do you know of any good places to get leather? I looked on amazon, it's a good price but the 6 dollar shipping is not worth it. I want to make a case for my buck 110 hunting folder but I don't have any good quality leather. thanks for the video. - Darren Houston
Springfield Leather and Tandy are two of the big ones. Wickett and Craig is a tannery that you can buy sides from. They have nice, high quality leather. There are others, but those are my usual go to.
You can go to Tandy Leather company's website and find a library of short videos on learning to do basic procedures with leather. There are also many other leather companies which offer "how to" videos on basic procedures. I watched this video and had no problem understanding what Mr. Davis was doing throughout the video. The only complaint I might add is one regarding personal professional pride in what I do and what I use to make it happen. I take very good care of my tools from a scriber to a straight edge to all of my leather working stamps, cutters, and other tools. I would never allow myself the attitude of using a tool and then tossing it to the side of my work area. This applies to everything I use from a piece of sandpaper to a stitching needle to my antique awl and cobbler's hammer. It is just good stewardship, in my opinion, to handle the tools of your trade as you would your finest fishing rod or skeet gun or favorite hunting/hiking boots. They are all essential to applying your very BEST skills and workmanship to all that you do. It bothered me to see Mr. Davis consistently toss around his tools like they were so much junk that was lying in his way as he worked on this sheath. He also tossed a few tools which depended on their keen edges to do the job they were meant to do. He used an ExactO knife to trim away the ends of threads used in stitching together the sheath and, in frequent views of his using that tool, he tossed it aside with little concern for the manner in which it hit the table nor where it may have fallen with the blade pointing up as in the view around 12:59. And , in the view of 16:30, he actually tosses the knife down with the blade pointing up where it could easily catch a hand or finger moving across to grab another tool. But the worst of the lot was during 16:55 to around 17:04 when he tossed that sharp knife down at an angle pointing up in the air and then reached across that same area to pick up the knife to check its fit in the sheath! For a new person like yourself, who is trying to learn the basics of leather crafting from watching videos like this one, I have to admit that this "professional" exhibited very little regard for some important basic safety steps for a new student of the trade to learn. And I know that this man does good work, but I wonder if he realizes how some of his practices appear to other people who watch his videos??
A custom tooled sheath for a 110 is $60, shipping included. I make it from Hermann Oak or Tandy's Oak Leaf imported premium veg tan leather. The style and color is your choice. I use solid brass hardware, snap fasteners, rivets and buckles, no plated steel. Yes I realize it's from a year ago, but just wanted to show what a reasonable price would be. Now I think Buck sells a plain case for their 110 with the Buck logo on it.
@@MountainFisher I make both side carry and vertical carry sheaths for the Buck 110 and compatible knives and I charge $60.00 for a vertical carry and $65.00 for a side or lateral carry, one that is parallel to your belt line. It is more comfortable to wear if you are squatting or sitting for long periods such as in a deer stand. the side carry will not poke the wearer in places that they don't want to be poked while sitting quietly for a long period. As the blade length gets longer, in the case of a non-folding knife, I usually angle the sheath to fit somewhere between parallel to the beltline to almost vertical and still maintain a comfortable sitting or squatting position outdoors or in a vehicle.
Ughhhh - this is one of the problems with youtube videos - obviously we have a very skilled craftsman that has done a great job filming an interesting topic - but with no narration (and 19 minutes long) its a waste. With over 16,600 views it could have been a great service to people. I understand narration can be hard but add text via your video editor OR at the least write stuff on pieces of paper and stick it in front of the camera. For example, what type of leather are you working with ? tooling leather ? veg tan ? what weight is it ? how much bigger does the bent piece of leather need to be ? the mold you made how much bigger is that top piece of wood than the bottom ? how long did you keep it clamped ?
Do not need narration, just watch, observe and learn. The skill can be applied to any type of leather ( your choice). You also can see what tools he is using in this project and how, no need for an explanation of what a needle does or how is used, or a mallet.
Great job, keep up the good work
I would have liked to see how you set the stamp
Very interesting idea! How many minutes to wet skin in water? The drawing from stamps will not deteriorate?
Wao! Beautiful. A lot experience, congratulations you have finished a beautiful case...
Do you put the skin in the water my friend ???

You should be able to use “remnant leather” for that. Go to a hobby lobby or Joanne’s or Michael’s fabric stores. They have bags or remnants
Sure wish I could hear him.
is the price the same for a Cold Steel Spartan? Let me know ,,thanks
Amazing to watch but for someone like me wanting to learn, I learned nothing without any explanation.

@@oldoutdoorsguy1157 sounds very reasonable to me, what if they want fancy?
@@MountainFisher Charge accordingly ....... within your abilities .......
why do you have a microwave in your workshop?
I don't in the workshop. At 3:23, I had taken the pieces into the house to do the molding in there. That is my kitchen. At 5:34 I am back in the shop.

Можно еще было камеру в другую комнату поставить и оттуда снимать

I agree!
Bad camera angle ,hands in the way
Not a teaching aid.
This could be of some value if there was some audio and instruction as it is it is virtually useless and a waste of time.
