Any Side Quiver Plans or Build-Alongs???
« on: August 13, 2009, 08:38:00 PM »
Hey all,

I have been toying with the idea of making myself a side quiver for hunting this year.  Problem is that I don't know where to start.

I know there are lots of people that have built there own side quivers and not only would I like to see your plans or thoughts of your project, but I would also like to see some pics of it.

If you have any plans or instructions on a side, side tube style or DawgWare quiver, how about posting what you have?

I know there are others out there that would also like to join me in a project like this.

Thanks for the help and your time.

I typed up instructions for a plains-style quiver I've been emailing to people.  There's a good build along on here for the tube style quivers.

Here is something I wrote awhile back..hope it helps..I just copied and paste..might have to copy the links

Art

1. cut leather out to shape and I reccomend that you use at least 6oz. latigo or tooling leather that you can dye later if wanted

use a kitchen fork to make your border and then when you got your border use the tines to make your marks for the holes by using the border line you just traced

 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2603.jpg
cut a 1/2 wide pice and glue inside at the bottom and taper the last 1" from each end and when dry finish your holes on the back side

 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2605.jpg
make sure the pice is straight and fairly thick if possible..use a nail or a awl to make your holes if you dont have a handpunch and start stitching(use a heavy wax thread which you can get from various places and needles you can buy at walmart, they will in the sewing section where they are in a pack of various needles)
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2611.jpg
starting point will be the end of the taper so when the ends mate up you will be able to stitch all at once to make it neat

 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2614.jpg
finish off and start on the sides

 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2616.jpg

 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2612.jpg
completed
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2608.jpg
what it will look like
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2622.jpg
stand up and trace a out line on a piece of paper to get your bottom
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2620.jpg
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2621.jpg
when you get that teardrop shape you need...now cut the width of the inside pice you glued and sewn in, should be about 1/8" then you transfer that paper to a 1/4" thick of wood and use a grinding wheel to get to even and final shape
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2609.jpg
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2610.jpg
i also cut a leather plug that i glue to the wood to help muffle the sound
and then you push it down the in the quiver and by compression it will hold

 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2617.jpg
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2618.jpg
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2623.jpg
you can aslo dye the wood to match your quiver which I did but didnt get pictures of
I put 2 small holes at the top to where I add my fleece cover and I use a bungie cord to attach
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2625.jpg
opening of the main body
 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/razorbak1/Bows1/side%20quiver/Aug2624.jpg
all you need to do is cut leather about 1/2 to 3/4" wide and attatch to quiver and now it will be useful for either left or right hand
here are a few pics

I added a a piece that I use for a file if needed
