Sheaths & Hangers

[Kepis]

Made from 3mm Veg tan out of Le Prevo, all sheaths hold a regular Mora, Clipper and my Helle nice and snug, and not by design admitedly, but they also hold my SM knife nice and snug as well

Had a load of old offcuts in the leather box, so decided to make a load of braided hangers for the family while i waited for the Grand Prix to start this afternoon, i ran out of dog clips which is why the middle one only has a ring at the moment

The sheaths took just over a day from the initial cut to the finished sheaths, all done with hand tools as unfortunately i dont have the room for a proper workshop with pillar drills etc.

The hangers, well that's a bit of trade secret im afraid .

Have a look here to find out how to make them http://www.ohboydenterprises.com/InstructionsTrickBraidLeatherBracelets.html, very easy to make once you figure out the braiding.

They're all brilliant! and the fact that you've used hand tools just makes them even better

I still can't do the braiding unless I've got the instructions handy to refer back to, although it does get easier the more you do

Cheers RB, making the hangers takes a bit of getting used to, although it is good way to use up small offcuts of leather .
