- Today in the shop we take a well loved and used axe sheath, and with a few pieces of leather and a new snap, restore it to its former glory. If you want to see our video creating a new knife sheath for my wife’s bushcraft knife, and dive a little deeper into some of the details of leather work, check it out here. • Making a Leather Knife...

Very nice. My dad just asked me to make a replacement sheath for the hatchet he has had since he was a Cub Scott. This looks like what he described. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks Ryan. Good luck.
I love watching skilled workmen.
Good job.
I struggle with decisions on restoring axe sheaths that are starting to fall apart. I love how you addressed this and have something similar I'd like to try out now.
Thanks
You should be proud of the work you do. I have worked leather for almost 50 years you did good in
my view. As for all your other work on knives and axes your program is my favorite to watch. God bless you and your family and keep up the good work.
Thanks alot Mark!
I'm a leather artisan and I think you did a good job.
you are a master craftsman, beautiful piece, great work of art. thank you sir.
Thank you
Better than new after restoration, great work.
I am about 30 mins away from Collinsville, Ct where they made these axes. The factory is now a pretty cool antique shop.
My grandfather gave me a beautiful Hudson Bay style Collins axe.
Now I’m ready to restore my 60-year-old Boy Scout hand axe sheath. Thanks for the inspiration, Dustin!
Thank for watching Uncle Jack. Get in that shop.
Stitching new life into old leather... an excellent restoration. Very well done.
That sheath ended up looking gorgeous!! I will say, if you haven't replaced them yet, you really, REALLY need a new pair or to sharpen those scissors!!!! LOL It's also a good idea not to use a steel hammer on your snap punches, or any other punches etc., either use a mild steel hammer or one of those hard rubber mallet's so you don't damage the top of your tools. Great project and thanks for sharing. I really didn't think that pouch could be saved, but you managed it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
impressive! you do nice work buddy! keep it up!
Beautiful, nicely done
Nice Work!
Awesome video keep them coming
Another great video. Keep it up!
Really nice restore.
¡Que manera de aprovechar las bondades de la piel!... te felicito, gracias por el video y tus consejos.
very well done sir.
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
that came out beautiful sir. I'm very much enjoying your channel.
Wonderful restoration. I'd like to see an axe sheath made, for a viking-style axe, with long curved blade.
I need one now
Nice job it looks good, but I think if you continued the stitch on the flap around the snap would have a more finishes look.
Good job. Most leather workers use rubber cement. That's a lot of effort and it still has damage. I think it might have been time to make a new sheath.
Agreed -- I'd'a just made a new one, but the lesson that you can restore an old classic is also valuable. Some things are more legendary when the original is preserved and restored.
I subbed here yesterday love ur videos
I'm a new subscriber … Enjoyed your restoration of a leather sheath and axe, Nice job.
I like how you've trimmed your beard. Mine looks like Rasputins forest ... How did you cut it to shape? By hand?
Bravo glad you didn’t strip it right back and lose the character of the darker areas.
Off topic: Is the hammer face on an axe and hatchet supposed to be flat or convex? I want to know as I am going to restore my Plumb #3 axe and rehandle it for the first time and want to know if I should make the hammer face flat. It is a one bit.
Please Snow Proof or Obenauf’s
can you please tell me what Leather Edge Stitching Groover tool you have. Really like it better than the one I am using right now. Thanks in advance.
Can you make one for your dbl bit axe?
Is there a snaps kit (quality) that you would recommend or did you build your set?
What specific contact cement do you use?
What is meats foot oil?
Nice job on several of you videos. Where you located?
Thanks for the compliment. I am in Maryland, (US).
When are you making new videos?
Thanks for watching and sorry for the delay. We are currently working on one and have several in the works. Any requests?
The Art of Craftsmanship do you make rings? If so i have a cool idea. You could make a ring from a metal nut by sanding the inside.
