How To Make A Simple Leather Knife Sheath - Leatherwork Video

I wanted to make a leather sheath to protect my EDC forged knife (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6hFBqZMNSA&t=281s) and I wanted to make it simple but also add a custom touch to it, to go with the padauk and oak handle I made for it. So I decided to make a very simple sheath, wet form it for this specific knife and add a second red piece of leather around the sheath, just to make it look nicer.

I started by tracing the pattern and cutting the pieces. Then I bevelled the edges, wet the parts to trace the inner lines and punched the holes. Once it was done, I used my groover to cut two lines inside the sheath, so the leather would bend more easily. I dyed the leather using water based leather dye (brown and red) and apply a first coat of neatsfoot oil once it was completely dry.
Then it was time to stitch the parts together and close the sheath. I started the wet forming of the sheath. I poured warm water inside the sheath then dripped the sheath in the water for a few seconds. I protected the knife with wrapping paper and apply little pression on the leather to form it around the knife. I let it dry completely before I finished the burnishing of the edges and applied a second coat of neatsfoot oil.

About the Site 🌐

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
