FB takes up all my writing energy these days...so much easier than updating a blog! But here I am. Here is a fun little mod/hack I did this morning:
Above: The green sheath on the left came with the (carbon steel) Mora knife. I found the black Mora sheath on the right in a free box - the knife fits perfectly! The black sheath is a bit more substantial, but the hanger sucks. Got to thinking outside-the-box in the middle of the night...
Above: Cut off most of the hanger on the black sheath. Riveted on a central leather loop for velcro and/or a neck cord. Riveted a dangler belt hanger onto the side.
Above: Wa-laa! New sheath. It isn't perfect - but I don't care.

More fun - some projects I've been working on with the rivet gun:
Above: These dirt shoes were coming un-glued, so I applied some contact cement and riveted them back together.
Above: My project post-apocalyptic biker jacket for Wasteland Weekend 2014. Purchased this well-used welding jacket at a yard sale for 50 cents. Riveted the free shoulder pads on.
Above: The back of the jacket - license plate & aluminum strip riveted on.
Above: I'm going for the post-apocalyptic bandito look. Halfway there. Now to add patches, spikes, rivets, hangers, etc.
