just a simple diy vid for anyone with a Scandinavian type axe head or any axe that has a bottom angled bit with the blade edge being longer than at the handle (bearded)
Rarely can people "do" and "teach" equally. Not only do you do very nice work, you teach the steps perfectly. Thanks for all you do for us Doug.
thanks Roger -very nice of you to say -glad you liked it and thx for watchin
Some utube tutorials are pretty awful. This one gets the lesson across well. @@dougLinker
I agree Doug for someone who's not a leather worker that came out great.and a great explanation and how too..
I know this is 3 yrs old, but it's by far one of the best tutorials for making a great functional sheathe. Hats off to you my friend from Australia.
Thanks for sharing Doug. Professional dabbler here too... A tip on punching holes and taking the stress off the hole punch... As you clamp down to punch your hole, twist the leather and the hole punch in opposite directions at the same time. The punch will cut like butter because it is drilling through the leather as it punches.
that makes sense -thanks
Really liked your teaching video on leather crafting. When I think of an American I think about craftsmen. It isn’t punches stuff out on a keyword. It’s actually doing stuff.
I feel like im sitting in my dads work room and hes showing me how to make an axe sheath.. thank you for this video
thanks
Hi Doug, I'm doing the stitching tomorrow and finishing up. I thank you for your demeanor , expertise and being so pleasant.
Thanks Doug, a kindred spirit.... I was looking the other day for the rivets to make sheath for my camp axe, purchased in mid 70's. also a sheath for my Daddy's hatchet, that I played with in the mid 50's, and cut kindlin for starting the fire in a coal stove and heater. plus a sheath for my grandmother's axe that she used to chop wood for her stoves, a PLUMG 32. Oh Yeah! my rivets came today.....
I am the quartermaster for my son's Boy Scout Troop and we recently bought three new axes for the troop that did not come with masks. I was thinking I might just knock out a trio in Kydex & paracord and call it a day...but then UA-cam suggested this video for me. Great work on both the mask and the instruction! Now I think I am going to share this video with the boys and see if I can get three who want this project for the leather work merit badge.
this is a really well done vid, I feel like I could replicate what you did without any other resources which is rare these days. saving this one for later when I decide to make my own mask too 👍
great to hear - thanks man
I can't believe you made that for me! You are such a nice guy! It looks great and you did a good job explaining the process. Thanks
I made a different one for you haha
Hello Shawn. I Love your channels. Give Cali my love.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you very much. I sharpened my son's beat-up axe and built this for him (and to help protect my grand-daughters). It is beautiful. Thanks again!
WOW, I stumbled onto your video by accident when I was watching sheath/mask making videos using PVC pipe. Boy oh boy was I thrilled that I did. Your explanation was PERFECTLY CLEAR AND EASY TO FOLLOW. I am 100% sure that if I take my time and purchase a few supplies I, too, will be able to make a great product right from the get go. Because of how you presented all the information I not only liked your video, I subscribed to it.Thank you so very much!!
Yours,
Michael
Nice job. I'm not a leather worker either, but I've been doing my own leather work for over 40 years. I use a short wooden dowel rod, chucked into my drill press for burnishing. Just wet the leather, and feed the edge along the spinning dowel. I cut different size grooves in it, with sandpaper wrapped around different diameter dowels, held against it when spinning.
Hands down the most useful video I have seen on how to do this. Now I can stop you tubing myself and get to work! Thanks so much.
thx Michael -have fun
You can tell a true craftsman, when he slams something together rather quickly, and it's so much nicer than anything you could purchase at a store.
Love your work, and your general attitude towards life.
Glad you're back.
Thank you again for sharing.
very nice of you to say,thanks! appreciate that
Anytime.
"I didn't make it, so it's not mine"
Love that. Though it can feel like a disease, or a curse sometimes.
Doug I really appreciate how you keep things simple and focus on doing. A rarity, thank you.
+RyanJKUS2012 thanks Ryan -appreciate it
This video is Golden, the way you explain things is awesome compounded by the fact it is a zero b.s. approach to making the mask . Most other videos I have tried watching make it sound like if you sneeze in the general vicinity of your project it will be a mess, your video did away with that by offering multiple solution to lack of supply/tools. Thankyou Doug you're seriously the man! please keep it up!
very nice of you to say -thanks!
Doug you are awesome lol. You appear to be so hap hazard, random and almost chaotic, yet I love watching what you do and listening to you and in the end it turns out exactly as it was supposed to. I love the fact that you say to be careful when working but if you aren't it doesn't matter, do it later. You will need 4 times the length of thread to the piece you are going to stitch, and before you cut it off, take some more. You have inspired me. I have sent off for some leather craft tools so I can make my own axe mask. Doug, never change, keep being "Doug".
"keep the spirit alive".
Rach
Glad to see you back Doug
thanks!
Excellent vid, so glad I watched it. Just ordered up a couple hundred bucks of leather working supplies off Amazon. The wife and I got some things we need to make, and this vid really inspired us.
Another good one Doug. Can't believe how easy you make it look.
thx Geoff -it is an easy project
Hey Doug, thanks mate, that was brilliant. My Grandfather was a Cobbler and also he to produce tarps, saddles, leg chaps, etc. Never did get to see him in action but he was a bit of a legend in his district. Watching you in action bought back a few memories as well s learning something new. Thanks mate, have subscribed... ;-}
Killer vid. I watched many vids and found this vid to cover everything A-Z. My first mask came out BEAUTIFUL....I didn't have enough allowance for the beard and the way the hatchet pivoted and while I test fitted and it was snug....as soon as I riveted, I couldn't get the hatchet in the mask. The burnishing and the shape and the stain and stitching was great. This vid gave me the roadmap to get it done. Sniffing glue as I write this for 2nd attempt with new mask. I hope I get the size right. Thanks Doug!
I had the same problem, ended up slicing a hole in the top by trying to force it. On my second attempt as well. How did yours turn out?
@@MrFreeGman My others turned out killer. Since then, I have made ~6 more and I also have done about 15 knife sheaths. Fun stuff!!
@@Ireland831Good stuff man! Glad to hear you're still at it.
Old school knowledge in any challenge for accomplishing a task is always the most satisfying. Thanks for that demo. Quality workmanship
thanks Mark!
Exceptional video. Thank you so much for sharing your time and skill...and showing the simplicity of it. You just pulled off a beautiful work in 36 minutes. Very inspirational. More than a lifetime, and it's yours.
Doug, I really enjoy your videos. Your humor and humility are great. Thank you for posting, and I'm glad you decided to keep your UA-cam account going. - Mike
thanks Mike -appreciate that
Simple and functional. I intend to copy your design for my medium hatchet...thanks for sharing Doug!
I just bought a similar axe with a cheap sheath...thanks Doug!...now I can handle it by myself!!
good! give it a go
Doug Outside! Thank you for this tutorial. I picked up a collins boys axe on the cheap this week, and of all the YT tutorials on this style of mask, your's seemed the right balance of function and style. The bottom "shelf welt" was the piece that set you apart from the others, BRILLIANT! Cheers! And thank you!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for making each step clear and simple to understand.
I’ve just inherited my late step fathers axe and started restoring it, a custom made leather cover will finish it off perfect.
Awesome video! Thanks for showing us how to use tools we already have around the house! Really great job, looks good!
You are so entertaining.
I feel as though you would be right at home on the front porch with a sniffer of Crown Royal, and a whittling stick. 😃
And this is exactly why I am happy you are making videos again. Learned a lot. Also good score on the axe. I know Tim went through no small effort to get all those GBAs for the show. Thanks for taking us along Doug!
yep ,I watched his website for months and always out of stock - thanks Kevin
I have put a bunch of coats of Linsheen on my Scandinavian Forest axe. It feels a lot better than the original handle finish. I am making a new sheath for my Small Forest axe because my daughter’s dog ate the original one. She grabbed it out of my back pocket as I cut some firewood for their fire pit. I hope she had a good time passing those rivets!
Fourth ever time working with leather, followed this tutorial, damn fine result. Great video Doug!
thank you, great video. nice to have you back.
thanks Timothy
Very cool Doug! Enjoy the video thoroughly! Thanks for showing how it's done!
Nice simple explanation. Easy to follow. Good job!
Oh you’re a leatherworker, you have a good grasp on basic leather working tool usage. 👍
Great job Doug. Thanks for showing that.
your welcome-thx for watchin
You sold me Doug... gonna try making one soon. I really appreciate how you demonstrated the correct tools but also discussed the alternative options for those of us without the specialized equipment. Nicely done!
thanks Paul -give it a shot!
Fantastic instructional video Doug. You seem to know how to do just about everything!
thx Larry, appreciate it
Thanks for the intro to leather working 101, very cool....
glad you liked -thx
Hey Doug I have made two sheaths based on your design. Really well done video, helpful useful and informative. Thanks a bunch for the information.
+pokstermania thanks -glad you found it helpful
Thank you for making this tutorial. Everything is explained in layman's terms and gives me the confidence to go and make my own axe sheath.
Best leather working explanation I've seen. Beautiful sheath. Using most of the processes needed for many projects. Thank you very much. You are a great teacher.
Jim Bryan
Great clarity. A Gem. None of what I´ve come to expect with too many tutorials here on You Tube. This is exactly what I needed. I watched every frame (I know its a video...) start to finish without pause, no skipping forward because the pace of delivery was spot on. Many Thanks! Im going to order my leather now!
Knocked it out of the park with this one Doug! just a beauty sheath and entertaining video as always. Cheers
thanks Scott!
Awesome video. I subscribed. Thought I needed to buy punching forks and alot of other tools. I need a couple but to make a couple of sheaths, I appreciate your common tool suggestions. I have most of tools I need.
Nice to see you include the axe in the project. I have a Black Raven on a new handle that is crying for one of those fine looking sheaths.
Doug Outstanding video. Makes me want to try some basic leather work. Sheath Came out Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing and Teaching 👍🏻
thanks Mike
For someone that looks quite rugged and gruesome you have a friendly voice and i'm not at all intimidated by you, brilliantly presented video, i will certainly mirror image this and attempt to make one of my own, thanks..
I look gruesome? that's not very nice :(
Suuuuper helpful video! Very good at explaining to those of us that know nothing of the craft and very impressive craftsmanship.
I've never ever made anything with leather in my life. After watching this video, I mustered up the confidence to try this out for one of my Montreal pattern HB axes. You've provided such an excellent tutorial here, that after just two attempts (I had to learn some basic things from my mistakes), I have a high quality sheath that is much better than anything I could have purchased, and the know-how to make more. Many thanks!
That's a great simple design... I'm stealing it.
We are leather workers, but it is still interesting to see how people do their leatherwork.
In regards to drilling - it is not so much that the drill removes material, it is that the awl will spread the fibers of the leather apart, the thread goes through (twice) and then the leather fibers compress back to their shape, holding the thread securely. If a stitch is cut later on, the whole seam will stay intact, because the leather is gripping the thread adjacent to the cut stitch. I've had to pull stitching out, and it was insanely laborious, had to cut and pull each stitch individually.
But, I love watching you work, you're like a combo of a rhinoceros and a front loader, nothing can stop your thrust.
ha -thanks! appreciate the comment :)
Looks good Doug. Thanks for posting.
thanks Don
Nice job Doug, you made it look so simple with your easy style, thanks for sharing. 😃👍
I am a leather worker, and you did a great job. The only thing I would have done different (beside not drilling out the lace holes) is I would have done a dry fitting before gluing it together. (I use clamps to hold the piece when dry fitting) Side note: I also use gloves with the dye, if I get it on my skin, my skin peels off like a 2nd degree sunburn.
Great instructional video! Clear, concise but thorough. You are a natural born teacher.
"I like a little bit of stitching, but... Gränsfors doesnt care, see that?" Hahaha! Made my day! Thank you for a great video Doug!
haha ,thx Claes-glad you liked it
Hey Doug I'm enjoying these little diy videos thanks
thanks Jason -glad you like them
I like to refurb old axe heads so this will be a handy video to make sheaths. I'd recommend spending more money and getting a better hole punch with replaceable bits. Your work deserves it. :)
Now I have found a use for that piece of shoulder leather that is hanging on the wall of my workshop! Sheaths for my hatchet, camp knife, splitting maul and axe! Great tutorial!
Easy peasy Japanesey! Nice Doug. I like the personal touches. Thanks for sharing.
thx for watchin Lawrence
Thanks again for this video Doug. I just finished restoring an old axe that my dad has in his tool shed, and that was great fun. Took a month to finish as I only had an hour or so a day to devote to it, but it's finished and the axe is perfect. I whipped the handle using your technique, and now I'm going to copy this exactly. Mike from Chicago.
Thanks Doug, your video nudged me to jump head first into doing my own leather work. I went full stitch on my first mask but fairly close method wise. Turned out better than expected and much nicer than the one council tool makes for the axe. Between the handle work, edge reprofiling, and mask ITS MINE.
Thanks Doug! It's always nice to see others techniques and idea's. Keeps the thinker thinking. Looks great, I like wrapping it around the beard instead of the handle a lot!
thanks man -I do it that way everytime I have any bit of beard to avoid straps
Doug I am really grateful for your time to make videos- I am in the processing of making my first axe sheath and happy with the results so far… time to start stitching
Thank You! After watching you I think I can do it. Very nice and easy to understand instruction and examples.
If you had of asked me 10 years ago that I would ever watch a 30 min video on leather working I would have said you were crazy.....
But I was riveted the whole time!
Great Vid!
thanks Marty -I wouldn't of watched it myself 10 years ago haha
Thanks for the video Doug. I have a lot of axe projects coming up and definitely acquired some useful tips from this vid. Glad to see you on the tube again!
thanks Brad -glad you got something out of it I was afraid it was gonna be a snoozer for most haha
Definitely not a snoozer, Thank you. Down to earth, plain English, easy to get a good understanding.
Doug, I know this is a really old video but I just want to thank you for inspiring me to get into leathercraft! I keep coming back to this video to reference techniques in my learning process. I've made 3 projects so far: a tape measure holster for work, a small EDC pouch that holds a SAK+light+lighter, and a dice tray/holder for table top RPG games. Each one couldn't have been accomplished without the techniques you show in this video, so thank you so much for showing everything in depth and explaining it all clearly. I'm going to try making my own axe mask next for my GB hatchet, so that should be a fun project!
I have a lot to learn and a long way to go, but it's so satisfying to step back and look at something that I've created with my own two hands. Thanks for inspiring me bud, I appreciate it. It means a lot to me to have someone to look up to/learn from and to push me to improve myself and my abilities.
Cheers, fellow Ontarian... I'll seeya around! BTW the stickers look awesome, thanks for sending me them!
Very nice, Doug. I've been looking for a simple easy to follow tutorial on an axe mask and I found it! Thank you!
great! glad it helps
Glad to see new videos!! Keep on keeping on.
Always great to see different and new topics!
thx Joe -glad you like
Good job Doug!
What a great video! Easy to follow and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing - I'll be having a go for sure.
thx Don -give it a try!
This was really helpful for creating my own version of a very nice sheath for my modified hatchet. I did some things differently, but your ideas were a great guide. Cheers, man.
I bought a new short axe this week and in perfect timing this pops up on my yt feed. Thank you! I will have to collect all the necessaries, but I think I can do it - "eezy-peezy!" (I don't think so lol), but with your help, maybe...:) You inspire me to try
great video Doug, THANKS FOR SHARING.
+bear thanks Bear
Doug Outside by the way this is carvingChris from instagram.
Great final result and a top video with good simple instructions.. Stitching grovers might make it look nice and neat but they remove the strongest part of the leather . The top grain is the toughest part of the hide.If you want the stitches to be set down a little, moisten the leather as you are sewing and the stitches will pull into the surface a bit.
Great video Doug. So cool how you make things your own.
thx Josh ,glad you liked
Great how-to vid! Thanks Doug
thanks -glad you liked it
First video I have watched of you and I'm hooked! SUBSCRIBED!!
thx for the sub Joe!
This was perfect Doug. Thanks.
Great Video Doug. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
+EastCoast GunNut thanks man -glad you liked it
Thankyou this takes the mystery out of how to make a mask for my Ace hardware axe I did several modifications to make it much better but, the final step is a mask thankyou very much
You made it look easy Doug, thank you.
Great video! Only difference I've seen from the "experts" is gluing a shaved down piece of round leather to underside of the snap inside so it doesn't scratch the knife or tool when taking it off or on. But looks like brass snaps so shouldn't cause an issue since it's softer than the hardened steel.
Nice job Doug, and easy to follow along for a novice.
Very nicely done, shown well and explained well. On to making a mask for my old axe. Thank You.
Just made one myself last night, put it on my new Council Tool axe. Tried to find one of those swedish ones like you have but they are so popular, everyone was sold out.
awesome, glad it helped a bit
Hi Doug, great tutorial. Great channel. I am going to make one of these for my axe today. Thanks!
Doug in the workshop!
that's me :)
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Spent the last day making a shaft for my sons first axe, figure I will make him a axe sheaf now. Thanks for your time making and uploading. All the best mat
Really informative video Doug! Thanks to you I have carved multiple
little bears for myself and for family along with making my own strop to
keep my knives sharp. I've learned tons from your videos and you
really make me feel like I should get into playing with leather-working
now too. Thanks for all you do!
that's fantastic -thanks for sharing that ,appreciate it
Great job Doug.
thanks!
Thank you Mr. Doug. Just what I needed. I’m going to add a loop to connect it to my belt. The loop will be attached to the sheath at one point under a bit of friction and be allowed to swivel when needed. Like when I stop at a fallen log along the trail to rest and listen and observe while the son and grandson steam ahead - I trade being first into camp for bear and various wildlife sightings that seem to always be unique to me on these adventures. Age has it’s blessings.
Great job Doug
thanks Robert
Almost 40 minutes of good info....thanks for that. The first couple of seconds had a bit of a "rugged" and scary look. To answer your question in the description I'll say beard. But Joesneon knows.
I'm going with Bearded -thought there might be another term for the bottom angle itself but I guess beard is it -thx man
Thanks Doug!! My ax cover just broke! I think I'll give this a try!
perfect timing then -have fun with it
Nice job teaching me how to make my first leather project. I just re-handled an old Boy Scout hatchet, and needed a sheath/mask for it. this video was the best that I've found, hands down !
