Hey Mark I have a couple tradesman tips for you when working/bending pvc. I've been an electrician for over 35 years, and have hand-formed a few miles of pvc conduit in that time. 1.Cap the ends when heating, helps to trap the heat and become flexible quicker 2. Have a spray bottle of clean water nearby, helps to get the pvc to "set up" quicker by cooling it some 3. Have a piece of wool blanket handy when forming. Even insulated gloves get hot, I use thick cowhide/elkskin gloves with a piece of wool blanket to maneuver the pvc when I'm working with it. The leather will draw some of the heat out, were the wool is an insulator, and is less prone to absorb as much heat.
Very detailed low cost project! A fine toothed metal cutting blade on a variable speed jig saw at low speed will cut plastics smoothly. The trick is to keep the speed low so plastics don't heat up, letting the blade do the work. Also works for plexiglass. Cheers
I had thought about using my bandsaw but wanted to do this with more commonly possessed tools. The jigsaw would have been a good choice. I have one but did not think to use it. Thanks for commenting
@@BOOSTEDLASER Since I don't own any super steels I cannot say for sure. However, if the edge does not touch the sheath when being inserted I would think the opportunity to dull would be reduced. Hope this helps
That's very well done, Mark. PVC is a very inexpensive material and it works and forms so well. I've seen several projects made with PVC, with amazing results. People make very good bows, quivers, sheaths for knives and axes, and all kinds of containers for hydroponic gardening. The techniques you've shown us here could be used in any of those applications. I do think a good heat gun is a great tool to have around for many uses. The schedule 20 pipe is still plenty sturdy and is easier to form and cut and only half as thick. And PVC cement is an excellent option for attachment, but not as secure as your rivets. Great video - thanks very much.
Just an fyi, pvc and Kydex needs to be heated to between 350°F and 370°F to be pliable enough to work with. You can go to 380°F or 390°F for pvc. You can get a Kydex sheet for as little as $5USD and you can make a Kydex press from Dollar Store craft foam or foam gardening knee pads you can get for a couple bucks, two boards and a couple of clamps for about $10USD. It's very basic but will work just fine and you can use it for pvc also. Also if you use a diameter of PVC pipe close to your blade width you can just flatten it without the need for rivets but you need to wrap the blade in a layer or two of painters tape to have enough room for it to not be too tight and get the proper retension . It is much easier to do it that way instead of riveting. You can cut it to shape on the end and incorporate a thumb push and belt loop, all one piece
Your information is appreciated. The reason I chose PVC is not because it is better than kydex but because kydex is expensive in Canada. Thanks for commenting
Canadian Tire is the truth... ha ha ha ha Greetings and Blessings from Georgian Bay, ON. I’m a pancake (versus Taco style) kind of sheath moulding dude. Ever worked with the 1/16” PVC Grey coloured vent pipe? Like you, I used 2” pipe that rolls open to 2” give or take. Have made a few sheaths these days. Thanks for the DIY; budget sensitive approach. Now to work on Ferro rod holders. Thanks for all the new ideas you passed on. Even if I have built a few sheaths and masks for axes, I always learn new things from you. Cheers and Blessings!
Hello from the East Coast. I have not tried the 1/16" PVC. I may for a future project. Something between the two I am using would be good. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for the sharing.I also did the pvc projects but yours is much more detailed in explanation and gave me a lot of ideas to improve my sheath. Thanks again. 🙏🙏
One thing I found out when working with old sewer pipe, be sure to wash it very well. When heating it up, it tends to smell like crap, literally 😳😆 Great video! I just finished my second pvc sheath. I did learn a couple of things that I wasn’t doing which will make it much better on my next one. Love the tip on the rivets 👍🏻👍🏻
This is one of the best videos I've seen on youtube. This is high quality video effort. Your sheath looks amazing. I want to do the same thing but make a fire striker rod sleeve and flashlight sleeve then attach it to my .45 pistol holster. Woodsman bundle! Much thanks from America.

I learn alot from watching your video. Your explanation was spot on Everytime. You were meticulous but not to the point of being overbearing. In conclusion I give you 7 stars for this entire presentation. I like the way you merge the two thickness to create a solid effect, beautifully done. Keep up the good work. Chin. Malaysia
Hey!! I did the same thing with the Harbor Freight "Survival/ Hunting" knife. Around $8 (U.S.). I wanted to see if I could break it.... Nope. I did modify it before I beat on it. Batoning fatwood. Ive gone through 4 or 5 pine stumps. Still going strong. And I also found another one at the local Goodwill. I got that one for $5. They're the hollow handle type. I epoxied the blades in and replaced the pins with pieces of drill bits. And the handles I stuffed with cotton balls. Because theres a compass in there. Cotton can be used for tinder, or anything.
Hello Mark, Love this project, 2 things , it sure looks to me that you would be able to slide a belt through the loop to wear the knife horizontal, and the sewer pipe band could carry a small sharpener like a mini DMT diamond grit.. along with a (as Mors used to say) a steel match,( ferro rod)..be well..
Merry Christmas John. I missed mentioning the ferro-rod loop and had forgotten about the horizontal carry although it was in my mind when I came up with the design. Lots of possibilities with this design for sure. Thanks for commenting
Thank you, have exactly the same problem. Bought a inexpensive kife, knife hold up but sheath is that same stupid nylon. The stitching came undone, droped the knife a few times already because of the stupid sheath. Was looking for a leather replacement but not going to pay more for a leather sheath than the knife. Will give it a go tomorrow. Thank you. God bless 🙏
Another great project. I particularly love how you were able to take a low-cost item and improve it! Curious as to how this knife from Canadian Tire compares to a Mora Companion?
Hey John. Glad you liked the video. The two knives are not really in the same class. Even the cheapest Mora is made from either 12c27 stainless steel of their version of 1095 carbon steel. This is a beast by comparison. The Mora, to me is more of a finesse knife. They would compliment each other as two good budget knives. Thanks for commenting
love the knife.. picked up 4 of these at my local crappy tire for 6 bucks on clearance.. been looking for a good sheath alternative because these knives are too cheap to buy nice kydex or leather .. old milk bottles should do the trick
Let me know how you make out with the milk bottles. I have tried heat shaping them but they loose their shape fairly quickly. Maybe if I just made a simple pouch sheath it would have been better. Thanks for commenting
Cool project! Seems like this sort of thing is hardly allowed in Canada anymore with how restrictive/unfree things have become up there. I guess you could make a sheath just to keep your knife in the garage.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I visited once about 10 years, and absolutely loved it (Quebec City and Montreal, cause I speak French. Loved both of them). Are you allowed to carry knives with one handed opening locking blades, possibly with spring assist? Kinda blows mind there's any restrictions on knives at all, it's one of humantity's oldest tools.. As an American of a bit of a rough cut rural upbringing, it absolutely blew my mind when I found out Canadians couldn't carry pepper spray or carry knives for self-defense (or any weapons at all)... I can't imagine the twisted reasoning for banning pepper spray, I carry one daily.... Even with it's issues, I would exchange the US healthcare system for the Canadian one, and I think a parliamentarian system is superior to a presidential one, on average...
Hi Mark! Great project and vid. Hope you re going well. I experimented with central vacuum pipe and it does the job very well. Bnq pipe is quite thick. You should try it out.
Can you explain how you flatened the pvc at 22:10 compared to a few seconds earlier on the video? How did you get it so flat? That is the area that I keep having trouble with. Thank you for making this with such great details and explanations!
Truly, it is a matter or re-heating and applying enough pressure until you are satisficed with its shape. In this case, I likely (can't remember for sure) re-heated and flattened it again after I cut the curved shape from the rectangle. You may find you have to do it a few times to get it where you want it. Hope this helps
hi mark, how about leaving enough space at the spine between the two pvc's to hold a ferro rod? it wouldn't have to be a perfect fit, if your rod has a length of bungee cord it would hold itself tight against the thick pvc. nice vid as always. neil
Great idea. In fact, I thought about that as I was working on the sheath and forgot to mention it. It would be an easy addition to this project. Thanks for commenting
Great video Mark. I picked up that knife at Canadian Tire last year for $9.99 and am going to make one those sheath as I agree the one that came with it is crap. I find the knife is a good value when you get it for the sale price but wouldn't pay full price for it. Cheers my friend!
I've been eyeing that Outbound knife for awhile, to use as a beater...nice project Mark, I may just give this one a go if I do purchase one. How has the use of it been for you? :)
Hey Laurence. I don't think you can go wrong with this knife. Especially when it is on sale. I have done some winter survival teaching for a friend of mine and we have six of these for use by the students. No damage to mine and no damage to the student knives. It is not as refined as the Triple X Bushman but is a great user. Thanks for commenting
Absolutely could do that. The reason I went this way was weight and degree of challenge to cut, heat and mold the heavier PVC. If you can find PVC between the heavy and light as I have it would be ideal. Thanks for commenting
Mark, kind of very loosely related: "batoning around the house". Have you ever tried one of those with a cordless drill: s.aliexpress.com/YVBrMfaI I have stopped batoning kindling since I have this toy. It's just so much faster and easier.
If you're not a Boy Scout leader, you really should be. All of your projects are very interesting, fascinating, and fun!
Probably too old to keep up with the kids. Glad you like the videos. Thanks for commenting
