Materials and Tools:
Leather knife or utility knife, awl or diamond chopper, spacing gauge, grinding rod (edge ??grinder, edge grinding rod, grinding rod), edge trimmer, leather hardware buckles and tools.
Production steps:
Cut a 2.5mm piece of leather, soak it in water for about 20 seconds, dry it slightly and start shaping it, and then cut off the excess after it dries.
Start making the back and flap parts, etc. Make a template with paper before cutting the leather.
The pattern is completed.
Cut two pieces of leather, one for the back and flap, and one for the fastener that can be fixed to the trouser belt (belt).
The upper piece of leather is perforated and a hardware snap buckle is installed.
Punch holes in the flip cover and install hardware snap-fasteners, and then you can dye it or keep the original color according to your preference.
Install the fixing fastener to the leather on the back, you can use a little glue, and then sew it in place.
In order to facilitate removal from the trouser belt (belt), the lower part of the firmware adopts a bite buckle method.
After installing the snap buckle, glue a thin piece of leather to the back of the leather.
The leather goods are all processed, and we begin to drill holes and prepare stitches.
The tool used is a spacing gauge, and the tool used for drilling is an awl. Of course, you can also use a diamond chopper.
After sewing, you can use 600 grit sandpaper to treat the edges.
Wax the leather with pure hot beeswax. Do not overheat the beeswax, otherwise it will damage the leather. Use a gentle toothbrush and apply it gently and evenly onto the leather.
After the beeswax has cooled, start suturing.
Treat the edges with an edge grinder.
The folding knife protective cover is finished!
