Cutting Side Into Straps, Or Precut?
jinrui73 replied to Ryan Barto's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
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 -

Pretty awesome! -
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

Man that is freakin cool! -
Just so we know, the letters are supposed to be crooked, lol. -
Seriously thinking about scraping this and starting again. Anyone second the motion? -
Sadly the practice piece looked better than this. I'm not really sure what happened, lol! Thank God for black dye! -
