Give Away Number 1

Don't think anyone guessed 25, but that is my guess for a simple sheath, I do know that it requires attention to detail in any quality sheath such as the ones that you make.

Thanks Dwayne, nice offer

The devil is in the details--see post 34! ;) That's ok, just thought you might want to grab another number unless maybe Dwayne has got two of these. Best of luck everyone.
 
Great idea for the first giveaway LeatherHog!! :thumbup:

I'll admit that I'm interested in the detailed steps (in a geeky sort of way ;) ).

This is great, thanks for such a cool giveaway Dwayne!

I already posted my number, but now I am curious just how many of you actually have a SAR 6?? LOL I know it's not a requirement or anything, but there is a lot of replies here and I wonder how many 6's have made it into the wild that might get to wear those pants. ;)

Here's my guess, Big Dave's number 33.
I tried to make one in my head, but have never made a leather sheath so I am sure I will miss several steps and they are out of order, but I am assuming this is after the design has been perfected with preset stencil patterns, not starting completely from scratch since you have already made a bunch of these.

Lay one sheet of factory black leather on bench 1

Trace/draw stencil shapes for cutouts, I'm guessing 5 separate pieces (front, back, 2 middles and the strap). 6

Cutout the 5 separate pieces. 11

Punch two holes on the strap for snap components. 13

Attach the four components of snap (two per end if I remember right) to the strap and press them on. 19

Cut notch for strap in the biggest cutout and then feed strap through it. 21

Soak and then fold largest cutout in half. 23

Stack the remaining three cutouts on it. 26

Clamp/glue the stack of leather together and then sew it. 28

Press logo stamp into back of sheath. 29

I forgot to remove any overhangs to even up the edges of the stacked leather, inside and outside prior to clamping/sewing. 31

Plus 2 extra steps I probably over looked for good measure. 33

Somethin ain't right here... :confused: oh yeah... this piggie doesn't share his pants with anybody! :eek: Still got time for you to guess again though. ;)
 
Did not see your submission, I really do think it is 25 steps, will yield to you, no further guess needed.
also just spent 10 days out in your state in the Phoenix area, about 2 hrs north of you if I was told right, man Phoenix was a nightmare with traffic, nice weather though, went to several nice places to eat while we was there. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hold on guys.

If you are going to count cutting out leather (1 process)

...multiplied by the number of pieces that needed to be cut...

then this ain't gonna work at all...because then it would read like this...

Processes in making a sheath.
Get paper for list to number the processes for making a sheath. X1
Walked in to the shop. X1
Add walking in to the shop on list. X1

Etc. Etc. Etc. Ad naseum...Ad perpetua...

If this is how it works then my new guess is 647,849...which includes lunch, a potty break and tying shoes, replacing a broken shoelace, and getting the kids from school.

(Just yanking chains here. Hope you got thought it was funny.)

Unless this is really how it works, then I am calling the commissioner for a ruling!

Somebody out there has a slide rule and they are actually trying to figure out how stitches there are in the sheath so they can add that to the total....

Hey wait a minute....how many stitches are there?

I may be updating my guess....


1...2...3...4...5.....jeez...could we get a bigger picture please!
 
Thanks for the help Voxhog! I really appreciate it. :)

Shane, that is one heck of a guess! wow! You think the same way I do, way too deep. :D

Looks like this one isn't going to last till Sunday. :eek: I'll shut er down tomorrow and get the list transferred and figure out the winner.

In the case of repeat numbers, the first to post lays claim to it.

That is exactly why I didn't guess. It made my head hurt thinking about it.
