That takes me back about 35 years ago. Loved working with leather as a hobby. Then life got in the way. It is a huge bang for the buck hobby. A punch, a star wheel and some artificial sinew and you can create beautiful items. All of my prized knifes live in custom made sheaths. It's fun and cheap to get into. Great video as always.
elk hunter yes....every time I make something I always enjoy it! Love the smell and working it into a shape. But I will say this was the longest stitching job I’ve every done. Going through the leather and plastic was just sooo tough🤤
It doesn’t really matter if it works better but it looks GREAT! It just needs to be a project the you did for yourself. Like the fact that this is another type of project. I hope you take us along on your adventure but remember to have fun first and fit a video in if it isn’t a problem. Thanks for sharing.
Thom Lindgren thank you Thom! Yes very true. It sure did personalize my bow....not another one like it😀👍 As for the trip, I’m excited. But it is supposed to be much colder than we expected.... with snow. For the videos, it will depend on weather greatly, and if I feel like it would be a valuable or entertaining video. I’ll be on an elk hunt, which I know is not everyone’s cup of tea. So if I do something it would likely be focused on peripheral kinda stuff...the hike, camp stuff, etc,. 😉👍
Keep shooting. I have been snap shooting for 65 years. It will come back. I began "practicing" on cottontails at 6 yrs. old. I got pretty good at harvesting 5 or 6 rabbits every time I went out for a hunt. I graduated to whitetails at 12 yrs. old. I still hunt with bow and arrow at 71 yrs. old. Nice looking quiver cover. I use a hip quiver that holds way more arrows than necessary. If you shoot well 2 or 3 arrows is plenty but i always wear my back quiver (2 dozen arrows), and hip quiver (12 arrows) because one nevers knows what might happen.
Nice job Joe. In shop class I made my grandpa & dad a wallet. People just don't understand how hard it is to sew leather. It will destroy your hands if your hand stitching it. And it's so much nicer & last a longtime if done right. Would like to see more leather sewing, but I understand if you dont. Have a great week, Chris from Missouri
stilcrazychris yes it is very tough on the fingers! And you may see another one relatively soon as I plan to make a knife out of a saw blade.... and that may very well need a sheath for it😉
It looks like you were having fun, like a kid again, climbing all over the place to shoot from odd places. But, life is too short to not take some time to have fun. And the quiver cover looks good. Nice job.
Joshua Michail thank you Joshua! Yes, i really enjoy random kinda things like this and the odd shots are my favorite. Which is why I focused on them versus the grouping ones 😂
RoseThistleArtworks thank you! It can be intensive for sure....but this one was especially tough due to the stitching through plastic. But if you aren’t having to form thick leather and just doing some basic stitching it isn’t too bad. Pretty enjoyable really😀👍
Daniel Fisch thank you Daniel! I think you will like it....I got almost everything I have from Tandy leather during an after thanksgiving sale....so it’s almost perfect time for you to go check em out😀👍
Fantastic Joe! Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. I really appreciate that you bring us along to show the evolution of a project. Oftentimes build videos will cut out the early stages and as someone who enjoys projects myself I find it helpful to see other's complete processes. You did a great job at simulating shooting positions with your "stream crossing" and "canoe shots." It looks great and I'm sure it gives you the fizz every time you look at your work. Well done!
Gander Flight thank you Joshua! I appreciate that! And yes, looking at it just makes me feel good about it! Btw....took it for about 35-40 miles hiking on an elk hunt in northern AZ this past week. Got close once but ended up getting snowed off the mountian.....12-20” over a day....had to get out or get stuck🥶
Blackberry Hideout oh man.....pound for pound this has got to be one of the most intensive projects with that 4 hr stitching job! 😂 thanks for watching sis!
Nice work! I was thinking of getting archery lessons. Now I have to!🤣🤣 Great Punisher crouch to shoot........😁 ok that sounded creepy 🤣🤣🤣 I just liked that movie for the archery shoot.
Natacha Yearwood thank you! And I get you on the movie reference😀👍 As for archery...YES! It is such a cool relaxing and centering kinda hobby! I think you’ll like it a lot!!!
unafilliated x thank you! The trip is looking to be getting colder than we expected. We will be camping at about 8-9000 feet and the forecast is already 10 degrees lower than we expected....and 3-5” of snow is in the forecast too😂......which is a big change for this desert rat
Darryl Allen haha....I love it! Now I gotta find a cool name in Arizona that kinda sounds like Loxley! Love the names of so many of those places out there....the ‘shires’, the “hams”.....Nottingham, berkshire, etc....haha....love them!
Very nice... it looks great. I can see why making one is enough, but it’s something you’ll use the rest of your life 👍🏻. Have fun in the mountains! Let me know if your battery dies 😅.
Big Sky at Night haha....I sure it doesn’t but we will be up north of flagstaff at 8-9000 so it will be pretty chilly for what I’m used to....but hopefully the new battery will hold strong 💪
Wow, great job Joe! For burnishing, I use a 3/8" rod in my cordless drill for the edges. Makes quick work of it. Awesome build, quite a skill being an archer.
Bull Dozer thank you! And I agree with you in one the drill....I actually have a little round burnished that I put a bolt through and chuck into the drill press....but I liked the thinner profile of that little half moon one for the 4 5oz leather
It looks great! The white thread makes for a nice contrast, I like it a lot. I tried wet molding a lot myself on some videos, and it is indeed quite tricky to clamp everything in place. BTW, nice archery technique, you are not that bad ;)
French Coast Workshop thank you! Yes I liked the white contrast too....but I wasn’t sure until I saw it. I will go check out your leather vids....it sure is fun, but can be challenging sometimes in the molding department😀👍
John Hunter I’ve made some Kydex things for fire guys but I can’t remember if I did any leather. Done some holsters, ammo carriers and multi tool sheaths....but no helmet shields or radio straps. But I actually think those would be not too difficult....famous last words though....haha. Gotta try one to see if it would or wouldnt😉
Nice leather work! I need to get more tools before I can dive into dong it as a serious hobby. Working on a cell phone holster right now because nobody makes a decent holster for a Moto G7 Power. I want the corners and edges covered except for a small slot middle bottom to push the phone up. A snug padded fit for protection because my phones have this bad tendency to take trips off the top of a 30 foot tower, off the top of ladders... I have never lost a phone that fell because I have always used a good holster!
St Myles haha....well if it was during this video the drive would be wrapped in leather and maybe not so functional at warp speed....more like wagon speed😉👍
Great job..I just started doing different leather projects..harder then I thought but a great craft if ur good at it..I'm going to follow your lead and do mine..definitely give us some clips of ur trip..great elk heard up there..N. AZ.
Love this video. About to attempt this (again). A couple of questions. 1) What thickness of leather did you use? I used way too thick of leather and it did not work. 2) How did you come up with the angle for the stripe going across the hood? I can’t seem to figure it out. Thank you
May have had an easier time with the wet molding if you had cut 2 slightly larger pieces and pulled it over the in tact cover on its side and stapled it to the board.. then could have just cut it away at the halfway mark. If that makes and sense to you.
Bob O'Connor haha....oh man....I don’t know if I could do a job like that! Folks who make custom mitts are real leather workers....not part time diy guys like me😂

Razi Khan thank you razi! 🙏😀👍
Very nice! Just think how a row of Double Loop Lacing around it would have looked...
Thomas McKelvey thank you Thomas! Now I gotta go and refresh what the double loop pattern looks likes....can’t remember it off the top of my head! 😅👍
Awesome craftmanship!!!

homesteadonomics get some good cold weather gear, it’s REALLY “chilly” (COLD!) at night now.. days are still nice! Nice sunny weekend also 👍
Well done. It's looks awesome. Huge improvement.
great job
The contrast stitching reminds me of a 1970s polyester leisure suit. :)

love to see archery stuff . My nickname used to be arrowhead !!
You've got to tell me who chooses your thumbnail photos, they have a great eye for photography for sure. Great vid too!
Michael Blaker you do!!!! Your comment was one of the ones that sold me😉👍

Robbin Hood is no competition.

You did a great job! Any thing worth while takes time and effort Just like shooting welll LOL
wow that is really nice!
Kristy Jennings thank you!
Now i know why it is important to have a walkable roof :-)
Looks nice ;-)
Das Kässpätzle haha....yep! 😉👍
Cool leather work. Have you made any leather for the job? Radio strap, helmet shield, suspenders??
John Hunter I’ve made some Kydex things for fire guys but I can’t remember if I did any leather. Done some holsters, ammo carriers and multi tool sheaths....but no helmet shields or radio straps. But I actually think those would be not too difficult....famous last words though....haha. Gotta try one to see if it would or wouldnt😉
The makeover looked good to me, what is that fluffy bit on the string for?, and before you ask I don't have the foggiest about archery.
John Fithian-Franks thank you John! The puffy thing is a string silencer. Just helped to buffer the vibration and sound of the string😀👍
John Fithian-Franks It keeps the string from making noise when it’s released. I think.
My dad would say just like down town when he did something good like your quiver cover.
chevy6299 haha....I can almost hear it! Or something maybe like ‘even the city folk would approve’. 😀👍
Good job and i like your channel
Team dj thank you!
I wonder how selway does theirs. Regardless DIY is always great! I am working on doing mine now.
Love the ‘deer blind’ roof shots!
I'm archer too !!!! Amazing!!!

Pretty cooooooooool
Thanks for the Vid

Do the fuzzies on the bow string have a function?
Gynocentrism Ergo MGTOW yes, they help to dampen the vibration and sound from the string vibrating during the shot😀👍
@@homesteadonomics That should come in handy if you ever have to go full Rambo.
Argentina, Neuquén saludos
Nice Video:)
I actually have almost that exact bow. Great work on the leather, what arrow rest do you have ?
What you should've done was,... Just kidding! Great work!
DK Stoney hahaha....thank you😀👍
