Making a Machete Sheath

[RonRay]

Great, simple design!

It just occurred to me.... You are right handed but you designed that sheath for a left hand user, didn't you?

[ArtisanTony]

@RonRay Thanks!

[rufeda51]

@ArtisanTony Very Good

[ArtisanTony]

@rufeda51 Thanks!

[supercupfly123]

yo man your awesome would love to learn how u do everything mabye you could post some tutorials?... on how to like make sheaths and basic on making knifes things like that would be much appriciated :D

[ArtisanTony]

@supercupfly123 I am going to be making another sheath soon. I will try to be more descriptive. Thanks!

[njmvermont]

is that machete cut from a bigger corona machete

[ArtisanTony]

@njmvermont I don't remember the brand name but yes, it was cut down from a bigger machete. Thanks!

[chevyguy632]

where do you get your leather caus im from nashville and i wanna make a sheath for my machete

[ArtisanTony]

@chevyguy632 Tandy Leather Factory!

[chevyguy632]

@ArtisanTony thanks do they have a website?

[ArtisanTony]

@chevyguy632 tandyleatherfactoryDOTcom :)

[jkent1996]

what did you use what material?

[ArtisanTony]

@jkent1996 thick leather, thanks!

[TiM9FG]

nice video.

[ArtisanTony]

@TiM9FG Thank you!

[justyoustupid]

If i may, why does a big man like yourself need a machete?

[MYFARTSSMELLLIKEGIGG]

whats with the music

[ArtisanTony]

@MYFARTSSMELLLIKEGIGG lol, I don't remember why this music ended up on this video. I think originally I had copyrighted music and I had to change it.

[Zyncler]

anybody know where i can pick up a good machete in Ontario Canada? ive been looking for one everywhere but i can only find crappy ones

[michelb08]

Would have loved it to be in slomo though lol

good vid thanks, I made my own sheet too olmost the same way heh

[ArtisanTony]

@unraveledtree I have lived in the woods. What have you done. Trolls are not tolerated around here.

[CHACHANG58]

cool video, but wouldn't it be uncomfortable to walk with a 22'' machete on your belt???

[ArtisanTony]

@CHACHANG58 I made it to mount to my pack. You are right! It is too large to side carry. Thanks.

[032125]

Gah! Pop rivets suck ass. Otherwise great video, rock on Tony.

[ArtisanTony]

@032125 lol, this was the only time I used them I think, I stitch everything now.

[032125]

@ArtisanTony I was going to say use solid copper rivets, because I'd worry about the machete cutting the sinew (I assume that you use artificial sinew) but you could always drop a folded plastic insert into the sheath on the edge side.

[ArtisanTony]

@032125 The one thing I did not show in the video was the leather cement I used. This leather is really thick and I have had no problems with it. Thanks!

[deckflip]

1:20 is bad cause you risk taking the temper out, if your gonna make a great sheath you might as well put the time into beveling your machete right

[ArtisanTony]

@deckflip Everything will be OK, just take a deep breath :)

[deckflip]

@ArtisanTony sorry, i was just saying

[ArtisanTony]

@deckflip LOL

[MeromTeRupe]

1:20 very bad  :|

[ArtisanTony]

@MeromTeRupe Why is that? :)

[MeromTeRupe]

@ArtisanTony

i don't tell you :P

[pelletGUNguy]

im 13 and my dad takes me hunting i did this with my machete but i cut leather strips and tied it up instead of the bolt things

[ArtisanTony]

@pelletGUNguy After this sheath I learned how to stitch and now I do not use the rivets anymore so it sounds like what you did probably looks better. Thanks!

[texasborn2001]

Some fine work there! Great video and thank you very much for the info on the origin of the leather. I have searched for a leather shop that sold leather and now I have found one!

Finally others wil be protected from my 28 & 26 inch Imacas machete!

[ArtisanTony]

@texasborn2001 Thanks! haha, protect them :)

[JonnyMartin2010]

Where do you get the leather and buttons?

[ArtisanTony]

@JonnyMartin2010 Tandy Leather Factory. I am lucky to have one in town but they also have a website, Thanks!

[AngryGinger79]

Like the rivets

[ArtisanTony]

@AngryGinger79 Thanks! I have grown to like stitching now but the rivets are fast and easy.

[RickD267]

Totally Bril Tony, a great starting point for anyone interested in leatherworking.

[ArtisanTony]

@RickD267 Thanks! This was basically my starting point :)

[J0llyGrn]

Soak it in some wax and it will come out with a great look to it and it will feel tough like kydex

[ArtisanTony]

@J0llyGrn Thanks for the suggestion. I am soon going to stitch it and take the metal cap rivets out. Then I will wax it as you suggested.

[ismaelillo3]

This helped me a lot sir......Thank you...

[ArtisanTony]

@ismaelillo3 Thanks! I am now stitching my sheaths which seems to look better.

[RichTheRidgeHunter]

Ok now I need to know where you get that great leather! I NEED SOME. Great job! 5/5 I enjoy watching your vids. Keep up the great job.

[ArtisanTony]

Thanks! I get the leather form Tandy Leather Factory. We have on local and they have a lot of scrap pieces to choose from which are perfect for sheath making. A piece that size would be around $7.00 I think. I like the thick stuff. It has to be at least 1/8" thick. If you can't find any let me know and I'll send you some :)

[bearpatch1]

Tony, again my friend awesome work. 5/5*

thanks, JC

[ArtisanTony]

Thanks JC, I like the Gear Finds video, neat stuff!
