Hello one and all!
I am a New-B in training. Or an old dog trying to learn new tricks, lets say.
I have been toying for a while, but actually took the needle in the arm last July and went and bought a Square Wheel grinder. They say Crack is bad!! Clearly, they don't do knives....! It is out of control! Then came more grinders, buffers, drill presses, 'Torches, and forges; oh my!' I'm building an anvil from 6"plate now. Last week was the forge and burners? Kydex n heat guns,.....Is there any way back or is it all over into a spiraling abyss???
There is no time to for a normal life. I even gave up hunting this past season because all the drawing tablets and catalogs up in the tree scared off all the deer.
Anyway that brings me to my next phase. I need to make some sheaths for my projects.
I know there are lots folks that do that sort of thing. But for some reason I can't seem to find them on here.
Can anyone suggest some good sites to go to for leather sheaths? I don't have enough going on now.
Thanks for any help....:(
 
Mexican Loop Tutorial
Although specifically for a Mexican loop style this tutorial will show you the basics that can be adapted to any style leather sheath.

If you have any specific questions feel free to email me.

Thanks alot for the info.
I used to do some leather work, many years ago in school, but that was mostly kits. Or were those cave drawings...?
