Nighthawk Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I know this is a pyrate forum, but I found it doing some do-it-yourself research for some leather work (in particular, my nephew is making a pirate costume and I'm helping him with things like belt, baldric, and bracers.) I figure that if I'm going to be using your do it yourself forum, I may as well contribute a little! So without further yammering from me... My sgain dubhs, or black knife. It is either worn in the top of the Highlanders boot, sock, or hidden. My son and my dirk, or Scottish short sword: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Some of my leather work: This is a sheath I made for my sons tomahawk: I currently am working on a quiver, bow sheath and archers baldric for my son. If there's any interest, I'll be posting pictures of those as well as they come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn'rob Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Beautiful work. It's cool to see a young person interested as well. We have a Powder Monkey aboard of the "Meka"II named "Slowmatch". He's a sponge for knowledge of this history, ship handling and marlinespike seamanship. Not video games! I just finished a first attempt at a knotwork with soft leater incorporated. I'm pleased for a first attempt but I see the mistakes I wish to avoid on "model #1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see all the flaws and faults that I want to avoid in the next incarnation, as well, but everyone else keeps telling me how great my stuff looks. I'd love to see what you did- maybe steal some ideas! I'm watching King Arthur with my son right now and am getting some great ideas for a new set of bracers. Your Slowmatch sounds a lot like my Ravan... Great nickname for him, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
