/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>278504
Naw, I generally work with thicker stuff, focusing on sheaths. Never had to make gloves, for some reason I magically FIND them... It's really weird.

Only thin leather I worked with was whip-stitching the sack-panels for that belt pouch.

Also had to wrap a poplar sword-scabbard, but couldn't find good leather. I opted to use a leather automotive chamois. They're very thin, but pretty strong and inexpensive.
Dyed it brown with simple fabric dye, and while it was slightly damp I sprayed the core with spray-adhesive. I stretched the leather around it, and cut the seam even at the back.
I then gave it a slick treatment with the Mink Oil.

Pic related. Everything in this pic I made by hand, except for the blade (an Albion-marked Del Tin Cinquedea blade) and the chape (the metal scabbard tip, also from Albion's moat sale).

Also, this is making me nostalgic for my college apartment.
