    Amazing leather project and a very concise and detailed explanation. Young people like yourself makes me believe that this generation has a fighting chance.

    Brad, I loved this. I've been researching how to do my own sheath and this was hands down the best video on the subject for those without lots of leather tools! Thank you.

  • @michaelpcooksey5096
    @michaelpcooksey5096 Год назад +4

    Brad, Just a word of caution .. you use the power sanders without any sort of mask protection. Leather does not dissolve in the lungs. Remember coal miners and black lung 'disease' from coal dust in their work environment and you get the idea. Leather dust from what I've researched can be very fine and hard to detect. Get a good mask with filter cans on the side. You can open the cans from time to time and see how much gunk they saved you from. This would also apply if you are hand sanding. It's a pain, but you are young and have a lot of leather crafting potential ahead ... Short term hobbyists [including retirees like myself] don't have to worry too much ... but even then ... a covid mask is better than nothing.

    • @dtom1642
      @dtom1642 5 месяцев назад +1

      I second this. I’m a wood carver. For a long time I was an “ehhh I’ll be fine” type of person when it came to sanding and not wearing masks. My lungs are fine, I think, but not wearing a mask absolutely annihilated my sinuses. It’s a slow progression so you don’t really notice it for a while at first but eventually it’ll get to the point where bloody noses are a regular occurrence and you get sinus infections anytime there is the slightest irritation to the sinuses. Allergies? Sinus infection. Cold? Sinus infection. Tiny bit a dust breathed in while cleaning? Sinus infection. Not fun.

    Amazing video! Thank you for sharing it! You are the first one I’ve seen who’s actually used epoxy to protect the threads as well as leave a drain port at the bottom. Right on for thinking of that. Maybe other folks do as well but I personally saw you do it here. And thank you for the easy music. My aging ears can’t do a whole lot of heavy music anymore. Lol. Stay young as long as you can. May your talents and your creativity take you far. God bless
