right, so, leonardo needed some clothes . . . i have no leather in the house suitable to make a sheath and was wondering what to use. So, doing a tidy up and found an old pair of wellies that were too small for my youngest and one of the puppies had decided to use as a chew toy so couldn't give them away to a neighbours kid.

So decided we'd give a go at making a sheath out of the rubber.

Firstly, cut a piece of rubber to size using the serrated blade on my wave, folded it and drilled holes in it for the rivets - used aluminum rivets with washers to stop them pulling through.

once that was done, the question was how to secure it - we were going to use press studs but no way were they heavy enough to punch through the rubber so we decided on a paracord tie with a clip which my daughter made for me.

 :viking:  :viking: :viking: :viking: :viking:

used some gorilla glue around the edges to seal them, currently that curing, then will use either gorilla or duct tape to cover the rivets. It's a rough job, but hopefully it'll be functional.
