Leather Flashlight Pouch

[nessmuk51]

Hello friends! last week I finally made some time to try to make a sheath using the stitching technique that I saw some time ago in Flickr (I recomend you to look at this collection, the work of the user "singteck" are really amazing!), so, I start trying to do a sheath for my old pocket flashlight just to try, and It turned out better than I expected.


I hope have a little more time soon (and a piece of scrap leather a little bigger) to try to do a pouch bigger than this one.


Here are some pictures:

Thanks for looking

I've got to stop reading these leatherwork topics, I'm going to end up spending more time and money on expanding my tool set lol.
Very nice work looks perfect, only question is how easy is it to get the torch out or do you have to invert the case to slide it out?

+1 for how impressive that is.

My first attempt looks terrible when put up against that,

If truth be told it looks pretty bad without comparing it to anything

WOW That really is amazing for a first attempt
Cant wait to see your work when you get "better" lol

Singtek was a member on here when he was UK based and British Red among others has some very well made goods from him.
Your torch sheath is very good.

How do you get the holes lined up when you do the box stitch? Do you glue the leather together or do you use some kind of holding device?

Very fine workmanship

Thank greensurfingbear, I don´t use any device or glue to hold together the two pieces of leather while sewing it, only the first two holes are a little more complicated, after that, the leather pieces don´t move any more.

very nice and professional! i really like that

 

[PeterJeffrey]

wow! this was very nice work you've done!
how long would you say it took to make the pouch? what tools did you use?
i would like to make one of my own for my Maglite XL, but as a total newbie I would like to get more into how it's done

oh did I mention that i'm impressed? x)

jajjaj yes, is true, the flashlight comes out quite easy, but the design could be greatly improved leaving room for fingers on the sides, in fact I thought about it, but as it was only a test I was not worry too much about it

...sorry for my english
