For those asking where to find tools:
I bought mine some years ago when I was starting to make leather sheaths. I went for the cheapest I was able to find. Have been working great so far! Can't find exactly the one I have but I listed some in my amazon storefront that are pretty much the same and any similar ones will work aswell.

Самый самый интересный давай меня пожалуйста
I hate how you hang axes with cast aluminum you're ruining the temper of the head when you do that there's nothing wrong with hanging an axe on a wooden handle the right way they last years and when they break they're easy to replace
I'm new at leather. So far one wet molded filleting knife sheath as well as two axe sheathes. Loving the craft! This looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
I recently made a wallet at a craft place using similar techniques and the tools they provided made it so hard to make sure everything was even. Everything you did was beautiful and looks so much easier (though I know it takes skill and practice to have a product that looks this amazing!) Thanks for the video!
Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing! I searched for 'how to make a hatchet sheath' and yours came up first. I gonna make one now. Thanks again.
When something is just beyond craftsmanship. It's art, fine art. Great job man!
thanks for sharing this skill. it was my first leatherworking attempt. doesn't look as professional as yours but you have inspired me to try more. much appreciated.
Bravo. The art of leather processing has disappeared in my country. I appreciate masters like you.
IDOLO, continua così, sei un orgoglio italiano!!
😍😍😍 i like so much how it looks
Perfect, you are a true artist, a genius ! Bravissimo ! Magnifico ! 👍🏻😺
A great Boy Scout project.
Great job on the sheath! Thank you.
Very cool - thanks for posting.
Simple yet elegant 👍👍
Oh wow, that so simple but so well crafted!
I love when tout speak about leather!
You can do everything , bravo .
Awesome job, thanks for sharing your talents.
I see you know what you are doing.Great job.
You make the stitch grooving look so easy. I’m awful at it- somehow my groove always comes out uneven, too far in or out. It’s very frustrating. Great video- it’s been a big help to me.
Really would love to try some leatherwork. This looks like an approachable project. Thanks Gader!
I'm sure you've found that it is a little expensive.
nice job, of course it helps to have all the right tools 👍😉
Awesome work, definitely something I need to try at some point
Very helpful, thank you and blessedly without too much talk :)
Very Cool hatchet sheath !!!!!
Simple leatherworking project but made with passion ;) Good job!!
Very good lession in the craft of leather work !
I loved the movie theaters when still more common tracks that take me back only listening to new rock bands like the delta parole gives me the epic movie feelings.
Nice job m8 ,my axe head is n just like yours and ive found the right way of making a sheath now thanks to you ,cheers for the idea, Greetings from Wales UK ,wherever you are .

Thanks so much for not blathering on for 25 minutes sharing meaningless crap about how "your uncle really loved to use a mahogany stain but you feel that the butter pecan gold dye really speaks to you" I appreciate you showing the task only. Subscribed and liked
Very cool How to edit is very helpful.
Ver,y nice! 👍👍
Very nice
I made a viking ax and two broke back seax knives and the sheaths are old brown vynel from a old hot tub cover. They are all loose but I am going to find a way to make them more snug fitting and a snap fit strap for the ax. Thanks for the video
WOW! So satisfying wathing this :)
Nice build.I ever get some leather tools and supplies I may make me one.
*wow. Very nice*
Perfect..
Awesome
awesome
Nice!!!!!!!!!!
Nice project with the most famous spatula in KZhead :) try next time to use two needles for the stitching.
I thought I was the only one who found it odd that he only used one
Very nice job..i like it..
After watching your video I decided not to make an axe sheath since there's no way I can make something that good.
Very nice. thank you..
LIKE A BOSS
Super
oooo. muito bomm meu amigo, parabens
Bravo ❤😍🤝
Thanks perfect video, making exactly the same one for my wife's hatchet unrestored for her.....
Nice
Yo siempre coso con dos agujas cruzadas, queda mucho más fuerte. Pero te ha quedado muy bonita 👍
Neat!
Nicely done. How about making a grip too?
This is the only channel that I don't skip through the videos to find the good parts
You are the beste im from moroco ❤❤❤
nice leather cover minimal tools needed
Wow well don
Nais👍
Muito bom.
A wooden handle would be so much more elegant, however I saw you forge that handle yourself so I know that's your style.
Vc é o cara
Молодец! Хорошая работа.
Wow that's an awesome hatchet. Where did you find one with such a handle?
приятно смотреть когда человек понимает что он делает, а не творит какую-то фигню на манер а сделаю вот так и посмотрю чё получится, авось прокатит
Getting started in some leatherwork...I have watched this video several times. It's been a great help. BTW, What contact adhesive do you use?
I cannot find that adhesive anywhere ! Maybe a different contact cement would work. IDK.
اول لايك
Technique :)
I kiff it😏
Is there a certain type of string/thread you would recommend using if I were to try a design like this at home?
Que buen pulso
Bravo Zulu
Very nice sheath, where did you find the beveler you used in this video.
I made a wallet at a craft place the other day and it turned out awful. You make this look so easy and I am going to give it a go! One question... What weight of Leather did you use? I couldn't find that info anywhere.
What kind of leather? If it was chrome tanned do you have to worry about it contacting with the metal for extended periods of time?
How thick should the leather be?
👍👌👏💖
Beautiful. What type of leather did you use?
Some find it easier to set the snaps before gluing and stitching, but well done nonetheless.

"It puts the lotion on it's skin" JK. nice work.;-)
