DIY Leather Bow Quiver - Traditional Archery

[@elkhunter8664]

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.

[@homesteadonomics]

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🤤

[@toronado455]

lots and lots of patience with all that stitching. very nice work!

[@homesteadonomics]

toronado455 thank you😀🙏

[@sdbigguy]

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.

[@homesteadonomics]

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,. 😉👍

[@magicdaveable]

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.

[@stilcrazychris]

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

[@homesteadonomics]

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😉

[@raynoladominguez4730]

This project turned out very nice. Great job.

[@homesteadonomics]

Raynola Dominguez thank you Raynola!

[@JoshuaMichail0]

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.

[@homesteadonomics]

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 😂

[@kenpoist7]

Homesteading Ninja. Really enjoy the leather work. Quality work takes time. 👍🏻

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

That turned out really nice. I didn't know the leatherwork was that intensive, either. Makes me more appreciative.

[@homesteadonomics]

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😀👍

[@danielfisch655]

Great job, looks beautiful and thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to work with leather and now I have no excuses.

[@homesteadonomics]

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😀👍

[@danielfisch655]

homesteadonomics thank you, I will check them out today. I have a few holsters and belts to repair.

[@GanderFlight]

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!

[@homesteadonomics]

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🥶

[@HoustonR6ryda]

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

[@homesteadonomics]

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 💪

[@BigSkyAtNight]

homesteadonomics get some good cold weather gear, it’s REALLY “chilly” (COLD!) at night now.. days are still nice! Nice sunny weekend also 👍

[@flinginfernandez7622]

Well done. It's looks awesome. Huge improvement.

[@satxsatxsatx]

great job The contrast stitching reminds me of a 1970s polyester leisure suit. :)

[@bulldozer7656]

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.

[@homesteadonomics]

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 ;)

[@homesteadonomics]

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😉

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

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.

[@homesteadonomics]

John Fithian-Franks thank you John! The puffy thing is a string silencer. Just helped to buffer the vibration and sound of the string😀👍

[@jamespotter936]

John Fithian-Franks It keeps the string from making noise when it’s released. I think.

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

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!

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks Mary! If I remember right, Ian Atkinson from Leodis Leather has done some really nice phone holsters. Check him out😀👍

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.
