement the dyed and tooled but unfinished leather to the wood? then after that sets up, if you did a colored antiquing it would go down into the groove line and you could run the stitching spacer to make faux stitch lines... Then maybe if you put spots or rivets on, you could go all the way through the wood for a little extra mounting stability so everything stays together even if the cement eventually works loose?? Idk if that would work, but it works in my head.lol. i don't know how to satisfy the edges though...maybe if the wood was edge painted prior to the leather being attached...or wrap the leather around the edge 😬 just my brainstorming. Would any of that work??
Chech this out,

Adam savage does a similar build like your talking. Not with stitching but you could always use a slightly thicker veg tan & leave a ¼" overhang on it & stitch it up. Or wrap the entire thing & stitch in the back. Hope this helps. 😁👍
How will the scabbard fixed / hung up to a belt?
You can make a belt loop on the back panel but a better way, and the traditional way, to connect a sword to a belt is a “frog”. These come in all shapes and sizes. We have a video on a matching sword and dagger frog, here is a link to that... www.weaverleathersupply.com/collections/sword-and-dagger-frogs
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Thank you very much for your quick answer! 👍
That's a sheath, not a scabbard. A scabbard is rigid/ has wooden scales underneath the leather.
Other than that I loved the video
What? You laid it in instead of dropping it in?That will never work,it's ruined. 😂 🙃 👍
