I'm starting a new organization if any one wants to join.
I'm making leather sheaths for the small bowies and I wish I enjoyed making leather sheaths as much as I do knives...
I think I figured out why. Knifemaking comes a bit more natural I guess but for some dang reason and I can not put my finger on it I struggle with sheaths. I think I really need to spend some time learning proper techniques and materials.
I bought some thread at Tandy the other day and it would break about ever 3 holes.
I need advice on thread, needle size, dye and finish. I feel like I just scrape by on the bare min and my sheaths are not up to par with my knives.
Just had to vent, was off work today and worked on them and I think I threw away half my leather stock because I kept screwing up pieces of the sheath.
