So for Christmas My dad got me some kydex and rivets, and I was able to get it done (save a belt attachment, all in time) I used a just a ban saw, a dremel, and a little sandpaper. It was a nice break from kinematics, Physics, and Engineering Math.
The first thing I did was the rough cut.

fallowed by a little shaping, dremel work, and sanding.

and tada


Now I know the "waves" are a little "agressive" inbetween the ritets, but I was going for a few things first and formost light weight, but also a place to wrap cordage around.
The rivets are a little ugly but they were with center punch and a hammer. I am very pleased with the retention, and the sheath as a whole.

Very cool man! I actually like the waves alot!

Very cool, by the way, thanks for suggesting Monster Hunters International to me, it was a very enjoyable book

I am glad you liked it the book.

I am digging the waves too. A lot better than if I attempted a sheath making project.

Diggin the waves.
Have you checked out knife kits?

Good job, especially for a first time sheath. Iam diggin the wavy sheath too!
Great way to hang cord. Big props here!!

nice job buddy! especially for your first.

I hear the more you do the faster and easier it gets, does Jeff have to worry now? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I was like "Waves?!" that might cause friction problems but your cordage idea is good, I like that, I wanna see it wrapped now.

now you've given me an idea for something similar with webbing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Really nice job on the sheath

Nice job <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- now maybe give leather a whirl <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice. Are you going to add a little thump press to it?

Wow thanks everybody I will have to admit the I am liking the groves more and more. First off our dear Bro Rainwalker is in no trouble at all. My fit and finish will need a couple more years. I really like working with kydex it is rather forgiving infact I made some more this morning.
here it is with about 7 feet of 550 cord wraped about.

and

I also made a belt loop this morning, I went for IWB, and have been wearing it all day and it is hardly noticeable, and comfortable when sitting.
With the IWB loop I did olny one loop so it can rotate with me as I move about.



Also while I was at it I made a little holder/sheath for my little Kershaw, I love it, slim and hardly prints under the shirt, right now rentention is a bit stiff I will need to heat it up again and make it a we bit looser.
