Making a Bushcraft Sheath for My Woodlore Clone

- Today in the shop I make a leather bushcraft style sheath for my Woodlore clone that I made in the last video. This one is made from 7-8oz vegetable tanned leather with a belt loop, and additional dangler loop on a brass D-ring for an alternative way to carry it while camping and hiking.
I spent a good amount of time making a template that I will be able to use for future sheaths. This part of the process is a great way to prepare your paper pattern to ensure that you get your leather cut and shaped correctly the first time.
Then I show you the step by step process of making a sheath. It’s important to know your steps before hand to be sure you glue, stitch, and finish everything in the correct order to keep from having to pull your sheath apart and redo a step that was missed.
We hope you all enjoy, and don’t forget to like the video, and drop us a comment of what you think. Thanks!

For stronger stitching, you can tie an overhand knot each time you pass the needles through the leather. Also, I wonder if a little thinner leather would be a little easier, but I'm sure you chose the thickness you wanted for a robust sheath. Nice job.
Now I see why Kydex is so popular. Whew. Leather working is another lifelong skill to master like learning a musical instrument. Compliments to the guitar player btw. Nice addition.
Finally someone uses the bottle opener at the same time as the paint can pry bar!
Dustin, great video and thank you. Have watched this video over 15 times as I'm making the sheath right now. Learn something new in the details each time viewing. Now I need to make a fire steel handle. Awesome job, thanks again.
Subscribed!
Never thought about pressing the fire steel layers down to fit in the welt, nice job. Leatherworking is so easy, the challenge is taking the careful steps to make it look nice and you nailed it.
You know, given the production value 19,500+ subscribers just isn't fair. You're making what could pass as a tv show. A beautiful piece again I look forward to seeing more.
Big shout out to the videographer who makes these videos so much more enjoyable to watch than the typical diy videos!
Thank you for taking the time to show this process to us. One of the best sheath videos I've seen. The camera person did a good job too. Shop zombies can also be helpful at times.
That knife and sheath are a beautiful, practical tool, and because you made them yourself, they are priceless works of art! There is no better feeling than having a project turn out like that.
Excellent! The mark of a craftsman is making the work look easy; you do that!
I’m really enjoying watching your channel, I don’t know who your camera person is but it’s obvious that he or she is a talented videographer. You must have some great gear. Always in focus, Lighting is good white balance is correct, great tight detailed shots of what your doing. Also your editing skill are very good. Thank you for all the good content.
Brother Devon here: Thank you Brisket Junkie for the kind words. Dustin and I are a two person team. He makes the awesome stuff, I shoot and edit. We are trying to make clean, visually pleasing videos that allow Dustin's projects to be seen and understood. We also dont want them to be boring. LONG videos, but hopefully not boring. It's not the fastest or easiest way to make CZcams videos so we are always encouraged when we receive comments like yours. Thanks!
Well Devon, you are both doing a great job, Dustin makes some really cool stuff and it;s great being able to watch him through your video skills, I stay up way too late nites watching his cool work!!
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship And let me add my complements to the guitar player(s). Adds a lot to the video.
@@forester057 thank you! That’s also Devon, with a few musician friends who used to be in a band together called Pushing Giants.
Your daughter walking slow during the sped up part which made her walk in normal time made me lol.
Watching a good crafts person at their work, for me, is the height of entertainment. Thank you for the experience...
Very nice, lots of work, no wonder leather craftsmen get the prices they get!!
Excellent workmanship and Yes! add a vid about the firesteel. Every detail counts. Your daughter knows how to take advantage of time lapse - clever!
I have built multiple knife sheaths and have been contemplating one with double stitching and a lanyard hole, so this video has touched all the bases. Thank you very much.
That is an AWESOME sheath! It's like you read my mind with the fire stick holder..
What a beautiful sheath!! The care, thought, and time you put into it definitely shows. Very impressive! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the great video!!
VERY nice build! Love that Gum Tragacanth! Good stuff! I'd be willing to bet that most folks have NO idea how much work goes into making a custom sheath!
I have been following your videos for several years and have learned a lot!
BTW, I love how you use normal things to accomplish what you need to do! I also loved the daughter photo bombs!
Excellent. I learned a few things that I've been wondering about for years.
Great video. Clearly made with a lot of love (the sheath too). Thanks for taking the time to include every step.
Beautiful work Dustin....I’ve been doing leather work for almost 40 years, but I always learn something from your videos...thank you so much,
I loved it!! This video took me back when I was kid at my great-grandfathers garage were use to make knife sheaths , beutiful leather work ,I need to get into this beautiful art I love the smell of leather. thanks you again for this awesome video , Salutations from Chula Vista Ca 😃😃
As someone not very practical, I really enjoy watching craftsmen at work.
Your videos are very enjoyable to watch, and you have the clear, calm delivery of a natural teacher.
The videos themselves stand head and shoulders above most on CZcams - so well done Devon.
Really good stuff! This might have been your best project and outcome! Thanks for your effort.
I have learnt a great deal by following your videos and watching the way you do things. Thanks.
Dustin thank you very much for the great video. Very instructional, excellent work.
Forking good job there. Thanks for the great idea for when I get round to making my own sheath and getting the stitch spacing perfect
I've been watching videos for days trying to figure out how I want to make my next sheath.
Sir, this is beautiful work, practical, and superb craftsmanship.
And great video quality and sound too.
Very, Very well done!!!
Beautiful leather work. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge... a real treat to watch. Keep up your excellent work. Good luck.
I love it when I watch a leather working video and see something new! I'm gonna have to add a fork or two to my tool kit!
Thanks for another great video. That knife and sheath combo are beyond gorgeous. You videos are so relaxing.
Beautiful long lasting conception and great realization. Thank you for sharing simplicity is really something complex to achieve and you did it perfectly.
Great craftmanship
Seriously excellent job man! Love how people can share their skills on CZcams and inspire us to step up our game. Thx
This guy is the best I've seen, bar none !
Gorgeous craftsmanship my friend.
Beautiful job.
DEF A master of your craft
You are an Artist sir. Very ,Very Nice !
Thanks Bill
Beautiful work! You are a true craftsman! I never realized how much work is involved in a leather sheath. I definitely want to see the fire steel video!
I used to do quite a bit off leatherwork and yours is great... Very professional!
Great video. You not only made the knife, but a sheath to fit it also. That is a first!
Well done. I like the dark brown color, and the flat/semigloss finish. Looks good with the brass buttons too. Tip-top, thumbs up..
Beautiful sheath to go with a beautiful knife. Fantastic craftsmanship skills and a great job all round. Well done!
Nice, work! Love the finish of the leather. The way you integrated the firesteel was superb ive seen alot of clunky methods but this was very tidy and minimalistic.
BEAUTIFUL piece of craftsmanship!
Great tutorial. I like the grooves you put in the sheath leather before you folded it over. I’ve never done that, it’s a great idea I’ll have to try next time.
I have always wet the leather before stitching, helps thread to pull down into the leather. Helps to wet fold lines too. I like to wet the leather after all stitching is done too, I use the ball end of a screwdriver as a burnisher. Nice job on knife and sheath. It's nice to watch a fellow craftsman who takes pride in his work! Nice to make it look like you did it "on purpose"!
The sheath really turned out nice! You make so many of the things that I also have really wanted to make. It's really nice that you show how to make things and the proper steps in the creation process. I really thank you for showing all the details. I also really like the music you play. Thanks again!
Great vid, excellent description of the step by step instructions
Just getting into leather. Really enjoyed your video and learned quite a bit. Thanks. M
Thank Michael, good luck.
An excellent home for a fine blade, well done.
Great walk through. Well done. Nice to see the details.
I saw the knife video, and thought to myself ‘He could do with a nice sheath for that.’ and lo and behold, here you are making one, and what a beauty it is. Loved the knife, and love the sheath. Your channel is aptly named, for you are definitely a Craftsman.
The sheath looks really nice. Enjoy watching you work too. You have a great channel.
Awesome sheath, thanks for the share. Don't know why I never thought about using pvc pipe before.
You are so good , thank you so much for the vetoes . You inspire me thanks you again
Thanks for watching Rod!
Increíble trabajo!! Beautiful work!!
Thanks for sharing video, enjoyed the attention to details. 👏🏽👍🏽
Great video, thanks for sharing. I really love the design & style of your knife sheath, well done.
You are a Master Craftsman!
Great video Sir an thanks for the knowledge. That sheath is awesome bro !!!!!!!!
Really love your work!! Thanks for sharing!!
Outstanding work. The true art of craftsmanship ... your patience, skill and a superb sheath at the end. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Most beautiful bush knife and sheath I have ever seen. Absolutely Bravo!!!!!!
Dude, I LOVE the fork spacer! Great work.
One video. THIS sheath. Now I am a subscriber. Simply magnificent.
Very nice,glad to see the younger generation carrying on the tradition of kobler work.i really liked your table fork to mark the stitching holes,clever ! Haven't seen that in 30 years of leather working..
Thank you for your insight that's pretty cool having equipment right there.🕶"
I love the fact that you made this with tools that you had on hand. I watched other videos and thought, I can't afford all those special tools. It came out beautiful.
Brilliant work, so very talented, well done.
Excellent vid as always! Measure total thread length, X4, add 6 inches, you will always have enough. No need to guess and have to re-do.
Beautiful knive and sheath!
Killer beard! 🤠
Great sheath. Excellent tool handling at 14:40, also.
Damn that is a good looking sheath and knife combo.
Watched it all the way through good job
I've just been doing two grooves for folds, i'm gonna try 3, i thought it may be too much groove but seeing this.....now i'm gonna give it a try my next project. thank you
Depends on the tool you are using to groove and the thickness of leather being grooved... if it's a V Groove or U Groove and thicker leather then yeah multiple grooves may be required, if on the other hand you use something called a French Skive to make the bend relief, they come in different widths, so just using a Wider one to create that bend relief is all that's required...
Awesome sheath!I love it!
A very detailed tutorial and superb craftsmanship Sir. No fuzz, no loud music. Straight to the point. I appreciate that and my compliments also to the videographer.
Thanks for sharing. Nice job!
Simple and perfect. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Great job ,sifu master !👏👏👏👍
Great work! Also the cinematic is quality is excellent And your daughter made me laugh. 👍🏻
I've really enjoyed watching your videos & thanks for the instructions on leather sheath work! I've watched a number of your videos and love all of them! Please show the video about your fire steel work too!
Wonderfully done!
Excellent work! I enjoyed this learned a few things, thank you.
Wow! Impressive!
Very talented, great job and sooooo relaxing watching it👍🇦🇺
Nice job. I’m going to have to do one for my Bob. I love to see I’m not the only one that uses a drill press and a fork!!! Sometimes I also use a petty paws Dremel to also drill holes!! Lol
Whatever it takes Brandon... haha
the fork trick ... nice and some nice seam tools too .... very good work
Watching you prepare for stitching and thinking to myself I need to get a pricking iron, then I watched you pick up a kitchen fork...cracked me up. Lots of channels here have thousands of dollars in tools, you did great work without most of them, thanks for getting my creativity flowing. The dowel burnisher, wood clamp leather vise, fork pricking iron just to name a few great ideas. I am finishing up the handle scales on a Woodriver Tanto knife blank and getting ready to start the leather work in a few days, thanks for the inspiration.
Well done! FireSteel video for sure
This is REAL close to how I made mine. Of course, your video is WAY better- as I comment every dang time, your camera person ROCKS!
Loved the fork! GREAT idea. Typically great video. Some really creative ideas here.
Thanks again Dillo!
excellent work...leaving a great aged look as well..👍
Absolutely beautiful sheath and knife. Your channel is appropriately named. You are a true craftsman. I truly enjoy your videos. Thx.
Great job.
Very beauty! 👍
