I wanted a simple belt holder for my small forest axe. I also wanted something that would allow me to sit in a chair without it being uncomfortable (without the axe!)
So, I raided my bag of leather....
I cut a strip 3cm x 60 cm
Punched some holes in it...
Then I popped an eyelet in it to hold everything together....
My finger represents my belt and the axe handle drops into the loop.
I'll test it at the weekend as I'll be out in the woods. It may need slightly different dimensions, but I'm sure you get the idea.
