Making The Four Item Leg Sheath

- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- I show step by step, how I make a leg sheath that holds a machete, folding saw, fixed blade knife and a possible pouch. If sewing bores you, skip to the end of video to see it. My friend Duane makes leather sheaths on the side. You can contact him at LastDitchLeatherworks@AOL.com
Brother it is never a PAIN to watch you doing your craft, you have an unusually uncanny way of making 99.999% of everything your videos are about to be extremely interesting and entertaining. I am for one, extremely grateful for all of the youtube videos that you have done and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing all the youtube video projects you that are still yet to come. I SALUTE You! :)
+jade22jade Thanks Brother! I try my best to make em as interesting as possible. Thanks for watching.
I see we both have the same favorite Philosopher, Walt Disney, he was the one that said "If you can think it, you can do it". Thanx David.
Nice set up Dave! 👍 I had to leave the craft room because my mother being a pro with a sewing a machine was beginning to be a critic!! LOL.. aye yi yi!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. LOL, man any critic would hate my sewing. It holds stuff together but I aint trying to win no beauty contest! Thanks for watching
Idea for your plastic liners: before you insert them in the sheath, use an iron and form it around your machete/knife/etc to make it a more custom fit.
Thank you for sharing your talent!
Good idea! I'll have to see if that works. Thanks for watching Joseph
I remember this one. I believe its the very vid that gave me the idea to put the kit together. I couldn't make the setup you did. my wife and I actually purchased the business about 2 weeks prior to this vid. most of our initial work was winter shutdown. that includes loads of tree work. and sadly I believe the previous owner was either overwhelmed or burnt out. we had a lot of cleaning up lots of work that he just never did. hell one property was in such poor shape 1/4 of the owners trees died out before we took over. worked a whole month in an acre lot. anyway bud thanks again and thanks for reminding me who and where I seen this vid. its a great one. God's speed.
+apacheredwolfe Man you have a lot of work to do there! It takes me forever to take care of my trees and bushes. This pouch can help out with any trimming chore. Take care and Thanks for watching
Nice work there David. Your videos are the most informative and entertaining on CZcams.
Thanks Brother! Im happy you like em that much.
I'm disabled and can't begin to go on any of these trips out in the woods, but you're fascinating me with your abilities! And your accent has me hooked. I got tickled when you were talking about the bottom of the pouch. You said you were "gonna pucker 'em up", but it's called "pleating." LOL 😊 Now I HAVE to subscribe!!!!
Great to hear you like the videos Cindy! If you liked my pucker em up comment you'll really like my other sewing videos!
I have been watching your videos now for several months. I am a a rank beginner at the age of 70 but just trying to learn some new skills. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
You are never too old to learn or pick up a new hobby Ray. Thanks for watching my friend!
Older video but still great information! The black stitching actually helps show how it is constructed and I found that really helpful. Thanks Dave !!
Thanks John, I'm glad you liked it
I used to sew bags when I was young like you! I loved the productivity!
Very cool to hear that!
Mr. Pearson, Sir, an excellent idea ... at your pace, step-by-step, gets your project done.
Thank you Sir, for your hard work in producing this video.
Oscar
Thanks Oscar I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Wow, Dave. I wish I had access to vids like these 40 years ago. Keep up the great work.
Great to hear that Jim!
I never tire of your manly sewing. I learn every time. Am trying to make a pouch for the laplander to Velcro to the CRKT Chanceinhell sheath. Saw in your video an easy technique for what I want. Thanks Dave!!
Fantastic to hear that Eddie! I hope the pouch turns out good. That CRKT and Laplander will be a great combo
Just bought a machete which comes w/o sheath and was looking around to buy or make one, YT suggested this video. Nice! Gave me some ideas.
Sounds great! Making a sheath isnt really too bad.
You sr. are a genius, Id say there isn't anything you cant do. I love that you show the step by step sewing. I cant sew but your videos make me want to learn how id love something like that. I also love that you say if you can think of it you can make it. If i only had your talent. As always love your channel learned alot as always. thanks for sharing .
Thank you Brian! For years and years I could made anything by woodworking, welding, machining but sewing was the only thing I couldn't do so I forced myself to learn how and now it's fun and easy! Give it a shot. Thanks for watching brother
Great Sheath! One-Turn-Key-Solution......all in one...just great! Thanks Dave!
Billy
Thanks Billy, I'm glad you liked it. So far its been the best "in camp" pouch Ive ever used! Thanks for watching
Good to watch you again, i have to say that you are the one that got me into the bushcrafting part of being in the woods. Thanks
Rick Lindsey Thats awesome to hear brother. Camping is fun but Bushcrafting a lifetime hobby! Stay at it Rick and take care man.
You have made my grandfather proud with all of that sewing. Keep it up and great job.
Allen Stalions Thanks! Im glad you liked it. To me, sewing is a much needed skill just like wood working or welding. If you cant buy something, you gotta make it.
And again and again! I watch good videos again and again!
👍 = there is nothing left to say! Everything perfect!
Thank you my friend!
Well done on all that sewing to create your project. It came out looking real rugged at the end. I especially like how it snugs to the tree without having to put notches in the tree. On to the next video.
Bridgette Brown Thanks! Im glad you liked it. As far as rugged, I believe it is, I double and tripled the stitches. I want this one to last! See ya in the next one.
Forget about the Forest Gump thing. You Sir are more of a MacGyver kinda guy. Im new to your channel and bush craft .I have learned so much from your videos. Impressive sewing skills. How does that saying go necessity is the mother of invention. GREAT JOB thanks for the education. Not everyone has creative ability you have a true blessing. Thanks again for sharing with those of us who are creatively challenged .LOLOL
rene' carrillo Thanks Rene! Im glad you like the vids and what I do. Welcome to the wonderful world of Bushcraft. The best outdoor hobby there is. Yes, necessity is the mother of inventions. And being cheap like me. LOL. I gotta remember that creatively challenged! Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
David, your the Tim the tool man of bushcraft. An yes your videos are entertaining. Thanks
Fantastic to hear that and thanks for watching my friend!
Loved watching you sew all manly-like in your plaid shirt 'n all, lol Great to see a guy sewing, cuz as a sewer myself, I see the price on different sheaths & bushcraft pouches, & they're too costly. Plus, I'd never seen a multi-task pouch like that. Fantastic how it goes on a tree too! Keep it up Dave---informative & a chuckle at the same time :) You'll make someone a great wife...jk
Sophie Daley Well my buds all got on me for calling it a sewing machine and stated it is a "Thread Injector" when a man uses it. LOL. I just call it a useful tool. Not only are pouches expensive but, I got into sewing because theres so much gear that you cant buy and I wanted. Someones wife? Ah cut me some slack, lol. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Welcome back! Really missed your videos. Hope to see you often in the future. By-the-way, I've made many of these knife sheaths but not with multiple compartments. Good information!
You could win a beauty contest Dave, who knows!! your dancing was pretty neat at the end as well, keep em' coming mate.
Ray Townson LOL, Im no dancer bro! More on the way my friend.
David, Not one second of this video was boring. I think it was fascinating watching you design and build this cool sheath. Since I started watching your videos I do not believe I have seen a boring one yet and I do not expect I ever will unless you work extra hard to make it boring and if you do I will be sure to let you know.
URFreakinmeout2much Thanks! Im glad you liked it and didnt find it boring. I know most of my videos are outdoors but I always question myself on the step by step DIY videos. I did think it was a good thing to film each step in case anyone wanted to make a sheath. I'll never try and make one boring on purpose, LOL. Take care brother!
What a pleasure having you back.
Thanks for taking the time to explain and show us this. It will give me a project this winter as I have never sewn before but want to give it a shot.
Perfect video
Big Man in Maine
- Billy
billy dingo Always good to be back. Sounds great man. I watched a few videos on sewing on youtube then I just sat down and started sewing. The more you do, the easier it becomes. Good luck brother!
Dave, as usual another super interesting video. Will there be any more videos anytime soon? Never mind that you have a job and family to take care of. Is there any possibility of any actual overnight camping trips for say like a night or two. Personally I have learned so much watching you. Your presentation is generally through and to the point yet humorous and entertaining. Thank you for taking time out of your busy life and schedule to put out the videos that you do.
+Forrest Nettleton Thank you Forrest , I'm glad you liked it. Well, I actually do still do one nights a lot on the weekends. The thing is alot of times I use a shelter that Ive already shown. I try my best to never show a set up twice unless its radically changed. For all the trouble of filming and editing I like to show all new never before seen stuff. More new stuff in the works and possibly some overnighters in a new winter shelter Im building.Thanks for watching!
Hello David, this is an inspiring video for me, to "do it" or to start doing things never done before, or even never thought of doing before. Greetings, Michael
Great to hear that Michael!
Wow, great job. Always satisfying to make something yourself and just how you want it.
Living Survival Thanks! Im glad you liked it.
Your sheath is great. It has absolutely inspired me. Guess I'll start with canvas. I have tooled leather, but I'll have to make sure my patterns are just right for my tools and knives first. Thanks so much for this video and all the others as well.
Thanks Frankie1 I'm happy you liked it and it inspired you. I havent worked much with leather, just always canvas or cordura. Im guessing if you can make a pattern first, then layer the leather just right, a set up made like this out of leather should last dang near forever! Good luck with it and thanks for watching
You inspired me to re-sheath some of my knives they have been needing it for along time. great video
Great to hear that Calvin!
First i do like watching people that can sowing that can give me and idea of what i can make and i do like watching you because you explain what you are doing and i have said this before I'm glad that i started watching you tube for a lot of things that i like and i have wathing a lot of people do a lot of making there oun makings and it's really cool and i got my wife wathing a little bit of what I'm wathing keep cool and PEACE
Thanks man and believe it or not, I actually learned how to sew by watching youtube videos!
Outstanding video Dave. Great inventiveness on the sheath. I got a Chanceinhell blade and you got me thinking how to attach extra gear to it's sheath. I'll have to show your video to my wife who's in charge of the sewing machine! Really like your videos; they're a lot of fun!
Bill Halliwell Cool! Im glad you liked it Bill. Thats also cool to hear you want to make a multi set up. I figured that for any blade its great to have the original sheath and also have a multi carry sheath too. Show her the vid but tell her to not laugh at my sloppy sewing, LOL. Good luck brother.
Classic man-cave library: a Haynes manual for Dodge Full-Size Pick-Ups, SAS Survival Guide and books on UFOs. I think we shop at the same bookstore.
Lol! My favorite subjects Joel
So relieved to see you back! Your ideas are always interesting even if the creations are beyond my abilities! Always look forward to your posts, Dave.
clobbohead Its always good to be back brother, Thanks for watching.
There he is! :) So good to see you brother! What an excellent idea! Seems like we get too caught up with modification and forget all about invention. We all have our choices in knives, but, a suitable sheath can be hard to find. Its refreshing to see an original video, David. A+++ Can't wait to see more.
boggycreekbeast Thanks Brother!! Im glad you liked it. I understand completely on the modification over invention. Ive spend years modifying my sheathes but sometimes, its so much better to just built what you want from scratch. More on the way, I hope all is well with you.
I kind of think of that sheath as the carpenter belt of survival/bushcraft.:) I'm gonna have to make me one. I enjoy your videos. I can't wait to see more, David. I'm doing ok brother.
boggycreekbeast Sounds cool, if you make one, show it in a video. "Bushcrafters Belt"!
HaHaHa! Mine would suck bad, David!
I wish I had 1/4 your talent.
Once again you make a one of a kind, very cool, it holds everything you could possibly need, the "Kitchen Sink Sheath" lol... Have a Blessed one David.
CGLouisiana Thanks! Im glad you liked it. The kitchen sink goes in my backpack. LOL! Be good and take care!
Fantastic dreaming!
Good to see you're on line again...,
Clark
Your a smart cookie. I've been thinking of doing a pouch like it and you did the hard work for me. Thank you so much.
Sounds great Betty!
Once again i get to enjoy your vids with my morning coffee . Love the sewing. :-)
Dennis Cook Cool! Im glad you liked it Dennis. Ah coffee and sewing, what a great way to spend a day!
Silky is the God of folding saws.
Oh absolutely!
You’ve got some nice gear mate, I spotted Moras, Condors, Silkys, Leatherman and more.👍🏼
Thanks Adam! I hate dealing with cheap cutting tools, I like ones that last
I still go back and watch your oder videos . Will with Ontario Knife changing there sheths (crappy) i'm going to have to learn to use a sewing machine so watching your videos for ideas. Thanks
I've heard they are making the sheaths cheaper, thats bad. My older sheaths are excellent. Thanks for watching brother
David, you are amazing. I keep going over your videos and your knowledge on so many subjects just overwhelms me, Please keep doing it. I am a fan and one of your students.
Thank you........
robert oneal Thank you Robert, thats awesome man. Im glad the videos help. More to come.
Great video! Thanks! I actually watched this right when you posted it but I didn't comment. In response to your comment while sitting in front of the sewing machine, I agree that there's nothing un-manly about using just another tool (in this case a sewing machine) to make cool gear. Whether you're sewing, welding, or wrapping things with ropes or cords, you have made a lot of cool items and shelters over the years, and you've inspired me to learn new skills, create new gear, and even try some foods that you've shared with us. Thanks for bringing us along as you made this sheath.
Mike Fisher I was happy to bring yall along and Im glad you liked it. To me, the best part of outdoors is using gear youve made yourself. Thats awesome my ideas inspired you. Take care brother.
Really glad to see you back and motivated. Judging by the comments you have a following of some very nice people. Not surprised since you are one of nicer people on you tube. Your vids are never boring, and your excitement is contagious. Don't forget we look forward to your vids to see you as well as your projects. Keep up the great work. I wish you much good luck and happiness.
joenet42567 Thanks! Im glad you like the vids and what I do. I just try and be myself in front of the camera. Whenever I plan to make something, I always ask myself if it would be cool to film? Thats how a lot of the ole videos come to life. Take care now!
Nice 👍 pouch Dave keep up with all your other projects big thanks
Thanks Dave! I'm glad you liked it
I actually enjoyed watching you sew....your manly stuff!! It takes a real man to sew on video for the world to see....LOL. Thanks for sharing.
ladyb003 LOL, Thats cool to hear manly with sewing. Makes me feel good. Thanks for watching my friend.
Great video and glad to see you back,thanks buddy!!
Good video again! I really like that design and appreciate you taking the time to show us all that goes into the design. Great sheath design!
SatsumaTengu14 Thanks! Im glad you liked it. I am very happy with how it turned out, I did do A LOT of thinking on what I wanted before I made it. I love it when a plan works out, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.
Hey Dave, This is Duane from LastDitchLeatherworks. Great video, once again. Thank you for mentioning my sheath. I have been thinking about a sheath like you made for a while. Bow season is among us here, and it is PERFECT to carry all the tools for setting up my tree stands. Less than a mile hike in the woods, and has everything you would need. A+++ sheath
TheMonkeyGun Thanks Duane! Im glad you liked it. Im still loving your sheath man. Thats a great idea for the multi sheath! I never even thought about it being used for clearing the trail and clearing for a tree stand. Good idea. Take care man
I saw the little "1" beside the name in my subscriptions list and said "OH HELL YEAH!". Thank God! Glad to see you back, Dave, you've been missed man!
Jamie Hitt LOL! Yep, its me brother. I hope to film more often in the upcoming year. I always miss my youtube friends
Excellent job making a four item sheath! I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Ronald. That four item sheath has been a joy to use around camp!
Hello David!
A wondrous video, I love this kind of videos! What a pity is that I can not give you any more "thumbs up" every time!
Thank you my friend!
So glad to see you back. Your vids and overall genuine outdoorsman attitude is great, you are surely one of the best in the business !
Julius Gonzo Thanks! Im glad you like what I do, Those words mean a lot to me my friend!
You need an agent, not to change what you do, but to promote what you do. Sooner, rather than later the "pure outdoor survival in the jungle stuff" will fade, but the woodsman instruction and enjoying the outdoors "with the necessary skills", will still be in demand. and you have the genuine style to pull this off if you don't change a thing....go for it !
Sewing Machine= One of the greatest power tools ever invented.
Jackle61 I agree 100%!!!! They are amazing machines. Thanks for watching.
im glad your back!, looks great. a real man knows how to sew. jack of all trades buddy!
david onuszko Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Youre right! Sewing can be a manly skill if the project is manly.
You might just want to contact Malcom Codurre over at the hidden woodsman. This needs to be produced on a somewhat regular basis, this is an awesome Idea David. Glad to see you back in front of a camera........ even if it is sitting at a sewing machine......... Maybe you could start a second channel...... Tailer dave's bushcraft sewing projects.
Galen Long Im glad you liked it that much bro. I have no idea how easy it would be to make and sell these. It would depend on if all the tools were that same size I suppose? A second channel? Ah man, I cant keep up with one! LOL. Take care brother.
LOL. It was so good seeing you again buddy. as faras that sheath goesI think Malcome could make it work at least as a tool sheath for a tree like you had it at last. It is an awesome Idea. You take care bro.
Glad to see you back on CZcams. Love the leg sheath, great idea. Thanks
MyAnjelGirl Thanks! Im glad you liked it.
Glad to have you back.
Like the video.
I am going to try a fall,winter night camping soon.
Some of your past videos has been a help.
Keep them coming.
Robert Barbour Im glad you liked it and its always good to hear my videos helped out. Have fun camping, stay warm and take care.
Brilliant sheath
Nice to see Dave back bushcrafting now let's see you back in the woods.
👍
Tony Eden Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Next video is already filmed but not edited, and its in the woods! Take care Tony!
"I'm sick of sewing" :) you're cracking me up! Patience, details and humor, stellar! Sewing, sheet rock, cooking, rock work; it's all just skills - only society puts "gender" into it. Yay, I heard Peeper Frogs at the end. This is very inspiring, when you can't find exactly what's needed, making it is the only way. Alright, getting late here, and I'm gonna watch one more. My body is tired from shoveling snow from the storm we had. Final part of the storm was perfect for Snow Cream, which we don't get every time... was yummy.
Lol, you're right. It's all skills we all can learn. I'm happy you liked it, I hope you don't have to shovel any more snow. Thanks for watching
Great design Dave, using the plastic inlays is a cool idea and the double straps for a campside toolcenter-use are awesome too! Very well thought! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Marc
Marc Smerchman Thanks! Im glad you liked it. I did put a ton of thought into this. Take care Marc!
I got a silky saw a couple of Christmas ago from the wife , I went for the fixed blade rather than the folding, it’s just different class so it is, I used the same old bow saw for years but I couldn’t go back now after using the silky.
Oh I hear ya. Them Silky saws are the mac daddy!
Great to see you again Dave! :-)
Muskrat Jim Always good to be back. I hope all is well your way Jim.
I'm still making my videos, and I'm now over 1100 subs! Enjoying every minute my friend!
Actually I mentioned you in the video I shot today :-)
Very cool Dave. I think I'm going to make myself one.
Good to see you again and keep the videos coming.
Savage Creek Survrval Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Fantastic to hear youre gonna make one. I have had this one in my head for two years, I finally gave it a shot and I love it! Good luck and take care man
you did a great job. I hand sew all my leather goods that i make. I don't know how to use a sewing machine yet. I will send you some pictures of my custom leather goods i make.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked it. I just learned a sewing machine about 5 years ago and Ive loved every minute of using one! Thanks for watching
Excellent Job! Love your videos and your creativity not to mention your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing!
Dave in Oregon
***** Thanks! Im glad you like the videos and what I do. I figure it take less energy to laugh than cry. lol. Take care Dave.
About 1 or 2 months ago I did finally get a Mora knife and I like how the knife fits into the sheath just right. It kind of clips into, but not so tight I can't pull the knife out. And the sharpness of the blade is nice for specific jobs I need it for.
Fantastic to hear that! It's very hard to beat a good Mora. Thanks for watching Kachiri
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Well, I still got plenty of your old videos to watch yet. I'm working my way through them. I do love your videos. Especially with things you made or _tricks 'N' tips_ and info I didn't know yet.
Good morning sir, I really like these videos. I would like to make some of my own gear like you do. Your ideas are awesome. Thank you for sharing. Keep em coming.
Good morning and thanks! I'm glad you like the videos and nothing beats homemade gear! Thanks for watching
"If you can dream it up, you can make it." Great job Dave: liners, edging, velcro, and tips like making ends longer and pucker up to expand. Very nice Mora sheath as well. Also I notice Berry College book...have been following their Eagle Cam!
p1nesap Thanks! Im glad you liked it. All the ideas in the sheath have come from screwing up other sheathes. LOL. That Berry Eagle cam is a hit all over the net I hear. Ive been to that tree before and its awesome to see the eagle fly in and out. Hes a huge bird.
Reallybigmonkey1 Cool.
Hi Dave, i could not help but notice that when you made the loops for the leg straps the top one would come up to your front pocket of your jeans, then when you came to show us at the end with it fitted to you it just confirmed that to me, so good idea to leave that one off, as the belt loops would hold it at the top. The sewing machine that I use has a needle like a 4" nail, so no room for error, nice sheath though.
Ray Townson Well, at first I wasnt sure if it would need two straps around the leg but, I did know the further apart they were, the better it would secure to a tree so I just put it up high and was gonna see how it worked out. Im glad you liked it.
Glad to see ya back my friend. Another great idea for keeping all your tools together. Honestly if you add the deluxe stainless steel cook set, a canteen, sleep set and a tarp you'll have what you need for a bug out bag or to take camping. Take care.
Charles Vandergriff Im glad you liked it. A few people mentioned making a sheath for the other leg to balance the weight. Hmmn, possibly a left leg sheath that holds a cover and canteen? Good ideas there. Take care man
Dave I love this set up. Think I will have to make one for myself!!! Good to see you back buddy we've missed you
Leon J Very cool that you wanna make one! Im glad you liked it.
You never cease to amaze me David, your multi tool center is a very good idea. But I just got so use to carry my tool's over the years, for me I find distributing the weight of my tool's work best for me. just for example my Summer Long Knife Set. my Rodent Rucki, my Modde Rodent 6 and a small knife, a Saw and a Hatchet. first of all I like to carry a survival belt, my larger knife or if I go with a 7" blade and a 4" knife, I carry the larger knife on person, just incase I'm somehow seperated from my camp. on my survival belt I have a pouch, my Wicked Tough Saw in a sheath or similar saw, and my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet or similar hatchet on a leather holster that will hold my hatchet, and my canteen and I like a small knife neck carry. My favorite carry that go on my Summer Long Knife Set is my Modde Rodent 6 which I had the blade thinned and the top gaurd taken off and now it look's like a beefy Ratmandu on steriods. my Wicked Tough Saw which is compact and light, and my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet also light and compact, my pouch that I carry fire starters and a little first aid, fishing, etc. stuff and even a small knife if I don't knife carry it. The Rodent Rucki or even my new Summer Long Knife my Parangatang and the Potbelly, just to give my Rucki a rest, I will molle attach it to my backpact or around my sholder. I would love to be as handy as you, but I'm just too invested in my knives that for me it's seems easier to do a balancing act with my tools. but I would love to do what you do, Thanx for another great video.
+paulie 4x You have a lot of good ideas man. I hear ya on spreading out the weight of all your tools. Normally, I only hike with a knife on my belt. I only strap on a machete or tool pouch like this when in camp and building a shelter or setting up a cookset. I like having all the tools handy right by my side. Take care and Thanks for watching Brother.
Reallybigmonkey1 Say Heah David, Yeah, I like my Lite Mora Trio Carry, my 2000, with Mora Hatchet and Bacho Laplander, This new Trio is a high better quality and robust, but still lite. I addded my 2Hawks Warbeast Tomahawk, and my Wicked Tough Saw, All are American made. Oh, my knife is my LT Wright 3V GNS. I picked a G-10 Handle with a sort of new scallope pattern, I got the Coyote Black Mountain, I think its pretty Kewl., and should match alot of my other tools to match carry them. The beauty of this training is I can carry all three, plus a neck knife on person. If, I decide to add a larger chopper type knife. I could simply attach it to my pack, If, I want to take a larger Hatchet, my back pack has built in areas on the sides for it, Yeah, I also always make room for a possibility pouch, I call my necessities pouch, I either carry on my belt or my pack or on the front strap with my directional compass., Oh, I just got a large Voyager Davly, yeah, it has a rotating bezel but looks like a fairly large pocket watch. But yeah, My 3V GNS is close to a Woodlore profile. That type of blade style allows you to carve with any portion of the blade, The tip ofcouce for making fine curves to inhence the inside of a cooking hanger, and the rest, a straighter ege forms when working wood. Yeah, I used my vintage Blind Horse for that, But I wanted more of a point , But the Kephart was good to dig a hole in wood, But I saw a video where a bushcrafter said he liked a little longer than a 4" blade and a 1/8" thickness, That made sense to me. So that's why to, I got a Saber instead of a Scandi, I like working wood. Not that I'm that good at it. But if I'm going to cut myself, at least I'll do it with something I liked heh heh heh.,,.
Hi Dave .... that was a really good video. Its good to see the thinking behind all the steps so it all works out. Im in the process of making a leather sheath for a new Martindale British Army Paratrooper machete and I have picked up some good ideas for how to add a couple of extras ... and the belt loop idea is useful if I don't want to add a belt dangler. Well done brother and happy sewing lol .... Jim
+Jim T Thanks Jim , I'm glad you liked it and it gave you some good ideas. I hope it turns out great brother!
Ok Dave, you've inspired me yet again. I've got an idea to make a Batman style Bushcraft utility belt! Wish me luck.
Sounds killer Glen!
I absolutely love this sheath and ideology! I would totally buy one of these... loved the video
Thank you Steve!
Very ingenious setup looks great I stole one of your ideas on grill grates that you made the legs on mine don’t come off but hinge in any direction thank you for the idea
Very cool you made a grill Mark!
Ya just helped me create another project my friend! lol.. Thanks!! 👍 Be safe brother, God bless, see ya!
Sounds great brother!
OK David, I'm chiming in late but this is a cool project. It's good to see you making more videos lately. I have to agree with you about the Silky Gomboy.
Survival On Purpose Thanks brother, Im glad you liked it. How true on that Gomboy, No other saw beats it. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
As always, great ideas and easy to follow. Good to see you getting creative again! ~Claudia
seawhere Thanks! Im glad you liked it. I am sometimes too creative. LOL
Great project and a great idea for carrying a multitude of items.
I agree a tool is a tool weather it is a chain saw or a sewing machine.
willynthepoorboys2 Thanks! Im glad you liked it. How true, Tools are Tools no matter what they are. Its the finished product that matters.
Dave,
Awesome job! I know that you have done other projects like this, but this is really cool. This is really good for an all in one carrier of tools around camp. You can cut the wood for your shelter, fire, dig a Dakota pit and then start the fire, all from one !!!
GodschildinNC Thanks Brother! Im glad you liked it. Yep, I have done a few other projects like this but, Ill admit they looked like crap. This one actually looks good up close! LOL. I used it and it worked great. It will be in next weeks video. Take care and thanks for watching.
Awesome video's David. Love the sheath idea. I'm working on a couple of projects myself thanks to you. Keep up the great work can't wait to see more. Be safe.
Desertfun4all Thanks! Im glad you liked the vids and it makes me even happier that I inspired a few projects of yours. I love hearing that. More vids and ideas in the works my friend.

Hansl Lavenburg Thanks! Im glad you liked it Hansl.
Nice, light and practical. Very cool my friend! Great idea. All the best David.
Waldhandwerk Thanks Sepp! Im glad you liked it my friend.
I like your idea. Everything in one neat package.
+Maurice Yoshikawa Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Maurice. It is great having everything you need in one pouch
Very cool David :) .. You do such a great job of explaining your thoughts and the process that you're using. I'm a total junkie over 'pouches' and bags.. Ive got way too many and keep making more! LOL.. Actually got a few ideas from your video today.. Not for a sheath, but a combo-multi-pouch.. Hmmm we'll see, I've got about 12 projects waiting already and 5-6 that need finishing! Lol .. Looking forward to seeing what you have in the works for the next videos ;) .. Thanks again for all the fun and good info!
+Ruth Elgers Thanks Ruth! Ever since I started making my own pouches and sheaths Ive got em for everything. I guess Im a junkie too. LOL. You sound like me now, Ive always got a buncha half finished projects. Take care, git sewing and Thanks for watching.
Excellent Video. Nothing in the Video was boring and the sheath is awsome.
Taguun Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
this is brilliant, Also the legs straps can be used to secure hoirzontally this bushcraft tool center of yours to a butt pack like the maxpedition and it can probably use the molle attachement. Very well done !!!
Chris the frog Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Thats an awesome idea about attached it to a buttpack or molle system. I hadnt thought of that!
I am just happy to see you post another video . I have learned a lot from you .
Jeff Batchelor Always good to hear that brother.

Thanks for another great video and welcome back ;)
ptonpc Always good to be back on here brother.
I have a harness of sorts that I use to put my machete, knife, canteen, and pistol on when fishing or hiking. The shoulder straps support the weight so my pants don't sag or bind. That way I don't have to wear suspenders all the time. When I remove the harness with all the gear I am free to move around. It also fits under my pack.
MrBogeyone Sounds like an awesome piece of gear
Wish i could give 10 👍"s up! AWEsome!
LoL - I've spent ALL day on your vid"s (phone) and finding the stuff you've named at Amazon on the tablet! Need to find a spot for my new hobby stuff! Gave up horses a few years ago - this can be picked up when time permits ... still challenging! Thank you SO much for the inspiration!
Sounds great! I'm happy you like the videos and welcome to the new hobby of bushcraft and camping!
Good job buddy, You have inspired me to make a drop leg sheath !
Thanks! And that's great to hear!
Now THIS is what I've been looking for - I'm going to make this thing Dave... Time to hijack a sewing machine and get to building this ;>)
