\"\"<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago I had started on three knife sheaths.<\/a> Got a little side tracked in my pursuit of learning to carve leather,<\/a> so I put these aside until today. The idea for building three sheaths at once was to help speed up the learning process a bit. Each stage could be repeated a few times until moving on to the next one. However, I found that I made one mistake on one of them and repeated it two more times on the others! Today was all about fixing that mistake, it’s important as a craftsman to be able to backtrack and fix things when you mess up. You certainly don’t want to have to throw away a bunch of work for a small mishap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I dyed two of the three sheaths black using a natural vinegroon recipe in use in the old west. It looks a bit bluish in the photos but after oiling them up they will darken considerably.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Above I have attached the belt loop with a bit of glue, punched the stitch holes, and cut a groove for the stitches to sink into so they don’t get worn down when pushed up against a belt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After repeating that step three times, then going ahead and stitching each loop onto the sheath, I realized I had forgotten to bevel and finish the edges on the loops. Kind of hard to do once attached to the sheath.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here you can see how each individual stitch had to be carefully cut – I used a very sharp clicker knife to get them down in the groove.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once new loops were cut, I beveled the edges, skived the tops and bottoms for a more flush fit, then waxed and burnished the edges. Now I’m just waiting for the glue to dry.<\/p>\n
