Back Quiver Build Along - St Jude...(photos have been restored-)

[M60gunner]

I looked for this thread, where was it? Maybe I missed it? I was going to make another but lost my notes. Glad you are rebuilding this thread. Could you put it in some kind of form that would allow us to download it to our devices. I did this with Bowdocs restoration thread some years back. Thank you agian.

Bud...lookin' good brother!

You don't need to bust it out immediately....take your time!

Its kinda neat that some folks have saved images to a secure source.  I believe most have not...and those images could be gone forever.

M60, if you download a PDF printer you can convert the entire thread to PDF. There are probably many available but I use Cute PDF. It's free to download.  Just Google it.

Yep....same here with the "cutePDF".  Not a bad idea when it comes to irreplaceable images / threads.  These build-alongs are gold.  Happy Bud saved the evidence!

anybody suggest an equivalent to CutePDF for a Mac? I would love to have this archived on my computer.

I don't have the answer but Google Is your friend.

Yeah just being lazy. Though somebody might have a preference.

Took a break. Will start back rhis afternoon to continue reposting pics. One may be lost for good as are a few others.....

I'll add a couple more photos of a quiver I made using part of ceme24's gator he got in SC a few years ago.




The strap.




This thread has been rebuilt. If any questions arise for building your own quiver, please ask.

Please, do not contact me to build you a quiver. Soap Creek builds them now and is TG sponsor. His prices are quite reasonable, too.

I am retired and building quivers for others for a fee is too much like work.  


I hope this thread is useful to many. If anyone downloads it to a pdf, I sure would appreciate a copy.

Thanks.

Excellent!!

Thank you Bud for rebuilding this thread. I plan on using it to build my own quiver very soon.

I figured out how to save this thread to my IBooks. Just selected PDF from tool bar. Now have this and bow restoration thread forever.

Thanks agian for rebuilding the photos, I know it was not a fun thing to do. I plan on using English Bridle leather for this one. I used Latigo for a few but got tired of "bleed out". I use mine off and on, it's just to hot here for me to wear this time of year. I have also made the quiver like Errol Flyn used in Robin Hood. Not as conforming to the back but looks cool with a doz arrows in it.

M60gunner, could you send me that dowload, please?

Pm for email.

Hey Bud I was just wondering, and I must be missing something, how your tying off the lower strap end. Thanks again for reposting this thread.

Happy to see this one reposted. Can't tell you how many times I've read thru this post Bud. Leather and supplies waiting for me in the shop

Thanks Bud...so many old threads without their critical pictures. It's wonderful to see this one back in all it's pictorial glory.

MikeF,

At the bottom I insert the lace tips in the lowest holes making a U when you pull it evenly into the quiver body. (You can reverse this to give a slight adjustment for the elbow bump by placing the lace in the top holes first) I then take each lace straight up (or down) to the hole above it and come out of the body. This way the vertical lace is kess likely to catch a sharp BH tip. I then attach the lace to the lower stap end going inside the strap on the flesh side of the leather. Then X them up to the next holes up, then back out again and then secure them under the X. It makes for easy adjustments to lengthen or shorten the strap.

If this makes sense, great. If not, I can try to upload some more pics.

Let me know.

Everything together.

 


Glenn wanted 21" deep. I added a thick piece of leather cut just smaller than the bottom pattern and wedged it into the bottom of the quiver to protect the lacing from sharp broadhead points. This put me right on 21" deep.

That's it.

If there are questions, I'll be glad to offer my answers, but there are many techniques out there. This is just one way one leatherworker does it.

I treated Glenn's quiver leather before assembling. The vegetable tanned leather soaked up everything I put on it. It'll need more. The more you put on it, the darker the leather gets.

Awesome Bud!
gotta love leather...
