This course is designed to guide you through the process of sheath making. We will be making a custom sheath for your individual kitchen knife. This course covers templating, cutting leather, glue up, punching stitching holes, saddle stitching, fitting snap fasteners, bevelling & edging finishes. It takes place in my home during the winter months with a woodturner going to keep us toasty. I will provide vegetable soup and bread for lunch and plenty of tea or coffee. All you need to bring is the knife you'd like to make a sheath for.
I've been making and selling leather goods for over 6 years. It's an incredibly useful skill and I really enjoy sharing the process. This course cover a lot of the skills required to go away and take on other leather making projects.
