I found that using a pencil or dowel as a drainage hole allows you to was your sheath out easily wash it out and then rinse it with tap under power and it, and it will wash any dirt out easily. Using a air gun on a compressor will force dirt into the crease at the sides sometimes. I also use a very fine round brush on a long wire handle to help was it out. Thanks for the tips!

Second time watching, like Gilligan's Island, each time I watch I catch more. A question on your bandsaw, which I see is in a totally awesome bestest ever SWAG stand. What blade are you using? And do you know if those wee portable bandsaws can use anything other than a 1/2" blade?

Hello, thanks for the tips. Question: I am making my first kydex press and purchased the extreme foam you suggested. I am wondering if the gap between the surfaces of the press should be made equal to the combined thickness of the two foam panels or should I shrink that gap a hair to account for foam compression? Thanks in advance!

I need to make one or 2 sheaths. A 24x36x3" piece of high density foam from walmart wont work?
@GLGForgeworks10 ай бұрын
It could. The trick is to get the Kydex warmed up enough that it’s floppy like cooked lasagna and get it into the foam and pressed down.

Dumb question maybe... can a kydex sheath be made for a folded pocket knife? 🤔

Not a dumb question. Yea it could, it would give you the option to carry it outside of your pockets.

Hi i have a holster that came with my handgun the bad thing is that is right handed, i was wondering if i could bend the kydex to fit my left side.
@GLGForgeworks Жыл бұрын
You would probably lose a bit of retention. I’d reach out to who made it and see if they make a left sided versions
@Adrian-rv5xn Жыл бұрын
I already talked to them (canik), and they don't make a left-handed one.

Sorry just saw this. I go .80 and get eyelets from knife kits. It’s. A little thicker than .60 it’s sturdy and holds well.
