Middle Ages, Moyen Age, Mittlalter, Sword Scabbart

Here's some guidance of building 'A' worth sword scabbarts:

First measure the blade you're building this for.
Get some beech-wood in the appropriate lenght and width for your blade (blade measured +2cm in any direction, without adding +2 to the hilt direction measure).

Get some leather (1mm thick, cattle-hide prefered) in the measures of the beech-wood (multiplied by 2 plus 6 cm). Remember that, if you're going to built a mantle around the hilt-point of the blade (see pic; the mantle's the enlongated  part of the leather hide that covers the guard of the sword and a little part of the angle. It's meant to keep water/rain out of the scabbart) you have to measure the height of the blade plus the guard plus one-third of the handle. In addition you need some leather-rests for the inner duplicate of the mantle (mantle-measures +1cm on every side of the outer mantle*)

Next get some fur (goat fur pre'fur'red ). Size has to  be once close arount the blade of the sword you're working on.

You'll also need a sharp cutter, a steel ruler, a leather needle and some waxed ply yarn. Also veeeery helpful is an awl for prickling the seem-holes (of course, you can do this with a hammer and a sharp nail, too).

The rest is history.... Just kidding! Uploading pics of how it's done later! Even diagrams of it!
Well, measuring takes two-third of the time you'll need to do the whole thing...
