Doc get some barge thinner also it has saved me many times, IMHO the thinner is a must have, barge is the best of all contact cement IMHO .

I would cut about 6" off skive back about 2" the reason for 6" you said the bad part is about 8" but two inches of the bad part will now be in the skive on front and back, make up a new end glue that on front and back and all the way to the end just like normal you can make the ends on the skived round or whatever just remember if it's round you need to skive that way, then stitch it up showing the add on you can thin out that front if you like but not to much it will look very nice. I'm not a Belt expert but I have done this and it came out looking better than the original design IMHO. Good luck Dwight

Every job I've ever done there was something about it that i said next time I'll do this or that but that's the fun part let the stitching stay do what you like on the next one.

wow very nice job you nailed it very cool just sat down and the first thing i see this morning is a job like that wow that made my day thanks for showing.

That's beautiful work and daughter .

A very gifted man you are!

In the next to the last pic the machines with the wheel on the front I have one of those have no idea how to thread it it's in mint cond I read somewhere it's a high speed machine I have a lot of parts for it also some day I'll figure it out lol. great pics can I get a window seat LOL

I was wondering about that nice job cutting it down and all that

Nice job on that Chuck looks like you walked off line there a bit.

Great job on that

My wife will ask me where i put something i had in my hands yesterday and i don't know and that's for real it could be a problem LOL and no it's not just her stuff.

great looking stuff that's what happens when you get good at what you do.

I was going to write this whole page on how to do it but did not have to Dwight said it all perfect!

That's some beautiful work I am sure they will love the gift .

Beautiful work Keep him in our thoughts God Bless

Definitely you will need another leather or some other product inside for stiffness good luck with them like to see when they are done.

those are really nice.

I'd like to see that sage brush scales stuff if you have one I sure would like to see it.

Nice work but no edge treatment on the open end ? dose not look finished to me .

Nice job on that for sure.

Nice work !

I'm not sure what I like best blacksmithing or leather work God knows I love hammering that hot steel love it.

That's a classy piece of work.

Nice job as always Chuck you do need to start with the before and after pics though .
