Gary that is the best looking knife sheath I have ever seen. I don't think I paid you nearly enough. It's perfect I left the design up to you and it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so very much. I'll be sending you a gift soon.
@@shermanbarnett6456 Very nice. One of the Ozarks finest. My prize is a 10" drop point Bowie from William Barminski / Loveland, Colorado. Awesome knife Sir and an awesome sheath to go with it.
Ive noticed that when someone is very good at something they can make it look easier than it really is. You couldn't find a better made one anywhere else. Thank you for sharing your talent again.
Wow amazing work as always. That beaver tail really looks nice. Really surprised they aren’t in higher demand considering the look. Another cool thing is the person receiving this can watch it being made. Very neat. 👍👍
Thank you! Beaver tail is really neat leather. The first time I ever saw it, or even heard of it, there was a guy here named Sid Williams that was tanning them. I'm not sure if he was the first or not, but I think he was? Sid passed away quite awhile ago now, but since then, I've seen other beaver tail stuff. Sid taught his Nephew, or maybe Son in Law, I'm not sure which to do it also. I kinda figured out how, but mine are not near as nice as theirs. I like it that they can watch it being made too. It's fun for both of us!
I LIKE IT! A LOT! Its one of them things thats over the top in its subtlety. Not obnoxious, yet "mountain flashy". Somethin a feller might lose his hair over in days gone by, if ya know what I mean. Ya done good! Take er easy!
That was very informative and I really enjoyed watching you make this sheath. It turned out amazing! Love the beavertail wrap and fringes. Very good leatherwork and the knife and sheath is a mountain man's dream knife and sheath. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin
Good mornin Gary, I'm kinda speechless. What a beautiful piece of art. You truly are a master. Thanks for the education and the opportunity to watch you work. Many blessings
Good morning Gary. Thx for sharing your knowledge. That sheath looks great! It's really interesting watching you work leather. You folks have a good day.
Gary, the fringe is essential. What does it do? The purpose of the fringe is to wick water away from the leather for drying. About 90% of the clothing of the natives and long hunters was made of leather. Having fringe in places would dry the leather much faster. You would see it on the sleeves where they kept their long guns inside.
Very true. Now days though it's just for show. I've been seeing a lot of ladies purses with really long fringe lately. I like the way it looks, but some are so long, it looks like it would catch on stuff.
I'm gonna punch some holes in some scraps and try that braid. It's just so beautiful. I must try at least. Heck what else is a better use of my time than learning. Thanks Teach !!!!
Good! Give it a try! It really isn't hard to do as long as your holes are big enough. You will have to go through each hole twice. If you get stumped, email me and I'll try to help out. muskrat14@hotmail.com
That does look cool. I have a few i need to do as well here. Heck I have a few knife projects to start as well. For me i never do two the same. Im wierd that way with such. Not too long ago a revealed the largest possible pouch I've ever done. When done a full length.54 flintlock Kentucky pistol holstered inside, and leaves room for all my possibles for both the said flinter, and my Jaeger. Mountain man Saddle shop ??? A gourd horn vaquero with a seat big enough fit my fat kester, and herniated gut?
Thank you! None of mine are exactly the same either really. Unless it's a matched set. I could do a saddle like that. That's actually the kind I like to make! Material costs have gone up quite a bit, what hasn't I guess.....
@@MuskratOutdoors I'd love such a Saddle however that at this point is an old man's pipe dream. As I don't own horses anymore, and don't have the back to sit a Saddle for very long. Though it would be cool to get into my stuff for show now and then. Even the scabbard that diffenantly on the wish list would be attachable to my 4whl mule
That is awesome the beaver tail one is looking good! You may as well forget about mine sir, I can’t afford it right now anyway, the bags have gotten harder ! Someday I will do it! 👀✝️🏕️🏡😂⛪️🦌🛻🦃👴
Good morning again Gary. I really like how the sheath turned out 👍👍👍. Are you as busy as you want to be with your leather work? I ever get tore up by a grizzly I'll look you up to get sewed up😂. Take care.🇺🇲🔥🌲🔪
That looks really good! I wonder if a tiny drill press and a fence plate on your table wouldn't be helpful but thats the toolmaker in me. Cindy(mine) says she wants to send ya a thimble, lol. Tell Cindy(yours) to quit rippin up the yard out there while your tryin to film a video, damn it. (Lol, must've been race night)
Ha! It was race car night! Loud, ain't they? It was the last race of the year though, so it should quite down some. A drill press would probably help. I got one crooked stitch, but easier with the drill than an awl. Cindy's are great ain't they? I'm glad you got one too! Ha!
Hello Gary, Happy Thanksgiving!!! I have a question??? I noticed you are only applying the contact cement to one surface. Are you letting it dry before you put the two parts together? I'm making a sheath for a Bowie I put a handle on and wanted to use some of your talent if you are okay with that? I wont be putting the 4 strand edge though because I don't have neither the talent or strength in my hands.
Good morning! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving too! No, I just paint it on and stick it together usually. It helps to let it dry a little, but mostly I don't. I hope it turns out great! I'd love to see pictures when it's done.
@@MuskratOutdoors I'm gonna give it a try like you do Gary. I've only used a Welt in a couple sheaths because of how hard it was to punch through all 3 layers. Because in all these years I've never thought of drilling the holes. I'm not a Knife maker. I'm a Knife handle maker. LOL But I will be making a video to give it away to one of my RUclips friends. Thanks for your time Gary. I appreciate it very much.
Right now, I'm so far behind I can't take any more orders. I'm hoping to get caught up enough to either do that, or put some stuff up for sale. Hopefully this Winter.....
Hmmmm....I'll have to look. Ya lost me! Ha! OH!!!! THE BUMPER STICKER! HAHAHA! It's a magnet joke sticker! I bought 2 of those! The other one, I put on a friend's car when she left to go back to Loisiana! She didn't find it until she got home!!! I asked her "Did anyone honk".......she said "No....Damn it!" HAhahahaha!!!!!
Gary that is the best looking knife sheath I have ever seen. I don't think I paid you nearly enough. It's perfect I left the design up to you and it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so very much. I'll be sending you a gift soon.
Lucky guy!thats nice!
Great!!! I'm glad you like it! I'll try to get it mailed off to you in the next few days. How much is the knife worth so I can insure it?
May I ask who the Knife maker is?
@@kevinkline6835 it's a Francis Kurk

Thank you very much! It took awhile, but I like the way it turned out.
Wow, Gary you were right. It turned out great. Looks like an old buckskiiners sheath, very nice work.

Thank you!
I can only agree, and can't add too, what the others are saying. Just amazing to watch the process. Thanks
Thank you very much! It's fun to do, but sure time consuming.
That's a dandy knife and you made a dandy sheath to go with it. Excellent work!
Thank you! That knife is amazing!
Nice Job
Thanks!

Good morning friend
Good morning!
Great looking sheath & who made the knife
Thank you! Not sure about the knife maker?
Mornin' !
I found out as a young'un that you should listen to crazy old folks sometimes. It's the best way to learn. haha
I'm mesmerized by the skill...my mouth just hangs open like a cave man seeing fire for the 1st time. lol
Good Morning!
Ha! It is! That nut with the doorknob was right!
Ha! Thank you!
Sweet, part 2 looks s lot harder
More time consuming for sure...
