Kydex Projects

[GTNerd]

Hi all! I wasn't sure where to put this thread as there seemed to be no good place for it (except here). I'm new to working with kydex, and would be interested in seeing your projects, and hearing any tips/tricks that you may have come up with along the way.

I'll post some pictures of mine once I find the USB cable to my camera.

Thanks!

So here is the first picture of many (I hope).

Backside? Just loops or cordura back? Do you do your forming with a hairdryer? I'm interested. Never done any of it before.

The backside is also molded kydex. I used nylon straps and two pairs of Chicago screws to make the belt loops. I currently use an electric griddle and a non-contact infrared thermometer to heat the kydex.

I use foam from Knife Making Supplies. I get my black kydex from Link Removed, and my eyelets and Chicago screws from KnifeKits.com™ : Knife & Gun Making Supplies and Tools.

I will try to get pictures of some of my other projects soon.

Here are a few videos that I found helpful (This will come in several posts because it won't let me just give you the links):
