I have always enjoyed seeing your work. Thank you for sharing. I haven't followed your work in a while, did you ever work out the kinks you were working on with the pattern dyeing process you were working on about a year or so ago?

I did, and then I got sidetracked with personal stuff through the summer, and kinda forgot about it through the winter since it needs to be done outside (the dye powder floating around the shop has a tendency to speckle everything). With it warming up here though, I'll be getting back to it real soon.

nice work..

Thanks, brother.

Thanks guys.

Here's a shot of Jeff Randall's Nyala sheath while I still have the pics handy.

Very nice. What are you using to cut your slots into your sheaths?

 

[Kiah]

Thanks, bro. I built a rig to cut the slots. Kind of a high speed, single purpose mill. Mostly scrap parts, some aluminum for rails, and a 2.5 HP (23,000 RPM) router motor to do the cutting.

Awesome stuff! I wish I could get to your level! Any chance you could do a tutorial on cutting the slots in the sheaths and show what you use to cut them?

 

[smflorkey]

Very neat, clean designs! I haven't seen anything like your hatchet sheaths before. Do you make them for hatchets other than Fiskars?

Thank you, sir.

Maybe at some point, bro. The machine I use was trial and error. Building one and scrapping it, building another and scrapping it, and finally settling on the one I have now. Nothing overly complicated or anything, but with the amount of time and hair pulling put into it, I'm hesitant to share just yet. Plus it still has a few kinks to work out anyway.

Thanks, bro. I've made a couple for Estwings, but I'm bad about taking pics and don't keep anything on-hand but the Fiskars. I need to remedy that. The original tab style was borrowed from Kevin Estella, and I just changed a thing or two as I made more and it kinda ended up as it is now.

Another pic while I have it handy.
