Comment by Jason Oncedisturbed Riley on July 31, 2014 at 5:49: Nice sheathes and holsters. The crosdraw is not my design as I have a template for it that i had made up for me.

Basically i find a style and put my "tweak" on it.

Have only just entered the realm of holsters after completing my first for all sized revolvers and mid range pistols.
Will be starting on a range of glock holsters from 9mm through 357 version over the next few weeks.

Nice job I like the cross draw sheath. Is this your pattern?

Would like to attempt one similar.

Comment by Jan Carter on July 17, 2014 at 20:50: Bruce you have been busy and doing very well!!!

Comment by Bob Robinson on July 17, 2014 at 6:59: Nice work Bruce. You have been busy.

Comment by Bruce McLain on July 16, 2014 at 22:19: Nice work all.

Here are pics of the last 4 projects I have compleated 1 holster for a 9mm Makarov, 2 pouch style belt sheaths for assist open knives by Black Legion,And 1 Honeydo pouch for my wifes garden shears. The sheaths have 3" belt loop with a snap so you can put on and remove with out removing your belt.

Comment by Bob Robinson on July 4, 2014 at 20:26: I made a couple of simple sheaths for some knives. They are simple but really functional for me. I gave the small bucksaw knife to my son. I had a triple thickness of leather to sew through and finally figured out to soak in water a few minutes to make sewing easier. I have about 4 or so more sheaths to make for long knives and one or two for large pocket knives.I am going to try different patterns for some of those. I am learning.

Comment by Jason Oncedisturbed Riley on July 3, 2014 at 21:47: Thanks all, still learning and a long way to go yet.

Loving the style that Ivars makes and would love to progress to that level.

I have some cool Celtic designs to use but need a lot of practice on tooling the designs into some scrap leather

Comment by Bob Robinson on July 3, 2014 at 21:44: I'm a rookie just trying to make a couple of sheaths for some straight knives for hunting. I'll put a pic on when I finish but they will not be pro grade by any means. Just functional.
