I want to make a leather baldric with which I can carry the frog for my smallsword (no, I'm not kidding about this!). Knowing well the the expertise on the Mudcat, I'm asking for suggestions, advice, unwarranted comments, etc. etc.

The frog permits the sword (in a scabbard) to hand straight down; I'd like it to angle back.

I have leatherworking knives, tools, etc., and a little experience in working with leather.

Suggestions, as I said before, are welcome.
