I bought a edge beveler and some other leather stuff this morning, then I find your new videos of a leather project... Thanks Dave
Excellent lesson Dave. and great timing. I just got my first tomahawk and I need to make a sheath or cover for it. I can't wait for Part 2. Thanks for keeping things real with all your videos, too. Take it easy- Bryan
Hello Dave, I love your videos, always learning something, so thank you very much for your work.
Glad to see this video come up. I'm just getting into leather work. I plan on making a few different sheath and pouch items. Thanks for posting Dave.
Can't wait for part 2. Thanks.
Tandy leather factory sells all kinds of great leather and leather working tools, I picked up a small kit for making knife sheaths and things pretty cheap, they always have leather and tools on sale. The waxed thread works great for this stuff.
I found that Purgatory Ironworks has a few very helpful videos for making these kinds of things, I followed his teachings and have found many helpful tips, like gluing everything in place first with rubber cement, and drilling out the thread holes with a dremel and a 1/16" bit too.
If my small forest axe hadn't come with a leather sheath, I'd be making one just like this too!
patience is key. nicely done.
I really like this video, Dave. Nice to see instruction on how to make this kind of thing. Self reliance is a great thing.
Looks like a fun and simple project to work on to try my hands at leather work. Thank you! -Nate
I like how you mentioned not using a wedge needle to back thread.
As usual very informative, thanks Dave!
Spring is right around the corner :D nice vid Dave, very relaxing to watch
Great stuff, am getting into leather crafting myself now so learnt lots from this video. Moving onto part 2 now ~Peace~
Interesting video..
Thanks Dave
Awesome! The videos that you make are great and I love to watch you on Dual Survival!
Cool Axe cover
Excellent!!! QUESTION-The WELT: How does the axe blade fit against the welt? Does it fit up to it or does it fit side by side to it? Is the welt to stop the blade from cutting through the stitching and mask? Wow!!! You're the MAN!!! Amazon
Those antique scissors do a fine job.
you can tack the leather down so it wont shift when you have to hammer a bunch of holes.
nice i hope you waterproof in the next vid. you could make a series out of leatherworking
you should try using braided fishing line for thread, its just as thin as cotton thread but ten times stronger. it also melts well so you can have extra strong and clean knots. jmo
p.s. ive even used it on my bow to tie on the peep sight.
While the strength of braided fishing line is great, the main problem is when you pull your stitches, has a nasty habit of cutting the leather
On to part two.
Excellent project, thanks for posting it. You mention that to make it bullet proof you would use bank line. What size bank line would you use for stitching? Thanks!
Love all the videos. Where do you get your leather at.
What is the purpose of the welt? I thought is was something you were going to put all the around the sides and bottom. But just on the one side confused me as to its purpose. Great video Dave.
dave, i missed the front part about choosing the ax. the sounds was off for my old ears. do you have a video on axe selection?
Besides sheaths, how many other leather items should/could be in a wilderness outfit?
Thats the manliest way to sow ever!
What's that long handled ax farthest to your left at the edge of the table? I don't think I've seen that in any of your videos (Though I haven't seen them all, I'm still working on that).
Sorry for the duel post. I also wanted to ask what ounce leather are you using?
Did you pull your stitching thread through wax before hand?
Mabey Im just ignorant but what kind of needles are you using to sew the leather?
Just wondering what kind/weight of leather you suggest for making axe masks.
I thought you were left-handed Dave?
this a good skill i made a map bag and fire starter bag two knife shealth's it made out of puleather still good skill thumb up
I think the vise is called a "Stitching Pony"
Actually I was using an 18th Century Vise
For re enacted could sinew work too
Real Sinew Yes, Artificial Sinew No
too much wind noise
mike cover, wind noise
you need to come to my dirt brother, there is an external mic and deadcat on this camera we get routine 30MPH Winds
***** FYI, can barely hear any wind and no problem hearing every word you say. That's all that counts bro.
It's actually not bad in this video. There were some wind/sound problems in some of the videos last year, but it seems the problem has been mitigated.
Who's mike? Oh, and a mic cover only really works on light breeze. I'm sure you knew that though, since you're an expert on the subject.
***** psychiatrist? it's called an observation, not meant to be critical. I can hear sound dah
