- Build along with me, or just hang out and watch the process. Today I am making a custom knife sheath on the fly. This is a mostly unedited view of making a thing. Please let me know what you think of it in the comment section!

Fairbairn-Sykes - the classic commando knife from WWII
That's it! Yes! They are SO COOL
NERD ALERT 🤓🤣
Not quite, the guard is a little too round for the classic WWII dagger 😉
Enjoy the video and project. This video feels more like a hangout more personal 👍🏻
Currently about 2/3 thru and it’s kinda soothing. Like a hang out chat where I don’t have to 100% pay attention but still get a lot out of it. So if you want to keep doing this style, I don’t hate it. ❤😂
Madi's smile when she saw the knives was the best
Loving the format even if it came out of a mistake!
It is lower energy, but I think it helps ground all the effort you do on these builds to see the whole process.
Full DIY plate armor when?
This reminds me of one of Adam Savage's build videos over on Tested. Which means you must be doing something right.
😍 100% what I was going for. Adam is a hero of mine for sure, lol.
@@SkillTree I think that Adam is more of a hero to ALL of us...and even his video on the Perfect Grade Unleashed RX-78-2 Gundam kit dumped me down that rabbit hole for a while now
Video was very good, I would have done the following at min 11. taking the heated plastic, starting at the crossgard wrapped twine around the plastic and blade to 1) secure it in place, 2) add a small thurmal barrier from where the heatgun is heating.
love this type of uncut content
I really enjoyed this episode, seeing and hearing the thought process was cool and educational. Stuff I hasn't thought of. Sooper cool. Thanks
Had this going in the background while playing games and felt like a really chill gaming session! I hope this preforms well cause I really enjoy these!
That masking tape trick blew my mind it makes so much sense for sheath making...maybe I just need to drink while I craft...open my mind and such
Watching this to wind down for bed :) the ol’ adhd has not been letting me sleep well recently but listening to you calmly crafting is making me sleepy lol
Dash it all; I missed another live stream by mere minutes. Watching the replay is fine, but I would have loved to watch it as it was happening. Edit: Nevermind, I was confused by the title. This wasn't a live stream, so I guess I feel a little better (but a livestream of a build could be a glorious opportunity for disaster and fun).
Love the video! While I do prefer the normal style, it's nice to have the longer form, end to end style of this too. Felt more personal and relaxed. Also, Maddy's face when she opened the knives was adorable. Full "Happy Murder Crow" vibes. Everyone needs a Maddy in their lives.
This is awesome it really felt like I could have been sitting on the other side of the table trying to do it with you.
One of the local gamestores is also heavily into the costuming/cosplay side of things, their big suggestion for getting into thermoplastics is to get your hands on a pair of the ove gloves or similar, works great to keep your hands safe from any accidents and comfortable. There's also the little bit of cut resistance they add to your hands (though just because they're thicker woven gloves rather than any intentional thing there) is also good for working with things there.
Also, for knives and daggers, you can use a 3 layer leather build. Top, welt, and bottom piece. The welt is just a rim around the edges that provides an opening for your blade to slide into while the others face out and add a surface you can tool for the outside of it
Awesome stuff as always!
A tip if Kydex is not an option you can make liner in raw hide. It's a bit more involved but works great as knife sheets/liner (I have used rawhide from dog chew bones from 100% ox or pig hide)
Really enjoy this format. The whole "stream of consciousness" vibe going on.
Me too
I enjoy all your videos. Like your regular style but would love for you to do this again. Kind of a look into your process. Thanks for all your hard work. You have inspired my son and myself in a lot of our leather working endeavors.
Do you have a harbor freight there? I bought a bunch of their magnetic strips and mounted a couple under my workbench so I just have to reach down to grab my scissors or other leather working tools. I even added a metal plate to my tooling tool case I made and just popped them onto the magnetic bar. Just a tip to keep things handy and organized. 😊
I LIKE this idea. I am cleaning/organizing the workshop tonight. I may have to do this as well! Thanks for the tip!
I really like this style of video. Getting to see the full creative process is great. As others have said, it's very "Bob Ross" like but instead of awesome paintings it's awesome projects. Keep up the great work you're an awesome creator and an inspiration.
Very Bob Ross vibes when working on forming the kydex.
I dont like change, but good god I love this so much please do more of this!
Good lord, the face of madi (hope I got that right) saying I have knives is instant nightmare fuel. The format is cool and seeing just the passion and love for the craft was cool. Weird without music but that's no a big deal breaker. Wishing you many fun with both your instruments of the knives and tree
Great video do more like this, like the Bob Ross feel to it.
You got enough footage for a bloopers reel ?
Really liked the style of this video. Loved watching how you planned and executed the the design
I love when Kit smacked Maddie’s hand and the response was “don’t hit me!” And almost reaching for one of her knives. 😂
Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there you rock
No no no... YOU rock! Thanks for watching!
It's really cool to see you geek out in these videos. It really shows how passionate you are in your videos.
Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting knives are world class in their style, Good Choice. Best sheaths for a future build would be a dual small of the back flat sheath would lend to concealed carry under a cloak or garment. Excellent works of art and lethalness on both gifts
No intro music? :( You guys were stressed, it happens. NGL Skill tree is my favorite youtube channel (and my wife has one.) Also did you mean to call scissors knives?
THANK YOU! And what is her YT chennel, if you care to share. I will happily support! Also, yeah, I finished editing it about an hour b4 it posted, lol. The build STARTED last night at 8pm😅
The Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife is a twentieth century invention, but I believe that any medieval fighter would thoroughly approve of it.
(Comment made while you’re still taping up the blade. I’ll probably have more to say after watching the whole video.)
EDIT: The knives are scary and the sword is awesome. Expecting cutting tests and stuff soon. Also, what, no closeups? Show off that craftsmanship!
Fairbairn ... basically Scottish for "pretty child"
the 'child' part (bairn) is pronounced as if your referring to an ursine creature
black, brown or polar... your choice... just stick an 'n' on the end of 🐻
sometimes it transmogrifies into something approximating 'burn' 🔥⚕
I dont know if you already happen to watch Alec Steele or not Cl3ver, but I heartily recommend checking out his kydex video :D he actually custom made a sykes like that and then took it to a professional kydex sheath maker's shop and did a tour of the process "How Its Made" style
Definitely worth a watch for future sheath projects :)
Edit: Just found a kydex press making video from Blue Collar Outdoors, so that may be helpful too :) (eventually I wanna try it out once I have a knife in need of a sheath)
And the robe of useful items would have had that pencil you needed 😜
Great video! It's pronounced Kai-Dex. Like Cobra Kai, and DEX (like... roll for a DEX check).
Having given myself my worst self inflicted injury trying to put a knife backbin a sheath without paying attention, i cringed when you pulled the knife out and hit the tables with the butt...i was like "did he"....then saw you licking your hand "off camera"...yup lol. 😊
Best quote string ever!
"I have a sword!"
"I have KNIVES!"
"Oh, this is the worst thing you could have done..."
😂
Love your videos!! Love this format feels very much like Adam Savage!! Love him too and hope you do more of this sometimes. Maybe you can just release your build video and ramble as you work after the cool cleaned up versions that are great!!! Keep it up, directing you are going is grate!!
I have not worked with Tyvek, but I've seen it on the youtubes elsewhere, and the most common technique I've seen is to soften two pieces and then use binder clips to hold them together along the edge of the blade/gun/cellphone. Cool, trim the flashing, then wrap the two halves together in leather/cloth/whatever, or rivet through the flashing for a more modern look.
I'm not sure if that's easier or will yield better results than your "melt and wrap" technique, but it might be worth exploring. I've also seen the same technique used to mold veg-tan tightly over a form.
You know, I have a feeling you talk this way during projects even if you're not filming... Lol it's ok, I do too. I call it an interesting conversation with an interesting person lol.
I think, technically, that's a scabbard?
Iirc, if it has a rigid core, like one made from wood, it's a scabbard, if it doesn't, then it's a sheath.
If a pen is mightier than a sword, then a pencil is mightier than a dagger? Well worth your kingdom?
Love the idea dont have time to watch all sorry hope comments help the algors rythem BTW working on a Gothic medical take on bag of exorbitant expansion
Another awesome video, currently watching with my family can't wait to see Madi's reaction at the end🤘😁🤘
If you didn't want to use thermoplastic or wood, is there a weight of leather that you could use to wet form mold it and harden it in the oven?
ETA- oooh, I also wonder if you could use horn instead of plastic since it works the same way!
Another thought sorry but my brain goes problem solving sometimes, if Maddie is going to be carrying these as a fighter or Assasin make the sheath ride at an angle over her hips for dual cross draw.
25:45 Please be careful with knives. They're for show but they're still sharp.
I didn't think I would watch the whole video, then I ended up watching the whole video. So I liked it.
Also, please no chair for Maddie, especially if she's going to get that happy over something because she just needs to bounce😂
Me I would add a folded piece of sheet metal around the tip between the leather and plastic for safety and it would add balance weight to it to help keep it pointing down. And with forming the plastic next time use a old toaster oven than to shape it around something use two pieces of silicone rubber sheets thick enough for the part and two pieces of strong plywood and some weights or fast clamps to hold it together when it cools. You could wire wrap it too
15:15 you just need the tip, just for a second, to see how it feels 😂 😂
If you were more softly spoken this would be an amazing second channel for asmr.
Very nice!!! Great job! Maddy will love it. This is timely because my spouse has asked me to make a custom sheath for an old buffalo skinner of his.
Excellent video. i would like to see more of this kind in future projects well done.
I have enjoyed all of your vids but this was something else. It was by far myfavrite. Thank you
I would have sprayed the blade with cooking spray to make it release easier.
You should totally put your edge slicker in your drill and it would make it so much better to work with the leather lol
Kydex is easiest the form as an oversized sheet, folded over from one edge to the other, then trim and pin it shut with hammered grommets.
About the name of daggers, they are called Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knives. They were developed during WW2 and became famous since they were used by all sorts of special force units (SAS, commandos, paratroopers, etc).
Yes! Thank you! They are so badass!
Please welder gloves my man it’s so easy to burn yourself with heat guns !
You should look into making clear ice cubes. That thing floating around in your drink stresses me out, lookin like a urinal puck
1. yes it's Ky-dex; 2. this was really cool and I loved it
15 minutes in - would clamps help with the forming like keeping the kydex from sliding as you do the spot-work?
100% I'll be damned though if I could find a single one of my spring clamps b4 starting 😅
Absolutely the same thing here! I have a tool box dedicated JUST to spring clamps and bar clamps.
...
Where it actually is, I have no idea...
This video reminds me of Bob Ross videos i used to watch as a kid. "No mistakes, just happy little accidents *reaches for the knife*" XD
I tend to think more of Adam Savages One Day Builds on Tested
extremely interesting/fun watching you work through it
candles and glue don't mix just sayn, great job
Kydex is a fun medium to work with. A closed cell foam press would help you a lot. I have made dozens of sheaths and its fun to have a useful thing at the end.
That was super chill. I loved it!
You should look him up. He has an amazing story.
I'm old.. what is asmr meaning
I had to look it up too, lol. I knew WHAT it was but not what it actually stood for. Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It is a relaxing tingling sensation that you get when listening to a video and hearing the sounds in it. Usually more relaxing stuff than what I am doing, like whispering or the sound of pages in a book being turned. I for sure was not doing ASMR here tho😂
Uh oh - warped your cutting mat.
First Hallo Clever
Nooo not the sewing maching 😱
I KNOW!!!!!!! Though, it was my old singer unit, not the big ol leather siticher. It was time though. I have had that ine for AGES.
At this rate going overboard is your brand. Im watching you as I make my own gourd water bottle you’re on my tv and your bottle vid is on my cell.
Great build!! I really enjoyed that!
Need more videos in this type of format 😊
Should have wrapped the whole thing with the black leather butting the edges in the back before gluing the back piece on to lock all your edges down.
TRUTH! Great call
Really like this format! Drinks and crafts!!
✏....about that kingdom....👸
I see the way he is playing with the knife, and start thinking “he knows what he is doing, it can’t be that sharp if he’s playing with it like that.” Immediately cuts hand right afterwards.
Trust me, I sharpened them!
Nice to see the unedited footage
nil mortifi sine lucre
More of these please
Seems like I am the only person talking about this, really really love the video but WHERE IS THE GOD DAMN AWESOME MUSIC! xD No seriously really cool project of yours I enjoyed it!
Thanks!
ouch
Again, fast but not first! 😂
So close!
😂 one of these days!
I loved this version video. I have been binging your videos when I'm down . And just enjoy listening to you work. PS, see you soon at Reckoning!
The glee on Maddie's face when she holds the knives... Love it! (and yes, it may have been a mistake giving her those blades) Like! and Subscribe!
Loved this. It was very chill and also great to see a different presenting side to you too. Loved the way you said about it’s ok to make mistakes cause it’s how we learn. It was like watching Bob Ross but with leather x
This is so enjoyable! Watching you work calmly even seems to soothe my sore throat (and inspires me to do finally start some of the long term plans I had crafting-wise)
This format works really well especially from someone who is also with ADHD. and to see that the process takes some time is not just because of the magic of editing. Great job this one was really fun to watch and see what keeps coming down the pipe.❤
In the words of one old gas masked operator: "... a six inch blade never loses reception."
Yay, more clever time , time to sit back and enjoy!
That stuff can be a pain to work with if you're not totally set up for it like a press and oven to get the exact tep... I just started. But the end result is awesome...
Ill tell you right now that 2 halves of kydex wouldve been infinitely easier than one taco shell. Cut them 1/4" wider total, scuff the flanges, glue together, sand the edge to bring it to the final shape
Could ya’ll make a leather jacket sometime? I think that would be great.
scaring me million times you were gonna cut yourself pulling the knife out of the sheath a bunch
Love this! Murder Maddie is both scary and hilarious 💙🇦🇺
Do you need to worry about the heat ruining the temper of the blade?
Not generally. If you're holding the heat gun in place for some time it might upset the epoxy but not the temper.
@@firebrandproductions6040 Thanks for the information!
:D
