Description

LEATHER KNIFE SHEATHS SUPER SAVER #2 (4 DVD Set!).

Folder Sheaths with Paul Long

Paul Long started working with leather while attending Texas A&I back in 1951, and it remained a hobby of his until he retired in 1995. After retirement, Paul trained with a master boot and saddle maker for a year. This gave him a good foundation for taking his leather work into almost any direction.

In 2004, Paul was asked to make some sheaths for a friend of his who made knives, and the rest is history. Now Paul specializes strictly in knife sheaths, and with nearly 60 years of experience in working with leather, he has become one of the leading sheath makers of our nation.

In this DVD, Paul builds three folder sheaths from start to finish. He builds a flap sheath, a pocket sheath, and a pouch sheath. In addition to the three folder sheaths, Paul also demonstrates how to inlay an exotic skin into a sheath.

Some of the topics covered are:

* Pattern making for the three sheaths

* Lining the inside of a sheath

* Different types of belt loops

* Adding a flap stud* Sheath tooling

* Sheath finishing

(Running Time: 3 Hour 15 Minutes)

Rawhide Neck Sheaths with John Cohea

John Cohea is a frontier style knifemaker and leather worker from Nettleton, Mississippi. In this video, John demonstrates how to make two rawhide neck sheaths.
