Knife Sheath Making How to make pocket knife sheaths
Beveling and background work with Craftools from Tandy Leather Factory
 on this pocket knife sheath
I've got three tools here they are Crafttools
And I've got a Maul Master Maul for tapping the tools
And let me tell you about these leather tools
I should have these tool numbers memorized by now
Craftool B802 and B803 are the numbers of the bevelers I use
I use a Craftool number 888 for the background work
My pocket knife sheet is just about dried out and is perfect for beveling and back grounding
I have a lead weight I use for holding the piece still while I tool the leather
While I do my beveling
And I'll start out with the Craftool B802
Craftool B802
I use little short soft taps with the leather maul
And I am not tapping just real hard...Kind of softly
What I do is just 
Is run the tool around the cut mark and bevel the tooling
As you progress you learn which way  to bevel and which way looks the best
From the stems you want to bevel outwards
On this one I bevel in
Looks like I can do all the beveling with the B802 Craftool
Beveling with the Craftool B802
B802 Craftool
I have the B803 handy if I need it
So in just a little while I'll have this
All beveled then the next step will be
to do the background work
With a Craftool
With a Craftool 888 it has a sharp point on one end and blunt end on the other
Blunter on the back side
Clean out your design
You can really get up into the tight spots with the sharp point of the 888 Craftool
