  • In this video I make a molded leather sheath for my buddy. He wants a sheath to keep his Leatherman and the extra bits together.

    cool addition to this would be to make two compartments in the sheath. that way when you take the leatherman out the bits holders don't move so you don't have to fuss with them when you but the leatherman back in

    I realize you don't need or want my approval, but I'm very impressed with your channel. you're a couple of years younger than I am, but your ideas are brilliant. I get a ton of great ideas, and education from you.
    thanks

    Someone just donated 30lbs of leather to my shop because I make.. This and other leather videos of yours have inspired me to get the tools and get to making leather projects! Ty Jimmy!

    I always watch youtube videos at 2x speed... you know... many youtubers don't really know how to edit a video, or how to go straight to the point.
    Diresta's ones makes me change this setting... he doesn't waste our time.

    You know how I know Jimmy's videos are awesome? Because I hit the thumbs up button before I have even watched them.

    Good video. Just recently I learned about how finishing the edges and corners of the leather with a chamfer will prevent cracking, tearing and looks much less "rustic". You can do it with a razor, a power sander or a special tool called a skiver.
    For sewing I use a sailmakers palm to push the needle, triangular sail needles and polyester thread coated with beeswax.
    Even when I use a rake to punch the holes I strike a line w a pencil so my stitching is nice and neat.

    + Jimmy DiResta. You got a good result with that unusual moulding technique but it will go much easier if you soak the leather for about 20 minutes then leave it in a plastic bag for a few hours (even overnight). The leather becomes almost putty like in it's moulding capability. You would only need to make the block and mould it over the block and pin it to the baseboard . Leave it to dry and you are ready to finish it.

  • @timpinxteren
    @timpinxteren Před 8 lety +4

    Nice build, like always! What I always like to do when it comes to sewing leather, is to make a V groove along the thread holes. This way the thread falls into the groove and is less prone to wearing out over time, due to friction with clothing etc.

    • @timpinxteren
      @timpinxteren Před 8 lety

      Also, a wooden polishing stick with bees wax is a great tool for getting clean and polished edges on your leather

    Jimmy, i know you showed it in your EDC video, and like you I am always sitting my tape measure down and forgetting about it in the shop. I think your solution is genius having it on fixed on your belt. you should do a video on your tape holder!.. unless you already have and I missed it.
    keep up the great work.

    I carry all those leatherman bits everyday, plus a Skeletool. I bring them in an Altoids Smalls in though, along with an extra AAA battery and some odds and ends. It fits in the "watch pocket" of jeans. And yes, all bits fit in there! The size is roughly comparable to 2 AAs shrink-wrapped together.

    Great stuff. You should have added a strip of elastic band to separate the tool from bit kits. They are always in the way in my case, and I use them very rarely, which is, I think, a common case.

    Nice work Jimmy, the mold took really well. I'm surprised how well the edge detail stamping embossed, most leatherwork videos I see people wet the leather to soften the fibres, but you seemed to still get a nice strong impression
