- 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
Exactly what I was about to comment until I saw you'd covered it already LOL

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
I just love how this guy can turn his hand to anything. The guy has skills and amazing ones at that! Top work fella.
Diresta videos are the best part of youtube.
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!
AWESOME!!!
Thanks for sharing 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 always has the coolest videos!!!
Jep :D
Mhmmm
+ 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.
Good to know.
Thanks! I'm going to make a holster for my son's Nerf pistol, and if you're right, that will make it much easier.
No "DIRESTA" stamping? I'm surprised! Great video as always, Jimmy!
Incredible Jimmy!!! 😃
Once again, awesome! Thanks Jimmy!
Love how you make these things so accessible jimmy. I’ve got a leatherman coming for Christmas. Now I’ll have an ace case by the new year 🤙
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.
Also, a wooden polishing stick with bees wax is a great tool for getting clean and polished edges on your leather
Good tip sir.
I love 3.20. The clamp holding a clamp holding a clamp
Badass, Jimmy! Thanks for showing more leatherwork. You show it in a way that's pretty accessible such that I want to give it a shot. Good job!
Have to start some fun with leather tools. Nice Make: Jimmy!
Pure inspiration jimmy, love it!
Beautiful work!
truly... the King of clamps !!!...great job, as always !
Nice. Love how you molded the leather!
i dont know how, i dont know why, diresta viedos are so magical, and all that i can hear, its some little speedup hits ~♡
Simple stamping sure helps draw the eye in. I just ordered myself a stamp set. Nice work !
Great birthday present! THX!
LOL, love the little modelling shot at the end.
I needed some inspiration to do some leatherwork, thanks!
Great video! I always like watching your leather working videos...you use creative ways that other traditional leather workers don't. I'm looking to get into leather, so I like seeing different methods.
Legend has it, this is actually slow motion.
definitely: excellent work!
Nice improvised stitching pony! :)
EXCELLENT work Sir.
And, a great video.
Thank you, Sir.

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.
You make it look Sooooo easy !!! Great job Jimmy Hopefully I can visit your shop some day
I laughed so much when you threw the wooden pieces of the mold :D nice vid !
Beautiful work
Excellent work
Excellent. Gonna have to try this again.
Great!
You just gave me LOTS of ideas. Thanks for sharing!! : )
Nice work!
Nice!
really came out great! 🤓
Excellent!
That is a very nice sheath.
This guys got some skills ! Love watching your vids 👍🏻
loved the tossing
Wonderful vid... love to see the leather stuff. The "Poo-Pourri" ad before the vid only makes it better, really. Much love to Jimmy D!
This guys a legend
This is the most satisfying video I've ever seen
Every time I see you cutting things on the band saw at high speed it freaks me the hell out. Regular speed no problems :-)
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.
Looks like you need some thicker thread. Good build as always! Love seeing you build and learn along the way.
Nice job friend.
Nice triple clamp action on the sow up, always nice to work at a comfortable height
A true craftsman
Very cool!
Thanks, more inspiration for me to do this to do a upgrade sheath for my Super Leatherman.
The Diresta "utility belt" is coming along nicely.. Batman
Makes the one I put together last month look bad, but it is doing the job of keeping the parts together. Just used 2 scraps of leather and stitched pockets for the clone leatherman and the knife.
Feliz 2019!
Saludos desde Córdoba Argentina
MADE IN THE USA!! Great job Jimmy!!
sublime job as usual bro'
Schweeet! Very Inspirational Brother! Have A Super Week!..... Gus
As I always say, You have soo cool toys...
Been waiting for this video
Very nice !
Cool stuff! Gotta get into this myself
Hi Jimmy! would you mind showing how you do your lather stitching?
Thanks!!!
Nice pouch. You seem to end up with alot of scrap material like wood, metal, and leather when your done with projects. Maybe make a video about using the left over scraps and stuff?
What a nice idea!
Adam Savage made the best leatherman sheath EVER!
Nice ! Thank you for inspiration.
I thought for sure you'd stamp DIRESTA on it somewhere!
Next video, making a tiny DIRESTA brand out of old broken tools.
I really enjoy these videos
i have one of those utility knives youre using in this vid its by far the best one ive ever owned, dont think they are made anymore which is a shame
that's brilliant
thats pretty damn neat
A custom "batman like" utility belt would be a cool build. Diresta Utility belt and Signal light.
beautiful
superbbb cheers :-)
amazing!
Nice job
i glued those two bit holders together,makes handling them much easier.
Awesome as always! May I suggest a leather working tips video! I'd love to get into using it but know nothing of it....apart from what I have learnt off you lol keep up the good work!
Nice. I made one for my wave. I like a clip rather then a look as its easier to take on and off. Wish i had filmed it now.
Yet another educational and inspirational video. Oh, and can't fail to mention entertaining too!
Coupla of questions: 1) where'd ya learn all this cool stuff? and Where'd ya get the leather from?
Definitely ends up on my "to do" list
* "to do next year" ? hahahaha.
+Ian Kyle Maturan oh, right, didn't I mention that? ;)
Great job as usual! I only wish that leather was as cheap here in Greece as in the U.S.
Man, you are the shiz-nit! Great video, I'm going to try my hand at making a sheath for a skinning knife I made for a friend.
From NYC Just got into leather working, where are good places for buying leather craft supplies? Also what glue do you use?
Pretty.
Very cool.
super nice
I have some leather tools around here somewhere .Thanks for the inspiration. Peace.
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.
What Jimmy doesn’t make he find it in the streets of NY!!!
I like how you didn't add a finish to it....it looks cool like that...awesome work!
Fantástico, lo voy a hacer para mi navaja suiza...
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
