Well its been nearly a week since i did a post as the weight of the world had been getting heavy on my shoulders... but as the weekend drew round i manage to throw those shackles and get some work done on. First on the agenda was to get a nice leather knife sheath made for my garden knife.
I'd briefly mentioned in in a previous post on my hand made wallet > HERE
This little trusty knife serves me well in the garden. Only issue is i manage to misplace it all the time, There's a ton of images in this post showing how its made and it cost about £4 pounds for the leather to get it done. cheap and functional whoop.
One of the first things i had to do was cover the knife in cling film to ensure it stayed dry while i wet formed the leather. If you do try this i'd recommend you do your best to avoid any lumps in the cling film as this may show throw the leather if its thin.
Up next was to dye all the leather, this was in a walnut colour, the leather will be further trimmed down once finished.
Well that's it for this post! on to the next adventure...
