I began making scabbards due to the relative high cost of professionally made scabbards, but I after a thorough search for insightful instructions on how to properly construct one, I realized that these might actually be the "trade secrets" of the best scabbard makers. While the work of expert craftsmen is far superior to my own, I think that one can still craft a satisfactory scabbard with few resources, a small amount of skill, and a little time. To assist you, I've created this brief tutorial. It doesn't cover topics like tooling techniques, but perhaps I will do an additional video on that subject in the future.
