Great video! Looks like this foam is working well for you. Could you comment further on what and more importantly where you got it from? This would be much appreciated!
A friend of mine works for a large university and happened to come across some scraps for me and thought they may work. It is chilled water pipe insulation, it comes in different thicknesses and diameters so depending on the size of your press. If you have any additional questions let me know and thanks for watching!
have a question for you can you use the same technique to make axe sheaths i have a old hatchet/ hammer that goes just bout every where with me been tryin to figure out a sheath for it to heavy for leather streches it to much
So I don’t understand why people put the handle in the sheath? I like being able to grab the full handle and pull it out. Is there an upside to having most the handle in the sheath?
In the third video I have removed quite a bit of the sheath that enclosed the handle, some of the handle has to be inside the sheath to act as a catch point.
Scott Hutchinson yes I definitely was more referring to a lot of the leather “bushcraft” sheaths that a lot of people seem to be into these days. I love the design of yours, and the video. I just thought this was a good place to ask other knife loves their opinion, more then i was actually referencing your video. Have a great day, and thanks for posting
Sorry, could you tell me for what kind of PVC did you made it? I have big problem with it. My PVC (waste water pipe) is to much heat resistant and it defficult to form it.
We typically use sch 20 sewer drain pipe, some of the new pipe we got is a little thicker. The key is to heat it slow and thoroughly. What are you using to heat it up?
Awesome informative detailed video young Man! Exactly what I needed to make sheaths for some of the items I'm making!
the best set of videos I have seen on making knife sheaths out of pvc
Thank you very much Jeremy, I was worried that even though I know what I am doing I wouldn't do a good job of showing it or talking about.
Good job. 👍
to a prendendo muito com seus videos e melhorando cada vez mais as minhas bainhas abraço.
P.V.C Tático vc tá um mestre já tá dando muita dica bacana aq no br pra gente

Scott Hutchinson Thanks!
what rivets do you use?
Hey mate was the pipe in those colours when you bought it? All we have I Australia is orange electrical conduit and grey and white for water. Cheers
Here in the states it comes either white or that green color. The key is finding the thinnest walled pipe you can, schedule 20 is the best.
+Scott Hutchinson Ahhh no worries mate just wondered if it was painted or something special thanks mate. Great vid by the way.
+James M Thank you very much!
How much would you charge to make a sheathe or two? Maybe I can refer people to you?
And how did you get the pipe insulation to stay flat

Absolutely, I made one for my hatchet. It's basically a cover for the edge and I used elastic cord to secure it behind the hatchet head.
Thanks great videos also made my first sheath today
What size pipe insulation did you use in your press and what was the thickness? I am having a very hard time trying to find this. Thanks
It's 3/4" thick, if you Google search "chilled pipe insulation" you will find lots of options.
Pode ser com esopor? por que não consigo está espuma
