Hopefully somebody out here makes a lot of belts and can give me a realistic idea here. I'm curious as to what quantities of belts a guy could expect to complete in a days time.... or a weeks time seeing as you might want to do several production type steps at a time. If you use a machine for the stitching, but do the rest of the work by hand (except the burnishing) and are not doing any carving or stamping, can you expect to make 6 or 8 per day, more, less? I want to make high quality gun belts using double layers at 6/7 oz ea. roughly. Thanks for the thoughts on this.

I'll try and get an answer right from the maker and see what he uses. I think for my needs I could get by real good with a machine that goes to 3/4" though. I plan to make Holsters and a sheath here and there. Thanks for the replies!

I have a sheath that is a bit over an inch thick and was sewn on a machine. What machine will sew that thick of leather? Jon
