Check out my channel for the full-length video where I also make a custom sheath. #leather #handmade #leathercraftsmanship #diy #knife </video> <video> Restoring a Vintage Western Knife and Making a Leather Sheath Description: In this leather craft video, I restore a vintage Western Cutlery fixed-blade hunting knife. It was in rough shape and in need of restoration, but I cleaned it up and gave it a new sheath. The leather washers in the handle were dry-rotted, so they had to be replaced. This involved drilling out pins and removing the pommel. I used G10 for the orange and white outer spacers. Fortunately, the blade wasn't quite as bad on this knife as it has been on previous restorations; It just needed a little polishing. So I guess this video is equal parts metal work, restoration, and leathercraft. The wood piece is made up of maple, cherry, and eucalyptus. The whole sheath is sewn together with sterling silver jewelry wire. Not sure what steel this is made of, but it took a keen edge! follow me on instagram @roadagentleather For those interested in the tools I use in this video, below is an affiliate link to my Amazon store : https://www.amazon.com/shop/roadagentleather/list/2HPYAZBAHAS1E?

I made a different set of grips with a matching concho just so they wouldn't be the exact same as the previous video. A deceptively simple basketweave leather 1911 holster with a single retention device: The toe plug includes a stack of powerful neodymium magnets! As you can see in the video, the retention worked a bit too good and I had to make a modification for it to work.

Description: I made a video on this spare cylinder holster / carry pouch years ago. A pattern of my own design, this is the upgraded 'deluxe' version complete with full lining and silver strap ends. A perfect leather accessory for black powder shooting. I can keep a pre-loaded cylinder for my 1860 Army or 1851 Navy cap & ball revolvers handy for a quick reload!

It was in really rough shape and in need of restoration, but I cleaned it up and gave it a new sheath; complete with storage for a knife sharpener. The leather washers in the handle were deteriorated, so they had to be replaced. This involved grinding the tang to remove the pommel. Then rebuilding the leather handle complete with finger grooves. This video is equal parts metal work, restoration, and leathercraft. follow me on instagram @roadagentleather For those interested in the tools I use in this video, below is an affiliate link to my Amazon store : https://www.amazon.com/shop/roadagentleather/list/2HPYAZBAHAS1E?

This time resurrecting a vintage CS Osborne draw gauge that looks like it was dug up from under a barn after spending a few decades under the ground. I got it to work, and the blade took a good cutting edge, but still prefer my wood strap cutter. The only reason I was interested in it was to see if it could use the inexpensive bulk razor blades I always have on hand (It does). follow me on instagram @roadagentleather For those interested in the tools I use in this video, below is an affiliate link to my Amazon store : https://www.amazon.com/shop/roadagentleather/list/2HPYAZBAHAS1E?

I had to modify a couple of my stamps to do it. I'm stocking up my eBay site with some custom leather 1911 grips (search for seller "chakotay98" if interested -- it's an old seller profile that pre-dates the Road Agent moniker). The related video: https://youtu.be/Wb1qTCpv2b0 </video> <video> Making a little sheath for a little knife. Restoration and Leathercraft ASMR. Description: Another eBay find, and another "tackle box knife". In this leather craft video I restore this 1930's era Jean Case Cutlery Little Valley fixed-blade knife. Needless to say, it was in rough shape and in need of restoration, but I cleaned it up and gave it a new sheath. The leather washers in the handle were deteriorated, so they had to be replaced. This involved drilling out the pin and removing the pommel. So I guess this video is equal parts metal work, restoration, and leathercraft.

My original was pretty trashed having been worn for over a decade while doing everything from camping, mountain biking, fishing, being dunked into the river and ocean.

I needed to make a prop "blue gun" to make the pattern and to ensure a proper fit. So I 3D printed one, along a new maker's mark. Extra thanks to Elegoo for sending me their Saturn 4 Ultra 3D printer and Mercury XS cleaning /curing combo to try out! #elegoo For those interested in a more detailed explanation on how I made the 3D models for the stamp, check out my previous video here (this is also linked in the video): https://youtu.be/0e45BfmwJqE Stamps used in this video: Craftool 701003 Craftool Z781 Craftool S864 Hide Crafter PU017 follow me on instagram #roadagentleather A link to my Amazon store!: https://www.amazon.com/shop/roadagentleather/list/2HPYAZBAHAS1E?

Problem was it was dyed electric metallic blue (my Instagram followers will know the project I'm referring to!) Luckily, stingray is all the same color underneath! Just takes some grinding and polishing to get to it. Add some kangaroo hide leather left over from my bull whip project and I have a fancy card wallet! I debated painting the edges. But the denticles made an interesting 'salt and pepper' effect, so I left them as-is. The pattern is available on my Etsy page! follow me on instagram @roadagentleather </video> <video> Engraving (and Destroying) metal conchos with Omtech's 30W MOPA fiber Laser Description: In this leather working video I make a deluxe fur-lined holster complete with a custom monogramed concho engraved using Omtech's 30W MOPA fiber laser.

It was in rough shape and in need of restoration (just the way I like my knives!). I cleaned it up and gave it a new sheath. The leather washers in the handle were deteriorated, so they had to be replaced. For a little bit of extra flair, I also added some G10 and brass spacers.

I used it to scratch-build custom leather grip panels from wood and leather for my Rock Island Armory 1911. Unfortunately, I only had one stingray hide to make a grip panel with. I'll need to buy another. I WAS able to make a complete set of the tooled veg-tan leather grips -- which was my original intent anyway, along with a matching tooled holster. Stay tuned for that video! Anyway, my honest opinion is the WeCreat Vision is an excellent laser. I think of it as a more compact, diode version of my xTool P2. If you're doing leather work for a business or side hustle and need a machine to increase your production (or just the precision of your cuts) I would definitely recommend it! I'll be keeping this one tucked in a corner of my shop.... It's getting crowded in there! btw, I especially like the smoke/fume extractor; I'll be using it on every machine I run from here out.
