Looks mate. A quick point? Lower the band-saw holder for more precision. The blade won't wobble so much when lowered. :)
Excellent work! Very informative.
In regards to your comment of the differences in Chrome tan and Vegetable Tan leather you are correct. Chrome tanned derives its name from the chemical Chromium; which is the primary agent used in tanning that form of leather. Vegetable tanned, however, gets its name from the tannins in plant matter that are used to complete the process. A typically chrome tanned leather can be ready in as little as 30 days, where a vegetable tanned leather tends to take closer to 6 months. Additionally, chrome tanned leather is often times a process reserved for leather that fails the standards necessary for vegetable tanning (be it weight, fiber consistency, or the size of the piece).
Wish I had the wood working skill for this. I mainly do leather work and looking to replace my Viking scabbard and upon taking it to replace the leather I found the main body was made of particle board
This is very promising. Though as a reenactor and leatherworker I prefer making stitching holes with an awl; this way you don't remove material from the piece itself and once it's dry and shrinks even a tiny bit, it'll hold the stitches in place really tight. Should the thread gets damaged, you'll take a lot until you notice and the whole piece won't unmake itself, so adding a new stitch on top (starting 1 or 2cm before and stopping 1 or 2cm after the broken thread) will keep it in place.
I've been wanting to make myself a scabbard for a few of my swords, and having this pop up today gave me inspiration to start!
I've just about finished up making my first scabbard for a Type XII arming sword. I'd been saving up to buy a scabbard, but after seeing your previous video tutorials I felt comfortable enough to try it. It's definitely not perfect, but I'm pleased with what it looks like. Thank for that, and glad to see you putting out new content!
I love to hear that! I'm glad that you made one.
Wow another project 😱😀 from Matt how cool 😎😎
And welcome back man, we all missed you 😇
That’s the nicest thing. Great to hear from you, my friend!
If you bring your blade guard closer to the wood it will make your bandsaw more accurate and easier to control.
New video hell ya!
aha! reading shadow of the conqueror. Nice
Haha. I was wondering if anyone would notice that.
Awesome scabbard! Im getting my deepeeka in a couple of days. Have you still not given it away yet? Cannot seem to find your email, have a wonderful weekend! 😊
I have a Badger blades hand and a half I want to make a scabbard for. Has anyone heard about a scabbard being lined with oil impregnated wool to keep the blade from rusting?
That seems to be a good idea provided that the sword is not a daily driver, otherwise the oil and wool would rapidly lose their efficacy.
late to this thread but as far as I know wool lined scabbards are historically accurate. I believe it's the lanolin, which is a natural component of the wool, helps to keep rust from the blade.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A router works super removing the wood
Where did you got those poplar plank wood ?
To water prof the the leather and wood you use oil.....
So the wood should be carved to the point that all of the blades angles are matched and have a perfect match or fit ...
Yea so if the scabbard is made correctly you would add oil and it would keep the blade oiled and the wood and leather won't dry out to much...
About moisture and changes in climate. "Skallagrim" made a wooden scabbard that shrunk a while ago. What do you have to think about in order to avoid something like that?
I didn't see Skall's scabbard. I'm going to have to go find it now!
@@MattsGreatHall Skall's a great guy and all but... it was... well you'll see xD
"What I Learned From Trying to Make Sword Scabbards
" is the title.
Where have you find your poplar, can't find any poplar or ashwood nowadays
It's available in all of the local hardware stores around me (Home Depot, Lowes, Menard's, etc.). It's funny because I can never find hardwood like cherry or other nice woods when I want it. You could probably purchase online, but shipping would be a pain.
@@MattsGreatHall I live in France and here we only have basic pine wood :(
is the scabbard still up for grabs I don't see your email in the about section
