just a simple diy vid for anyone with a Scandinavian type axe head or any axe that has a bottom angled bit with the blade edge being longer than at the handle (bearded) - Zábava
Rarely can people "do" and "teach" equally. Not only do you do very nice work, you teach the steps perfectly. Thanks for all you do for us Doug.
thanks Roger -very nice of you to say -glad you liked it and thx for watchin
Some utube tutorials are pretty awful. This one gets the lesson across well. @@dougLinker
I agree Doug for someone who's not a leather worker that came out great.and a great explanation and how too..
I know this is 3 yrs old, but it's by far one of the best tutorials for making a great functional sheathe. Hats off to you my friend from Australia.
Thanks for sharing Doug. Professional dabbler here too... A tip on punching holes and taking the stress off the hole punch... As you clamp down to punch your hole, twist the leather and the hole punch in opposite directions at the same time. The punch will cut like butter because it is drilling through the leather as it punches.
that makes sense -thanks
I feel like im sitting in my dads work room and hes showing me how to make an axe sheath.. thank you for this video
thanks
Thanks Doug, a kindred spirit.... I was looking the other day for the rivets to make sheath for my camp axe, purchased in mid 70's. also a sheath for my Daddy's hatchet, that I played with in the mid 50's, and cut kindlin for starting the fire in a coal stove and heater. plus a sheath for my grandmother's axe that she used to chop wood for her stoves, a PLUMG 32. Oh Yeah! my rivets came today.....
Awesome video! Thanks for showing us how to use tools we already have around the house! Really great job, looks good!
Hi Doug, I'm doing the stitching tomorrow and finishing up. I thank you for your demeanor , expertise and being so pleasant.
Fourth ever time working with leather, followed this tutorial, damn fine result. Great video Doug!
I can't believe you made that for me! You are such a nice guy! It looks great and you did a good job explaining the process. Thanks
I made a different one for you haha
Hello Shawn. I Love your channels. Give Cali my love.
🥰🥰🥰
Really liked your teaching video on leather crafting. When I think of an American I think about craftsmen. It isn’t punches stuff out on a keyword. It’s actually doing stuff.
this is a really well done vid, I feel like I could replicate what you did without any other resources which is rare these days. saving this one for later when I decide to make my own mask too 👍
great to hear - thanks man
Great video, exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for making each step clear and simple to understand.
I’ve just inherited my late step fathers axe and started restoring it, a custom made leather cover will finish it off perfect.
Doug Outside! Thank you for this tutorial. I picked up a collins boys axe on the cheap this week, and of all the YT tutorials on this style of mask, your's seemed the right balance of function and style. The bottom "shelf welt" was the piece that set you apart from the others, BRILLIANT! Cheers! And thank you!
Thank you for making this tutorial. Everything is explained in layman's terms and gives me the confidence to go and make my own axe sheath.
And this is exactly why I am happy you are making videos again. Learned a lot. Also good score on the axe. I know Tim went through no small effort to get all those GBAs for the show. Thanks for taking us along Doug!
yep ,I watched his website for months and always out of stock - thanks Kevin
Glad to see new videos!! Keep on keeping on.
Always great to see different and new topics!
thx Joe -glad you like
Simple and functional. I intend to copy your design for my medium hatchet...thanks for sharing Doug!
Doug I am really grateful for your time to make videos- I am in the processing of making my first axe sheath and happy with the results so far… time to start stitching
Glad to see you back Doug
thanks!
Great clarity. A Gem. None of what I´ve come to expect with too many tutorials here on You Tube. This is exactly what I needed. I watched every frame (I know its a video...) start to finish without pause, no skipping forward because the pace of delivery was spot on. Many Thanks! Im going to order my leather now!
This video is Golden, the way you explain things is awesome compounded by the fact it is a zero b.s. approach to making the mask . Most other videos I have tried watching make it sound like if you sneeze in the general vicinity of your project it will be a mess, your video did away with that by offering multiple solution to lack of supply/tools. Thankyou Doug you're seriously the man! please keep it up!
very nice of you to say -thanks!
Doug, I really enjoy your videos. Your humor and humility are great. Thank you for posting, and I'm glad you decided to keep your CZcams account going. - Mike
thanks Mike -appreciate that
Best leather working explanation I've seen. Beautiful sheath. Using most of the processes needed for many projects. Thank you very much. You are a great teacher.
Jim Bryan
Thanks for the video Doug. I have a lot of axe projects coming up and definitely acquired some useful tips from this vid. Glad to see you on the tube again!
thanks Brad -glad you got something out of it I was afraid it was gonna be a snoozer for most haha
Definitely not a snoozer, Thank you. Down to earth, plain English, easy to get a good understanding.
Great job Doug. Thanks for showing that.
your welcome-thx for watchin
You sold me Doug... gonna try making one soon. I really appreciate how you demonstrated the correct tools but also discussed the alternative options for those of us without the specialized equipment. Nicely done!
thanks Paul -give it a shot!
This was perfect Doug. Thanks.
Thanks Doug, another excellent, clearly demonstrated video! The how to on the stitching was great!
Very cool Doug! Enjoy the video thoroughly! Thanks for showing how it's done!
Thanks again for this video Doug. I just finished restoring an old axe that my dad has in his tool shed, and that was great fun. Took a month to finish as I only had an hour or so a day to devote to it, but it's finished and the axe is perfect. I whipped the handle using your technique, and now I'm going to copy this exactly. Mike from Chicago.
This is by far the best video I've seen on this subject. Thank you for your effort to record this process. I think your mask look great! Thanks again.
Thx Doug. Awesome tutorial. Simple and to the point. Just did on for my axe also. Looks great. Keep up the good work.
Thank You.
Thanks Doug, your video nudged me to jump head first into doing my own leather work. I went full stitch on my first mask but fairly close method wise. Turned out better than expected and much nicer than the one council tool makes for the axe. Between the handle work, edge reprofiling, and mask ITS MINE.
Doug, awesome video!!! I used your instructions step by step and came up with three beautiful sheaths for three of my most used hatchets. I'll never be a master craftsman but I'm very happy with how they turned out. You were a great teacher, thanks!
What a great video! Easy to follow and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing - I'll be having a go for sure.
thx Don -give it a try!
Doug I really appreciate how you keep things simple and focus on doing. A rarity, thank you.
+RyanJKUS2012 thanks Ryan -appreciate it
Thank you very much. I sharpened my son's beat-up axe and built this for him (and to help protect my grand-daughters). It is beautiful. Thanks again!
You made it look easy Doug, thank you.
Thanks Doug! It's always nice to see others techniques and idea's. Keeps the thinker thinking. Looks great, I like wrapping it around the beard instead of the handle a lot!
thanks man -I do it that way everytime I have any bit of beard to avoid straps
Nice job Doug, you made it look so simple with your easy style, thanks for sharing. 😃👍
I've never ever made anything with leather in my life. After watching this video, I mustered up the confidence to try this out for one of my Montreal pattern HB axes. You've provided such an excellent tutorial here, that after just two attempts (I had to learn some basic things from my mistakes), I have a high quality sheath that is much better than anything I could have purchased, and the know-how to make more. Many thanks!
Doug, I know this is a really old video but I just want to thank you for inspiring me to get into leathercraft! I keep coming back to this video to reference techniques in my learning process. I've made 3 projects so far: a tape measure holster for work, a small EDC pouch that holds a SAK+light+lighter, and a dice tray/holder for table top RPG games. Each one couldn't have been accomplished without the techniques you show in this video, so thank you so much for showing everything in depth and explaining it all clearly. I'm going to try making my own axe mask next for my GB hatchet, so that should be a fun project!
I have a lot to learn and a long way to go, but it's so satisfying to step back and look at something that I've created with my own two hands. Thanks for inspiring me bud, I appreciate it. It means a lot to me to have someone to look up to/learn from and to push me to improve myself and my abilities.
Cheers, fellow Ontarian... I'll seeya around! BTW the stickers look awesome, thanks for sending me them!
Very nice, Doug. I've been looking for a simple easy to follow tutorial on an axe mask and I found it! Thank you!
great! glad it helps
Hands down the most useful video I have seen on how to do this. Now I can stop you tubing myself and get to work! Thanks so much.
thx Michael -have fun
thank you, great video. nice to have you back.
thanks Timothy
Great video Doug. That looks 500 times better!! Good job. Thank you.
thx Peter
Old school knowledge in any challenge for accomplishing a task is always the most satisfying. Thanks for that demo. Quality workmanship
thanks Mark!
Excellent video. Love the simple instructions & alternate methods. Thanks.
thanks Michael -glad you liked
Thank You! After watching you I think I can do it. Very nice and easy to understand instruction and examples.
Great how-to vid! Thanks Doug
thanks -glad you liked it
Amazing, this is what I been working on for the past few hours, found this, now I'll be done soon, thanks for sharing Doug.
thanks Doug -hope it works out for you
You can tell a true craftsman, when he slams something together rather quickly, and it's so much nicer than anything you could purchase at a store.
Love your work, and your general attitude towards life.
Glad you're back.
Thank you again for sharing.
very nice of you to say,thanks! appreciate that
Anytime.
"I didn't make it, so it's not mine"
Love that. Though it can feel like a disease, or a curse sometimes.
Awesome man. Thanks for going through the steps.
Exceptional video. Thank you so much for sharing your time and skill...and showing the simplicity of it. You just pulled off a beautiful work in 36 minutes. Very inspirational. More than a lifetime, and it's yours.
Easy peasy Japanesey! Nice Doug. I like the personal touches. Thanks for sharing.
thx for watchin Lawrence
Brilliant ! And you “eye balled” most of it. Gotta try this. Thanks Doug!
Good job Doug!
I really liked the look of that sheath as I was looking for ideas. You did a stand up job of walking us through the process. Thanks!
Mighty Fine! Thank you sir.
You have inspired me to make these for all my axes.
You're my favorite "tuber".
WOW, I stumbled onto your video by accident when I was watching sheath/mask making videos using PVC pipe. Boy oh boy was I thrilled that I did. Your explanation was PERFECTLY CLEAR AND EASY TO FOLLOW. I am 100% sure that if I take my time and purchase a few supplies I, too, will be able to make a great product right from the get go. Because of how you presented all the information I not only liked your video, I subscribed to it.Thank you so very much!!
Yours,
Michael
Another good one Doug. Can't believe how easy you make it look.
thx Geoff -it is an easy project
Thanks for making this video Doug. I made a mask for my hatchet this morning following your instructions and it turned out great.
Great Video Doug. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
+EastCoast GunNut thanks man -glad you liked it
Amazing job and a flawless piece of work you made!
thanks Isaac -appreciate it
Great Job! Thanks for teaching us!
Another awesome video Doug! I actually just fumbled my way through my first leather working project yesterday, a handle guard for my small forest axe. I wish I had watched this video first.
Spot On Doug! I can do this, wish I'd come across it sooner. I had no idea you knew leather work as well. Thanks so much man. .... Mike.
I know a little about a lot :)
Doug, This was really informative. Thanks!
Thanks Charles -glad it helps
Another great video Doug, and another epic DIY project! Thanks for all you do, it's greatly appreciated!! 👍
glad you liked it -thx for watchin
Hey Doug I'm enjoying these little diy videos thanks
thanks Jason -glad you like them
Great job! Love your videos, very helpful. Keep up the good work!
Excellent vid, so glad I watched it. Just ordered up a couple hundred bucks of leather working supplies off Amazon. The wife and I got some things we need to make, and this vid really inspired us.
Suuuuper helpful video! Very good at explaining to those of us that know nothing of the craft and very impressive craftsmanship.
This is a great tutorial. I appreciate that you always offer tool alternatives.
thx Linda -I do that because I have fallen in the same trap of thinking I needed tools that I really did not for a one time project
Nice job teaching me how to make my first leather project. I just re-handled an old Boy Scout hatchet, and needed a sheath/mask for it. this video was the best that I've found, hands down !
Thanks brother for taking the time to make this great video.
Thank you for this tutorial. I really appreciate the way you teach.
Hi Doug, great tutorial. Great channel. I am going to make one of these for my axe today. Thanks!
great video Doug, THANKS FOR SHARING.
+bear thanks Bear
Doug Outside by the way this is carvingChris from instagram.
Thank you for this Vid. I just bought a new axe and this will be one of my many projects to do. Again Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial Doug, after watching your video I made one,came out great! Your recipe for the axe sheath is a success.
Really informative video Doug! Thanks to you I have carved multiple
little bears for myself and for family along with making my own strop to
keep my knives sharp. I've learned tons from your videos and you
really make me feel like I should get into playing with leather-working
now too. Thanks for all you do!
that's fantastic -thanks for sharing that ,appreciate it
Thanks Doug, great job on the informative video. I'm new be to leather work, but this has sparked a great deal of ideas and interest. I've got a pile of new and old axes to cover and re-cover (Husqvarna axe sheaths suck too). Great technique on the saddle stitch, the one piece, and the heathy welt for the sharp edge to contact. Thanks again for the video. I've just come from the local leather supply store, and it's go time for me.
God speed young man, and Semper Fi
Great video Doug!
Outstanding work, very good video explaining every things. Keep up the good work.
Good job Doug, nice tutorial!
Gabby
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Spent the last day making a shaft for my sons first axe, figure I will make him a axe sheaf now. Thanks for your time making and uploading. All the best mat
Really great video Doug, very interesting and your work is top class
Great video Doug. So cool how you make things your own.

Very nicely done, shown well and explained well. On to making a mask for my old axe. Thank You.
Thank you for this. I enjoyed watching it.
Such a great video. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Your videos have inspired me to “have a go” at so many things I never thought I would try. Just love your wooden figures as well. Such an inspiration. Thank you. Danny ( from the United Kingdom)
Great video Doug thanks
Doug Outstanding video. Makes me want to try some basic leather work. Sheath Came out Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing and Teaching 👍🏻
thanks Mike
Hey Doug, thanks mate, that was brilliant. My Grandfather was a Cobbler and also he to produce tarps, saddles, leg chaps, etc. Never did get to see him in action but he was a bit of a legend in his district. Watching you in action bought back a few memories as well s learning something new. Thanks mate, have subscribed... ;-}
awsome super simple video doug !!!
thx Richard -glad you liked it
Thanks, ‘Doug Outside’! Simple, straightforward.... Keep sharing with the mortals...
Your video is exactly what I needed to see. Well made, informative and you showcased the small details very well.
