What weight leather?
leathercraft
a place for makers and creators - whether business or side hustle or hobby.
The back is 2.5mm and the front is 2mm. I guess that means 4/5oz and 6/7oz?
I've been wanting to try wet molding a leatherman or pocket knife, but don't have the right thickness at the moment...
Here's a couple thicker (7-9 oz) sheaths I've wet molded that I'm really happy with!
Silky Gomboy 240 Sheath:
Mora Garberg / Kansbol Sheath:
Ah that’s cool! Did one of the image links not render? I can only see the Gomboy one.
That turned out well! I’ll have to try that sometime. I always thought I need some sort of mold for it. Did you keep it in there while it dried?
Thanks.
Yep, I cling wrapped it and kept it in there while it dried. I was inspired by Chuck D from weaver leather making this: https://youtu.be/pgoxc0eaLGQ
