    One time i was at my brothers apartment there was a guy from a woodworking company trying to figure how to find the miter for a molding under the stairs after an hour and a half or so I had to get going as I was leaving I said to the woodworker would you like me to show you how to do that he said yah it took about 15 sec he said you sat and watched me for an all that time and said nothing ! I told him it's always best to figure these things out your self then you no what works and why.

    Thanks Forester one thing i like to do is lay the bullet loops on a separate billet then for the diagonal stitching i use a v tool to make a stitching groove from point to point the billet protects the belt itself and the stitching groove keeps the edge of the brass from ever touching the thread then you can stitch the billet on or use Conchos or decorative screws.

    Forester that's a ton of work and a beautiful execution .I made one very similar belt with 30 loops and holster for an Colt Anaconda 44 Mag I got $750.00 for it each person has there own way of pricing just thought I'd throw that out there.

    You can use a try square then set the edge of the punch against the squres edge, with somthing like that small tab you can use a combo square then set the distance in from the end. Be sure the work is on a very flat solid surface .

    Wouldn't bet on the tanning process killing pathogens hide glue can keep anthrax in intact forever !

    On edge sanding i use 80 grit open face for shaping, and finish with 120. For surface i rough it up with the back side of a lock back shaper cutter.

    looks nice what it for what kind of leather is that just one rivet at the btm dose that hold ok did you glue and sew or just sew sorry just like to know more about it.

    Thats funny your stitching looked so good i instantly thought machine lol .
  22. Samalan
    when i back tack i turn the machine over by hand and set the needle just next to the stitch still touching but beside it and yes if your not paying attention you can cut stitches in half that said i have never cut a thread turning the machine over by hand on the back stitch for the extra three seconds it takes its worth it and it feels good knowing im not cutting some stitch in half .
  23. Samalan
    I always divide the last few stitches and turn the machine over by hand changing patterns has never worked for me but thats just my opinion works every time for me your work looks very good! nice job.
