Bushcraft Leather Belt Kit




Badass stuff deserves Badass envelopment, right ? Well this is my low budget version of my Bushcraft Leather Belt Kit.
I really need where to carry my Camping Knife and my awesome Fire box and leather its the perfect material to do it. I really love the old and messy look that show my Bushcraft leather Kit.
Im not a Leather working expert so I let the pictures shows the whole process.
Gathering Old Leather and Making Tools.









Letaher, nowadays has become a rare material to find. I found in my grannys home an old leather seat from an old chair and a pair of my son's leather shoes. Fair enough stuff to begin.
There are some leather working tools that I had to improvise with a broken bolt and a stainless steel fork.
The largest piece of leather have some 30 years so before start to work I soaked in warm water.
Leather Bottle Hanger.










I improvised a Bottle hanger from an old pair of leather shoes.I disassamble the whole thing and started to imrovise stitching the pieces.
Knife Sheat.











I used a large piece of leather for the knife sheat. I sanded the edges and glued them, then I did insert some rivets along the edge and for the belt hanger I cutted a piece of leather and a Bronze ring .
Hatchet Sheat.







I did the same process before. Sand the edges, glued them and some rivets along.
Fire Box Sheat.



















The Fire Box Sheat was the hardest to build, because it needed stitches and riveting.I had to improvise a Hole pinches tool with a stainless fork and it worked just fine. The sheat was built with 5 pieces of leather.
The largest piece was a 15x40 cms. the two lateral sides of 3x12 cms, and the back strapples :3x8 cms.
