Tx to @Ftx325 for answering a whole bunch of questions

Once Ive got the basics down, I'll have a go at making lefty knife scabbards.

That's looking real good @ebf for a first attempt .
And making a pouch for your leather tools is just next level ...

Well on your way to making an impressive sheath .
I am about to have a crack at a double , or maybe triple, sheath for my hunting knives out of the buffalo leather @hunter Al.7mm08 was kind enough to send me .
Be interesting to see how it goes with wet forming compared to the russet leather .
Only one way to find out.....
And if it all works okay might have a crack at using it to make a new leather seat for my Honda Davidson along with some small saddle bags .
Might be getting a bit out of my league there but can't hurt to try....
