Glad I am not the only one that uses the leather to make the pattern as you go! When using thick leather I can never get paper patterns to work. I always come up short somewhere. I do it just like you do here and it comes out great.
I just started getting into leather work and an Ulu sheath is my first project. Is it me, or does this sheath seem like it could last through the apocalypse? It seams pretty heavy duty. What oz. leather is this? What is the purpose of folding the piece @11:30, is it just to ensure pliability? Great video! Even to someone who is just learning, it's easy to recognize the tools and their purpose. The order of process is inherently laid out. Commentary would have been the icing on the cake, but I won't complain. ;)
Hello, let me congratulate you for your excellent work, I'm from Ecuador and I wanted to know if you can give me an idea how to make a banci to hold the leather the sewing time, just like the one you have, it seems fantastic. Thank you
hi, I don't know if you even check this project anymore, but if you are, I would like to know more about the thread you are using you say it is a 5 cord linen. Do you know what size it is overall. I am looking for something around 1.5mm. You have done a nice job on the sheath. I like it so much, I am trying to make one. Thanks for inspireing me. Thanks, Gary
The 5 cord linen is about the same as 1mm in polyester or nylon. If you look at my 2 videos where I'm sewing the saddle horns you'll see I'm using 1.2 mm braided polyester. My video of the laptop case I'm using 1.4 mm braided polyester and it's really heavy, almost like lacing rather than stitching. th-cam.com/video/Be4CLp4z4HU/w-d-xo.html saddle horn th-cam.com/video/1hFqo_era0k/w-d-xo.html saddle horn th-cam.com/video/OBaavCjisuA/w-d-xo.html laptop case If you want linen that heavy you'll probably need about 7 or 8 cord. You can get that from Campbell-Randall, linen or Barbours linen is what you're looking for. www.campbell-randall.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=43_60_62
Thank You for sharing , My Round knife now has a home that isn't damaged by brass snaps, what size thread did you sew the small round knife sheath with?
Hello Agar, Thank you so much for posting evidences of real craftmanship and bringing this to the masses of interested people. I love the lilly stamp. I suppose it is an elder one as I searched for a similar impression / texture but I was not successful. Looking forward for more videos.
hi. what was the liquid you added all over the sheath near the end of the video with a dauber? Your sheath turned out very nice! I hope mine turns out as nice =)
@@agarfrance9272 its very nice your work all of the world because 60 to 70 per cent peoples liked ready made things,and others like handmade work.(like me) I'm very interested,
i have tried to find the metal piece that you use for holding the leather flap for the head knife sheath and i cannot find them any where. first off, i have no idea what it is called. your input would be greatly appreciated.....
It's called a Sam Browne stud. Sam Browne was a British officer who lost an arm fighting in India so he designed a special belt or harness with a diagonal strap to give extra support when carrying his sword. He also developed the stud so he could fasten leather straps and similar fittings with one hand
I would love to find one myself. Love you videos, very informative for a learning hobbiest. I will probably never reach your level, but I can sure appreciate the time and effort you put into your craft.

I have watched this numerous times as I make my own sheath. Many thanks for a great instructional video. True craftsmanship!
nothing beats a beautiful handmade item... tyfs
Beautiful work!
Lovely....ah...texturing with the maker's mark...lol! Beautiful work, that sheath might last as long as the knife!
Great video! Nothing wrong with quiet!
Good video. Super nice job. Thanks!...
Very nicely done
Your voice is very soothing! Nice work!
Great video, thank you. You do nice work.
That'll be the first thing I make.
this is perfect... tyfs new sub

Nice Ulu case.
buen trabajo me gusta
Thanx for showing 👍
I see you slipped a few times whilst stamping in your makers name....!? Just kidding...a nice touch, lovely work....Thanks for posting.
Finally someone noticed the slip, thanks for your comment
Good design!
Nice sheath! I'd use a groove on the inside so that the knife won't cut the stitching.
There's a welt, the blade can't touch the stitching.
Sorry, I see what you mean about the short run of stitching on the inside, you're right, it should be grooved..
Absolutely great craftsmanship!! nice video!
This is a beautiful piece. What was that oil you put on it to finish it?
Most likely Neatsfoot Oil. Tandy leather sells it.
Thank You for sharing , My Round knife now has a home that isn't damaged by brass snaps, what size thread did you sew the small round knife sheath with?
It's 5 cord linen, my favorite thread.

What or why your preference on the round hammer?
What is that metal post called that you used for a closure> I had one on a holster once. Where can I find one?
Most folks call them "Sam Brown" button studs. I generally use Springfield Leather Co. They do have a web site, springfieldleather.com
are you using c.s. Osborne punches? post more vids. good work.
I use cs osborne, tandy, and some old european ones. In this video I punched the button hole with one of those, far superior to anything we have here.
hi. what was the liquid you added all over the sheath near the end of the video with a dauber? Your sheath turned out very nice! I hope mine turns out as nice =)
+Maretime It's pure Neatsfoot oil, never use Neatsfoot compound.
@@agarfrance9272 its very nice your work all of the world because 60 to 70 per cent peoples liked ready made things,and others like handmade work.(like me) I'm very interested,
What kind of oil do you use ?
I assume the double line of stitching is strictly aesthetic.
It is strictly aesthetic
wtf? why did you screw up the back side with your mm? I don't get it....
you just answered yourself... he screwed up and made it comical!
Where do you buy your leather working tools from ?
Thank you for your time.
Russell
I buy them wherever I can. Mostly from tool makers in the US and Europe, sometimes just cheap ones from Tandy.
Could I get the info of the tool makers in the US that you get your leather working tools from ?
Thanks.

It's called a Sam Browne Stud and they're available at most leathercraft supply places such as Tandy

Where did you find the stitching clamp?
I bought it from a farmer in Saskatchewan many years ago, he had three of them and I should have bought them all.
I would love to find one myself. Love you videos, very informative for a learning hobbiest. I will probably never reach your level, but I can sure appreciate the time and effort you put into your craft.
Hi. please, what's you use in 11:10?
It's pure Neatsfoot oil.
...
It look like crap

Great job Agar. Why don’t you build one and post it Paul and show the world how good you are.
