Laplander sheath and Heavy detachable danglies

[rancid badger]

Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of a job I'm on with at the moment;

The loop is extra long to allow the sheath to be worn very low and the danglies, are for a possibles pouch, so I beefed these up with a third press stud for extra security.

It's done in 4.5mm heavy veg tan, as usual; hand sewn with artificial sinew, and I've used a few brass rivets for extra security.

Cheers
R.B.

Really nice work, Badger.
That looks like a really useful piece of kit.

Where is your wonderful artwork?
The stuff is great, but it would be better with some of your "doodles"!

Thanks fella's, I'm learning all the time and know I still have a long way to go but it's great to be trying new techniques like riveting for example; not as simple as it looks (well not for me it wasn't:11doh: )

Just a quick "fix" for John:

Thanks again fella's

This is the last piece in the set; a dual purpose axe hanger. It had to be suitable for carrying either the S.F.A. or the Wildlife Hatchet:
4.5mm veg tan same as the rest of the set.

it was bit of a puzzle to figure out how to cover both tools securely but I did my best!

The loop is just big enough for the S.F.A. and of course ample for the hatchet, so the two position over strap holds everything nice and snug, It's made from colombo veg tan.

The three female studs match the detachable loops made previously, so There is a bit of a theme with the set.
I also replaced the dangler on the sheath, at the customers request as it was felt to be too long. All the loops in the set are now the same size.
I need to finish it off but overall I'm quite pleased with how it all came together

A not too good picture of the full set:

Thanks for looking
R.B.
