Hi, I’m Stephan, Co-Host of this Channel and in this 2 part Series I want to show you how I build a this “historical” scabbard for my medieval Type XIV Sword.
To make it easier and more accessible, I used counterparts to historical components such as wood glue instead of hide glue or thin wooden boards instead of split planks sourced by modern vendors.
You will find a material list in the description.
Material list:
0.5 and 1mm Limewood boards (www.architektu...)
Calf and goat leather (www.lederversa...)
Some wool lining and also linen
Leather Pro-Dye (hybrid oil dye)
wood glue
Timestamps:
00:30 Cutting the 2 center pieces
02:30 Glueing of the 2 shell pieces
03:40 Lining the core with wool
04:30 Glueing all pieces together
06:30 Shaping the scabbard
09:55 Final linen wrap

Great video! I have to say I'm impressed with how immaculate you kept your workspace during the building process, mine goes south quick...
Looking forward to part 2, keep it up!
Thank you, but dont mind my workspace, i'm impressed myself how tidy it looks in this video :D. But also its probatly due to the method, since no power tools and nothing which causes a lot of debris.
Nice work 👌🏻- I'm always curious to see how other people do stuff 🙂
Thank you! I also enjoy it a lot to learn from others :) Thus i'm super happy to finally film one of my projects =)
I hoped you liked the first part on building your own scabbard. Until now, you have only seen me as trainings partner/dummy of Martin or behind the camera/editing on some (pre-lockdown) videos.
Since this is the offical debuet as a sole content creator on this channel (let us not count the carbonara video), I would appreaciate constructive feetback: I hope my accent is understandeble, the subtitles are helpfull, and the pacing of the video acceptable.
Part II is allready finished, thus the improvements will be included in the next videos ;-)
Hello Stephan, member of Stahlakademie Leipzig here! That's an awesome build! I just shared it in our group chat :).
I have one question about the tool you use to round the edges. It looks like a sharpened putty knife, am I right? Working looks very clean and easy compared to rasps and files, wich are my go-to-tools. Would spare me a lot of dust and buying a new spokeshave just for this project.
Thank you for your effort, I look forward for the second part!
Thank you! its similar to an putty knife, a "japan wood knife" on amazon at least. But with this method i did everything basically on my desk at home without a workshop.
@@SchildwachePotsdam Hi, do you have an amazon link? Cant find the specific tool you are referring too. Thanks for an answer!
Super ! 👍😲
Thats awsome, thak you. Hope I will find the time to try this.
There will be a fancy renaissance version in the (near) future ;-) wrapped in velvet, glitter and stuff :D how the italies liked it for their spada da lato;-)
Beautiful work. Have you had any issues with rusting caused by the wood glue?
During the process not, the tape helped. But it's quite important to let the sheath dry a few days after finishing it without the sword. Then I had allways some oil on the blade.
thanks this is a great help!
Post your results =)
Very nice. Is this based on an extant historical method?
Probatly yes. There are varios historical examples for the sandwich build, a lot of them early and high medieval examples. You can get nice result directly working with fresh split wood and form it on your blade. The downside is that this way you still have moisture in the wood which may damges the steel. The lining with wool is found also beside fur.
The issue is that most historians, collections, etc. are more focused on the contents, eg. the swords, than of the scabbard itself. Without cutting them open, especially the late medieval pieces, which are well preserved, its hard to exactly know they were build. There are some people which know way more about this than me, maybe they will correct me ;-) Its a super convinent method and makes a very stable work item, thus i guess they probatly did it like this.
