Easy Leather Sword Sheath

[@bradfarley3051]

Why is this channel not at a million subscribers? Criminally underrated content!

[@dungeondesigns104]

Seriously! I say the same thing every time I watch one of his videos!

[@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou]

It's growing at a steady rate. It was not all that long ago under 10,000.

[@rockinrswoodshop]

FREAKING LOVE THIS DUDE! He is going to love it!! And the video for the sword build will be coming out soon on my channel! If I can get my phone/camera to cooperate… Love the build dude, and the fact that you were able to put in his nickname on the nameplate will make this a wedding gift FOR THE AGES!!!

[@filstewart2380]

Love you referencing the wonderful Chuck...

[@possumwithaswitchblade]

Great build! So glad you mentioned Chuck Dorsett. His videos got me started in leathercraft and I still learn so much from him. As soon as you said "it looks like it was die cut" I knew you'd been watching him too.

[@julialewis8794]

Chuck is amazing. His enthusiasm is contagious, much like yours! It's why I watch both channels.

[@guyjin788]

I've looked at a quite a few sheath vids and this one is by far the simplest and the best looking.

[@SinfulSkinsLeather]

If you plan on doing larger pieces that need dyed, I got a spray gun from harbor freight. It's a game changer.

[@SkillTree]

Ooooh! That is an AMAZING idea.

[@HNXMedia]

The wet-molding took the "flat side" shape of the sword perfectly! I made one of these for a Starfire Sword about a year ago using Chuck's instructions. It turned out so good. I sold the sword and sheath as a set. Chuck is the Jedi Master of leather. You did an awesome job on your build!

[@francescacimino5315]

LEGIT JUST DID THIS WITH A STARFIRE DAGGER! this tutorial was so easy and worked great!

[@tb0692]

You can also sand off the black paint from your pricking irons. That helps the irons come out of your leather more easily. Another great project, as usual!

[@LaineyBug2020]

I love it when you geek out over how cool something you made looks!

[@stuartbaxter-potter8363]

I'm curious why you went with a saddle stitch over a baseball stitch? It seems like the baseball stitch would save a tiny bit of material and also let the seam lie flatter for the sheath.

[@donaldmcdaniel1773]

I had just finished watching Chuck before I started watching this one. Mostly Kit followed what Chuck did, except the other personal decorations.

[@Edrogrimshell]

I'd love to see you do more metalworking, I'd really love to see you make a spring steel knife or a railroad spike tomahawk or something along those lines.

[@gaela2659]

Holy hell! Everytime I think about making something, you go and do it first! That's some nice mind-reading skills right there! Hehe. Super thank you, man. As always, very helpful, very fun and super entertaining. I love your videos and your deserve a million (or more) subscribers!

[@MakerCuisine]

Wow the sheath came out looking really great! Big old chonky boi

[@austinfaircloth1831]

A leather cowboy hat would be cool to make

[@palomapalacios6036]

Drinking horns are cool, but can you make a gourd bottle (maybe decorate it with scrimshaw or wrap it in leather)?

[@saxonhermit]

This could not have come at a better time. I just got a foam longsword from Calimacil modelled on Sir Radzig's sword from Kingdom Come: Deliverance,, and was planning on making a scabbard for it. Talk about synchronicity! Jung would have a field day with this coincidence.

[@BeInspiredwithDominic]

That's an awesome sheath for an awesome sword! Thanks for sharing!

[@davidbell2535]

Love Chuck!

[@farmerkraft3215]

Can you show us how to make a metal sword with a sheath please would love to see how you do it!

[@dolphinlunasol3486]

Could you maybe do a episode on making a water skin? I think that would be awesome

[@johndavidlynn8653]

What about a belt loop or shoulder strap to make carrying the sword much easier?

[@SkillTree]

Good idea! I didn't include it in this build becaise it is a gift and I wasn't sure what they wanted. I usually use a frog muself. Then the scabbard can sit in it and not need a loop.

[@byronrazor]

Why not make one for your ocean sword you made a while back?

[@mythologymania4365]

Ok, now I just need a sword to put in my sheath

[@SkillTree]

LOL. Can never have enough sharp pointy things.

[@low-cozmic3364]

Was feeling kinda down yesterday, thanks for the vid. Really helps me out

[@c03evans]

Love Chuck D.!

[@CaulderLeather]

Rez - O - leen. Nice sheath though 🤣

[@PatrickCordaneReeves]

Over time, the crisp lines from the stencil and dye will eventually get a little fuzzy. It's not bad, but if you need it to be exact forever, well... It won't be. Sorta like a tattoo. It'll stay crisp for awhile, but eventually it may blur slightly.

[@rudibaroni88]

Always amazing contents here, this video came up at the perfect time, my blacksmith is making me a sword and i need to make a scabbard like this but with a metal tip.

[@beowulfshaeffer8444]

Very cool :) I will put this to use on a couple machetes👍

[@samuelabe8308]

Man, where do you find these big piece of leather ?

[@elijahoconnell]

could you do this eventually with a curved sword… a CURVED S W O R D as i would imagine the process would have some of its own nuances

[@tricksterjoy9740]

I mean every single blade would require it’s own nuances. So yes a curved sword would as well, and you’d only need to envision the “draw path” (the path the sword takes on the draw. The only relevant difference between a straight and curved blade is the draw path.

[@leeh.6371]

This is a fantastic method for larp weapons, but it's not going to be suitable for sharp steel swords 👍 it looks absolutely amazing tho

[@bebopfirefly]

That was such a cool build!!

[@DonsArtnGames]

First off, I'm binging your whole channel and loving all of it so far, but one thing that keeps popping in and ruffling me is when you say you are curing the contact cement... It's called flashing the cement and then called curing once the pieces are finalized and waiting for full bond... I'm probably just being an overdose of nerdy. Thanks again for your skill sharing!

[@leeowen6723]

Damn nice bro, keep it up!!!

[@carthius]

Very nice. Me personally i am more a fan of the Baseball stitch. Its a bit more complicated b/c your measurements have to be more precise and if you dont do it quite right its kind of noticeable but i think itd give you a cleaner look for this. Granted others wont really notice the backside but you will ;) If you do a second one for yourself you should give it a try. It will also give you reason to make a second video on the same situation.

[@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou]

Doing a second and third is not necessarily the wrong practise. As an example, every painting Bob Ross did for television has three variations. The first one was to get ideas and timing down, and the others were for the show and for books. I have no idea whether he did the show or book variant first. A Skill Tree line of books is not a bad idea, essentially since projects have been featured as a build up. The branding is right, and the methods are approachable with multiple tools, from practical to ridiculously specific, to do the same tasks, which could all be demonstrated in book form.

[@jjj46785]

How do you attach it to a belt though

[@alexstone5530]

I would love to see a video on blade upkeep. Things like taking care of knives and swords, as well as removing rust. I love your chanel, keep up the amazing work!

[@bear788]

its here

[@SkillTree]

MUAHAHAHAHA!

[@JohnDoe-dr7ep]

Can you make one out of fur? Wolf fur

[@HarryHirsch84]

Hi love your vids🥰

[@SkillTree]

Thank you for watching!

[@jonathonclary1681]

If this were a regular blade you wouldn't be just wrapping leather around the blade. You'd be creating a Scabbard which would be two slats of would with a channel cut to accommodate the blade and leather wrapped around it. the dimensions of your leather may actually be the same. But you wouldn't want to make a scabbord for this guy because it would be unfeasibly large.

[@Marcpowers]

First, and dope sword

[@SkillTree]

RIGHT? He did such a great job!

[@DonaldMcDaniel-c4l]

👍👍👍👍

[@yeshua5581]

Hola Skill Tree no fui el primer comentario¡¡ >:3 , Genial, me sirvio mucho, gracias!, soy un famoso que paso a saludar, ah no mentiras jsjjsjsj, pero podria serlo :3 ,

[@gmikecstein]

Umm, actually... the bludgeoner 5000's pommel is wrong. Viking swords didn't have those, they came along in the 11th and 12th century.

[@SkillTree]

......... did you just ummm actually me???? Damn, but that is a good lil bit of info though🤣🤣🤣

[@gmikecstein]

@@SkillTree 😂 I did. It takes all kinds of nerds. Just give Petersen Sword types a search, then Oakshott. You'll see the chronology of how swords developed. As a sword nerd I've spent hours on it. Definitely worth a gander.

[@DaemonsBane]

Would be neat if you fixed that bulge on the back side, at the bottom..

[@MashIsMe]

"I mean... T'was"
