NICE JOB LAD ! I like to see young men using common sense to make things. So many youths today can only play video games and not much else. They could not survive or want to, in the outdoors today . i found some green scalloped edge garden edging 3 ' in length at Homey Depot. It melts nice and is cheap too. I made some sheaths but added a belt hook on the back to carry my hatchets and knives. Thanks again!

The last few times I've used a pop-riveter, I forgot to use little washers. Thanks for reminding me! When I made a PVC knife sheath, I used a black PVC pipe segment. If it's black to start with, you don't have to worry about scratches. Everything else about my sheath turned out horrible... but at least the scratches don't show.

Thanks, I need sheath for my axes so I may give it a try. Thought of two things, first before you put in the last rivet hold it close with some vice grips to test how tight you want it then set the last rivet. Second if you noticed it was not closed like you pointed out before you paint it heat it with a heat gun and pinch it closed with some pliers. Yours looked really nice.

If someone doesn't have, or maybe doesn't want a pop rivet tool, you can probably use screw posts instead. They look like a small "t" nut with a machine screw with a wide flat head. They can be found for 1/8" thickness and up, often in aluminum, brass, or steel. I used some to repair my Lowes "pro" tote/clipboard when the clamp got broken. Rather than throw it out, I replaced it with a "donor" clamp from a dollar store clipboard.

just a thought, if retention is an issue for some people, use a grommet instead of one of the rivets, and get some shock cord, feed through the grommet and tie it off, with it long enough to stretch over the hammer face when inside the sheath.

4.) You can get tiny vise-grips at Lowes for 1.99. Use a pair of those to 'test' where you want that last rivet. Just clamp it on, and test fit the axe. If it isn't tight enough there, you haven't already drilled a hole and installed a pop rivet. You can move it to where it is tighter, and test again. 5.) Nice axe! I have one just like it. It's my favorite of all time.

Good video BraveTheWilds... You mentioned to be cautious that the PVC doesn't ignite; it is worth stressing is that PVC is very toxic if burned.. PVC is highly dangerous to both personal health and the environment when burned. PVC is one of the worst offenders when it comes to toxic substances. PVC can emit highly corrosive and toxic hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid) when burned. It is also is a source of dioxin and phosgene gas when burned at temperatures below complete combustion. Phosgene is an odorless gas that can damage the lungs and was one of the substances used in chemical warfare during WW I.

Nice vid. I gave you a like. :) I know this video is a few years old now, but a tip for heating your PVC: use an oven thermometer and heat your oven or grille to 350-400 degrees (start around 375F and add or subtract to what's working best for your purposes). Lay your piece on some foil and it'll still get the heat but won't scorch. I've done sched 40 pipe like this, which has to stay in the heat longer to heat throughout, but works like a charm every time. I lay my piece on the flat rather than the end. It tends to curl slightly at first but then starts to un-roll and lay flat which is a good indicator of how ready the piece is for forming. I like your videos. Keep up the good work!

Please consider showing cleaning up after yourself (if just a quick still screen). I sure you cleaned up the hose reel after scrubbing the pvc pipe. Its a small lesson in responsibility and accountability. Plus it'll give viewers a chance to continue doing projects if Mother's hose reel, grill, or deck doesn't get dirty'd up doing projects it will encourage Mom and Dad to support projects in the future.
