Another fantastic collection of leather sheaths made by today's Level 1 Homeschool class! We used kits from Tandy Leather so they could jump right into the fun parts , and to save time.

First non-homeschool leather sheath class! This was Evan's first time working with leather. He did a great job yesterday! I really love the design he stamped in!

I guess if you're making leather sheaths, then you can hold them in a threatening manner for the final photo. The older Level 1 Homeschoolers did great with their first time working with leather!

This was a 2-parter class. Richard and his 3 daughters came a couple weeks ago to make Railroad Spike Knives. They all got the blades shaped, but then we had to unexpectedly cut the class short. So today, Sarah came back to the forge to finish the knives with her husband, Tim, who also made his own Railroad Spike Knife. So a little unusual, but everything worked out in the end and everyone has beautiful knives!
