Got me one o' them Bob Dustrude folding saws a few days ago, and decided to make a case for it. Materials are cordura and webbing, sewn together using bonded nylon thread, in my usual 'functional' (ie, untidy) style. All done by eye - no measurements at all. First time I've sewn anything on the machine for a handful of years, and I'm pleased with the result.
Front view. Basically a long tube with a flap at one end, closed by a 20mm fastex buckle. The reason for the loop at the right hand end (which bows away from the case a little) will become apparent later.
Rear view. Two loops with 1" tri-glide buckles allow a bit of webbing to be attached so that it can be slung over the shoulder if desired.
The top of the opening folds over when the flap is closed to minimise the chance of rain dribbling in.
There is a sleeve inside to hold a spare blade...
...thus...
Just fits into the 'handle sleeve' on my Sabre 75.
The loop at the bottom of the saw case is there so that the male part of the fastex buckle on the rucksack can pass through and give guaranteed retention of the saw. If the bottom of the saw were to move off the bottom strap, it would only slip down 2-3 inches.
Fitted to the rucksack and the straps all done up. It sticks out a bit at the top and skews the strap for the rucksack's top flap a little (although the sac isn't full in this photo). I might try it without using the handle sleeve - just move it to the right under the handle flap thingy and compression straps, while still using the retention loop at the bottom.
