New to the craft
Hello all,
I am new to this board and brand new to leather craft, but my intent is to make leather knife sheaths. I need someone I can discuss the process with, easpecially when it comes to design and measuring. I learn by the socratic method so anyone who could converse with me through this forum it would be much appreciated! |

Welcome Tobi
Lot of great info up in the "Sticky" section as well. As Jeff said, lots of great talent to learn from here, so don't be timid with questions. Pictures always help with visualizing problem issues, so psot if you can. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

There are several terrific sheathmakers that drop by here from time to time. A couple of them, Chuck Burrows and Paul Long, have terrific videos that I highly recommend.
You might also try hooking up on leatherworker.net. Lots of good info and leatherworking folks on there. __________________ God bless Texas! Now let's secede!! |
