(Spikey) Monocular Pouch

[scruff]

After getting my hands on one of the groovey little Lomo 8 x 30 Monoculars (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=15030), nice one Spike , I decided to have a go at making some form of pouch to hold it in.

Its my first bash at anything other than a sheath and at using a light "baby poo" (aka. buckskin) dye on the leather.

There are at three mistakes but hey the next one will be better.

Also made another sheath for my Shing/scruff bushy and its much better than the first!! Uses a Grohmann style sheath loop, which I think is a brilliant idea....and its really easy! This time using Medium Brown dye which is actually a rather dark brown.

(oops piccy is a little dark...but its the best sheath you've ever seen )

ps. thanks to jdlenton & leon-1 for the tips I picked up at the Moot. the sheath pic doesn't do your fine tuition justice

Looks very nice mate, well done.

What are those fasteners that you've used to secure the flap closed called, I've seen them on various bits of kit but never know what to call them!

They're Sam Browne studs. I got mine from Le Prevo but I'm sure they can be picked up at other leather suppliers such as Identity Store or Bowstock ltd.

Thanks, I've not heard of Bowstock before - looks like a handy website.
