    Hi Jerry, I too am a noob and was inspired by the people on this site to get some tools together last Christmas and give it a go...still haven't done as much as i'd like but work gets in the way!! Anyhoo, good luck to you and it sounds like you are doing the right thing by mastering the swivel knife and learning from the tutorials...the Paul Burnett's tutorials are superb...

    I bought a single bend for $52, I can get 12 good 44" belt blanks and some scrap for small projects and practice out of it, that comes out to just over $5 per complete belt (econo buckle, line 16 snaps, and a keeper). I sell them for $30 each (cause my skill level is still pretty low), it takes me anywhere from 2 to as much as 7 hours so far depending on what I'm carving. So IMO it's a good investment. It just depends on how much you think your time is worth. -jerry

    These two have proven to me how unprepared I am to market and sell handmade leather goods. I think I'll use the rest of the bend I've got for practice and personal items. I think these came out ok but I know with practice I can do way better. Definately shortened the learning curve on many levels though! LOL! Thanks to all the people who chimed in to help with these! -jerry

    Does anyone else take 7 hours to hand carve a belt or am I just super slow? I did one in 4 and it looked like poo.
