No worries Verloc. If you still want a sheath let me know (assuming you bought the same auger). I have,

Red
Ratbag
Intrepid Stu

Still 2 more going.

Tony,

Sorry for not replying sooner. As soon as my leather comes I will get these done. By all means pay now or pay when they're ready. I didn't want to ask for payment just cos they're not done yet. It's very kind of y'all to pay up front. Thanks.

Folks these are ready now, I've made a subtle change to the design after field-testing mark one!
I'll send PMs with payment details to Tony and Stu.

Should you ever feel like it, one from the batch after this please Shep (If you are not sick of the sight of them!)
Nice work.
Regards.
Chris.

And another for me from the hoped for second batch :)

I'd also agree with robin, a nice leather case without the belt loop would be preferable, I have more than enough things hanging of my belt already :D

WELL, I am sworn to only do leather work for enjoyment and not get bogged down in mass-production...
AND I am looking forward to doing my next design
AND I am a bit bored of making these...

BUT, I have trouble saying no and I appreciate the interest, so I'll make another 5 if I get two more names and can still get the augers. Add to your name if you want a belt loop or not. Cheers folks.

Thanks for this Shep, one more needed to complete the list but if nobody jumps in soon I'll take two to make the five. Just a thought, how easy would it be to keep the 'loop' but not attach the working end thus forming a cover flap for the pouch?

The list so far...

Chris the Cat
Sandbender - no belt loop
Mikey P
southey - no auger?

That's fine. I'll try to lay my hands on 4 more augers and get started on Southey's ASAP.

Cover flap is no problem, I'll stick a Sam Browne stud on the front for closure. I just use a piece of thong through two holes in the top of the pouch which I tie through the auger eye. If anyone wants either of these options they're welcome, just ammend the list accordingly.

If any of those I have already made want the holes punched and a piece of thong to secure the auger, just ask. I didn't get to the PO today!
