would just like to say thanks for the support and kind words πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» Really appreciated 😁

so!!! There has been a few mistakes along the way.... namely, do not ! Use the same brush for the dye your kid has just used for her paint πŸ€” the wee bugger is now groundedπŸ˜‰ lesson learned

it’s been a pleasure working through the mistakes and success’s each have there own lessons to learn , I won’t be drilling holes without my drill press again, almost knackered the sheath, am still unhappy about that! However I managed to pull it back drilling with a slight angle on the rest of the holes for the stitching, not perfect by any means, another lesson learned lol

dying the leather is also something I will be keeping in mind as I over dyed the sheath slightly, well maybe a little more than slightly πŸ˜‚ also! Leaving it alone after dying as I put two creases in the front panel, slightly right enough but there there.

marking the leather with the clamps when gluing was a right kick in the chook’s when I realised πŸ‘Ž should have known better


looking forward to the next one πŸ‘πŸ»
