    Very Sorry but this show is cancelled. Reply from Gill Gillian BettsNorth East Ferret Rescue I feel I have no choice but to cancel the show on Sunday in light of the recent reports of distemper around the country. If it had been a couple of weeks later we could have had time to see how things panned out but it is so close timewise I feel its not fair to take the risk and need to make a decision in enough time for everyone to be informed. I am hoping to reschedule in March, will check the availability of the hall, and let you know as soon as I've sorted it. If its ok with everyone who ha

    Good photo and dog. Most dogs at the shows are worked but there are a lot of pricks on the internet, who'd never know a good dog.

    Oops, forgot the instructions Its just the marking out of the welt, but the use of the safety beveller. Only that one edge shown is trimmed down (tapered), so its a nice fit when the sheath is folded. The beveller is used the same on the visible end of the belt loop. Ready for stitching. The knife is by Smallholder1 off this site. Another great knifemaker

    Another set my mate has done. His leather work is as much an art as his knives.

    one i'm doing now

    Steve66 The stamped sheaths are made by my mate, we don't use patterns,- just wrap a bit of leather around the knife to get an idea of the length of leather needed, remembering you have the welt to go in (prevents the knife cutting the thread)

    Note,- the tin of footware protector, is for spraying the inside of the sheath to waterproof it. A tin of wax is shown but i've never used it, as shoe polish or dubbin is just as good on the outside. Le Prevo do good sized off cuts at a reasonable price.

    This plain one on the belt i did with just a adjustable groover. 3mm veg tanned leather

    My mate and i use a small dremil type drill for making the stitch holes, but a needle type as shown is just as good but longer time. A sheath can be made in a day but will take about a week to dry when soaked and moulded then dyed and polished My mate bought some stamps also and this is with the same basic tools. From Le Prevo in Newcastle

    Its possible to spend heavily over the top for items you really don't need. This is the basics that will make good sheaths . Safety beveller, adjustable groover. Craft knife, large darning needles, thread and a block of beeswax for pulling the thead through prior to sewing. wax not shown but from flytying shop or i got mine from my local dive center for £2. Dyes etc from the local cobblers, and shoe polish
