It was a pleasure to watch a true craftsman . Thank you
Thanks David,
Atb Bruce
Mack is going to be blown away when he sees this. What a job, Bruce. Excellent vid too. Keep on keeping on.
+Dale Skidmore I think he did a sex wee when he saw the pics
I bet he did. I put wet sheath in the search and was amazed....

Lots of work but looks beautiful. For all of you esthetically challenged or simply more practical people there, PVC pipe is your friend.
excellent work, great design with nice decorative touches. you are a master craftsman. thank you for the inspiration.
I have got to give you credit . You are a master at your leather crafting . Great video.
This was one of the most fascinating and educational videos I have seen in a long time. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Thomas, I really appreciate your comment , I need to get into my workshop and get some more of this style vid done
thanks for watching ,Bruce
Nice work, thanks for the tips and design ideas.
I will likely put a finger-slot window, so the blade can be drawn up with one hand.
And make the bottom of the handle slot a bit wider around for easier removal
Wow! And wow! Great job
Thanks Dave 👍👍
Terrific job. Very enjoyable and learned a few things and gained the confidence to do them as well. Thanks man.
thanks for watching
Thank you for tips on sheathing. Found an old Hoosier type axe head full of rust and pits, restored it to a high shine and now,I want to protect it from the elements and traveled bumps. You are the best. Thanks🇨🇦👍🍺
Old steel is always the best, good luck with the project
Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Keith, I hope you and yours are well
Atb Bruce
I am impressed with your freehand artistic abilities.

Atb Bruce

You say thanks for watching I say thanks for teaching...👍👍👍
Thanks , Im just learning this myself too , I take you guys along for the ride ....sometimes is good sometimes its bad. but if it motivates you to try too, thats awesome

Bruce
Thank you, excellent video.
A friend has asked me to make an axe sheath for him and you have given me some very useful ideas; Cheers.
Thanks Paul, Great to hear, I would love to see what you come up with

You said you'd like to see the axe sheath that I ended up making for my mate;
Here it is....

Many Blessings
Great stuff, just found the video you did paul, thanks for the mention 👍👍
Good job 👍, I'm going to try to make one of these, thx 🙏
Exquisite craftsmanship.
Very Nice. Much to learn, much to learn! Thank You.
That turned out very nice. I have a small camp hatcher that i have had since i was a small child. So that would be at least 45 years old. I vaguely remember it having a sheath and it being worn and falling apart. So watching this video has shown me the steps needed to make myself a sheath.
Thank you.
::SUBBED::
+Buford McNairy great stuff, I'm really happy that it motivated you to make your own.
Thanks for watching
Atb Bruce
Yes Bro your works motivate me a lot.. God bless you
Good video! Glad that (unlike SO many others) you were able to utilize fast forward.
+Fat Oldman, yeah I prefer to do it like that just to give people an idea of what's involved . With a build there are plenty of vids out there to get more details on each step, better then 5 hours of film. Lol
Thanks for watching
Atb Bruce
Thanks for watching
Not sure about the "community" but for me you got between 10 seconds and 8 minutes to capture and hold my attention. Next? Shiny, shiny.....
You've proven that its possible to pack lots of good info into a watchable segment.
Keep up the good work!
+Fat Oldman Yeah it's so true, 10 mins is kinda maximum length for a video before people start skipping or turn off, but with a vid like this it would be a waste of time doing it in 3 or 4 parts,.. The videos I do have a pretty low demographic (bushcraft and leather work) so I'm not in this to be a RUclips superstar. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.. I will try and make more vids like this
Atb Bruce
totally agree with fatman , and thankx for an insightful video lesson [might have to watch a few times when i start the project for a billhook using your principles]
Well done sir. The sheath and the video are top notch.
thanks for the comment , Ill make more vids like this
atb Bruce
Well, I bloody love that sheath. If I ever get around to leatherwork, I'm going to do something similar for my own axe. Definitely.
Thanks Jessie , with your spoon carving skills you should have no problem crossing over to leather work. it just takes patients , planning and a bit of artistic flare
thanks for watching brother
Great design of sheath, that's another thing to add to my "to do list". Cheers, Jim
Greate stuff , thanks for watching Jim
atb Bruce
A lot of time went into that. Great job.
It was about a 6 hour build, just doing bits here and there,
Atb Bruce
Nice work man, thanks for showing how to wet mold an axe sheath :)
absolutely beautiful work.
Heavy duty custom made by you! Thank you.
beautiful job. great video.
Great vid, Mack is a lucky man, thanks for sharing, great skills atb mike
Thanks Mike, glad you liked it
Atb Bruce
Very nicely done! Thank you for sharing.
Harley Rider thanks for watching buddy,
Atb Bruce
that is really a well finished axe sheath..i learned a lot. thanks and keep up the good work.
I just randomly stumbled across your video, great work! I enjoyed watching. I always wondered how leather was formed around different objects. I wish you would have talked a bit more about the tools you used and how/ what you soaked the leather in. Thanks again!
This is a really nice design!!!! I have a couple of single bits that would look darn good with those sheath’s!!! When you where flipping the cover piece over and back before you cut your sharp to match…I was thinking that I liked the look of that folded flap being straight???? You could probably actually make a little wallet for the inside as a series of flaps with a zipper across there??? Would be kinda cool when you were going to the woods you would have your wallet and your cards and cash in the old axe sheath!!! This is a freaking fantastic video buddy!!!!
I love the wallet idea, good luck with your build,
Atb Bruce
thank you for sharing your knowledge, from Taiwan.
Good job Bruce .
Great job mate, i will make a sheath for my machete following your instructional video
+francesco migliore thanks for watching, glad you found it useful
Much appreciated, and thanx for the speedup.

Thanks buddy, I really need to get back to making some stuff, its very therapeutic,
Best regards
Bruce
Wow excellent work and great video.
What a job'' came out great , lots of work but it payed off wonderful.
Nice. Thanks from North Catolina.
Super video :) Thank you for advice on how to shape the leather :)
thanks for watching Jano .
atb Bruce
Blimey Bruce, a simple axe edge cover was what i asking if you could do mate.
That's a stunning bit of work mate.!
Thanks ever so much mate, I will have at some point get you back mate.
I am gob smacked mate, and that's not easy to do mate.
Thanks again mate, much appreciated it will see a great deal of use mate. Regards Mack .
+mack tightwad , I think we will be fighting the "Ill get you back for that" war for the rest of eternity.
atb Bruce
Brilliant video Bruce. Well filmed and extremely informative. Thanks for sharing. Atb, Mick
Thanks Mick, it was a pig to film as I kept going out of shot, and it was 5 hours of footage to edit
Atb Bruce
Effort was worth it I think from a viewer's perspective! Well done and I look forward to the next one. Cheers, Mick
That was so Awesome I have never see leather work done like that Great Job wish you were in the States I'd have you make a couple for me.
+Michael Gilbreath thanks dude, I'm sure any leather crafter in the states could copy it, or even improve on it,
Thank you for watching
Atb Bruce
Cool video! Well done!
Thank you, I need to find the time to do more
atb Bruce
Really like that Bruce excellent work

Great video, thanks for sharing! You make it look easy, but I'm sure it isn't!
Well worth doing and enjoyable vid there Bruce... Really enjoyed that ...
+DustyPilgrim1 It was great fun to make and even more fun editing 5 hours of footage HAHA

+willem janssen thanks you for watching, I'm happy you found it useful
Atb Bruce
Wow that's a masterpiece awesome video
thanks buddy, im still learning to be honest, thanks for watching
atb Bruce
quality work Bruce thanks for the vid
Eine sehr schöne Arbeit für Anfänger.
Nice job, nice pattern.
Very impressed Bruce that's a very good piece of leather work and I enjoyed the video don't think I would have the patience to do that......All the best Dog
+Dog soldier its quite therapeutic to keep you mind active while listening to music or just watching TV . Its really not that difficult if you plan it out with bits of card first
Super nice! Looks like I'll have to break out the ol' tools.
Thanks buddy, would be great if you could get motivated from watching one of my videos,
Atb Bruce
Wow, very nicely done!
+Outdoor Archives thanks for watching, glad you like it,
Atb Bruce
Very nice work.
That is super. I may have to make one of those now. loved the colors and art too. Well done Bruce
Thanks Bruce, can't wait to see your version
Atb Bruce
would be sweet to see a sharpening stone pouch integrated to that axe sheath
Very informative! Thank you !🙂
thank you ,
atb Bruce
In the Fire Department when we fight forest fires we aren’t allowed to walk around with a live edge on an Axe. So what some of us did was to make a Aluminum cup just a little bigger than the Axe head and 5 inches deep so when we didn’t need the Axe we just drop it head first into that cup and presto, Axe is protected and it’s close to hand if you need it. When your done for the day, put that form fitting cover on.
Just watched, great information mate. Thanks 👍🇦🇺🍺
That is a proper Bushcraft leather Axe Sheath.
Thanks buddy , im glad you like it
thanks for watching
Very impressive !!
Very nice. Red thread would have looked good, too.
Yeah good idea, I was just working with what i had at the time. Ill have to order some . thanks for the comment
atb Bruce
I like that, good result.
thanks Matt ,
nice project! great video! good work!
Im so happy that people like it, i need to make another one
atb Bruce
brilliant stuff i wasnt even tempted to skip at all, total love fest going on for the axe sheath, want one, didnt know i wanted one till i saw it hahahah really great work dear boy
+Colonelchimp, Bushcraft, Survival and Prepping Thank you young master Dave, its about time you covered your chopper up
Big Hugs, Bruce
nice
Very talented.
+Matt McLean thanks dude, I'm still learning
Nice work Bruce.....
May have been mentioned before but I wet leather to do the tooling. A spurge and a heavy bowl with water makes it easy to dampen as much as you need to when ever necessary.
very good...congratulations!
Great vid...great idea.
Thank you , and thank you for watching too
atb Bruce
Outstanding leather works, and great video. However, that music, and for that long video ...
thanks, Im happy you like the vid , Its really hard to find free music that goes on for long enough without getting irritating.
Atb Bruce
I like. I didn't when I first saw it, one similar to it came with my tomahawk from Simply Rugged Holsters that I wasn't happy with. It was good work, I just didn't like that hang. But watching you make this made me like it, I may try to mimic it but with a hang I like. Thanks for the cool video!
Wow, hiding that knot between the pieces beside the welt is awesome!
Thanks for watching, Im glad you enjoyed it and found it useful
Atb Bruce
Beautiful work bro.
thanks for the comment , glad you like it
atb Bruce
I have been thinking on something like this for a while. I am a carpenter by trade, and I would love to carry my axe on my belt. Problem is, I dont like having the mask and the loop being separate, so I was thinking something like what you made. Might have to add a couple of pockets on the outside for essential items... :D
Great Idea, would be handy to have a small sharpening stone in it
thanks for watching, Atb Bruce
nice work! like it!!!!!
I know this is an older video, and a rather different side of the leatherworking hobby, so you likely won't answer this, but do know whether I would be able to form a mask with 3 mm thick leather, It's the only piece I have and I can't find any sources for whether or not it would work.
thank you.
3mm is a little thick, however you could get a skiving knife and thin it down in the areas you want to wet form.
I'm always happy to answer questions
Atb Bruce
@@WildGingerBruce thank you, this helps a lot
When you were forming the sheath, just before putting it in the oven, were you applying just water to the leather? Also, could you tell me what type of "wax" block you were using? Thanks ... Joey
You seem to work much the same way as I do, organised chaos. Though I noticed you tool your leather dry. Is there a reason for this? I found I get much better/ smoother marks when wet.Love your work. Looking forward to seeing more
somehow missed this one mate! nice job!!!!
Most axes have a sort of knob on the handle end. I noticed that you molded the leather to fit around the upper handle. How do you allow for the difference in the girth of the knob?
if you look at the final images the sheath is not stitched along the bottom so it kinda opens up as you slide in the handle, i also added a rivet so the whole axe cant fall out
thanks for watching
atb Bruce
Excelente. Altamente profissional. Parabéns. (Romeu - Brasil)
Great Job, man.
Nicely Done my friend, enjoyed this video so much I subbed you.
Thanks again and have a blessed week.
+Heartland Dual Sport great stuff, I'm glad you like it, thanks for watching,
Atb Bruce
Nice sheath! just a thought but maybe put a popper button(for got the name of it) on the flap and on the part that connects to the belt so the axe can easily be put into the sheath with out fiddling around? hope that made sense haha
+Tyon Moylette, yeah I like that idea thanks buddy
Atb Bruce
Awesome job, very nice indeed! :-)
