Thread: Playing with leather

Exactly my problem. I can't justify the amount of leather I would have to get... think it's something like 6-9 square feet... unless I find a few people who want something made.
Not cheap is it...

More hunting, then you can make your own leather..

I just happen to have an attractive goat skin just come out of the tanning bucket....

Have just finished this.Bloke wanted a flap over the top and the steel in the front which made fitting the snaps a bit tricky so a modified @Ftx325 design a bit to suit.think it turned out alright.

I really like it, wish I had done similar when I was making them myself

That looks awesome @hunter Al.7mm08 !
And I'm flattered that you think some of my ideas are worth using...
And you are coming along in leaps and bounds in your designs in my humble opinion. Everything you post is even better than the last .
Great work mate , great work !

Thanks Ftx.Have to admit the snap problem had me stumped for a while,couldn't come up with a solution I was happy with.Was about to scrap the whole thing n start again,till I remembered your detachable belt loop!

The dome is actually quite simple on a flap top sheath....will try find some photos of what I did to get around it

Create a tag off the top of your steel holder, dome.or harness post works easy as

GOtta have a crack at some of these designs soon, but as said, the old price of Leather is a bit rough at the minute. Any recommendations? Or just keep an eye out for scraps on the yellow site for starters?

Thanks @HNTMAD . appreciate that
Something like that definitely could have worked

There is a big difference between "leather" and "leather",which can make it quite hard to find decent leather outside of a reputable dealer.That said no harm in keeping an eye out,never know what pops up.
