Fellow belt makers,
Thank you for your time. What is the proper formula to measure for a belt? Is it to measure from the end of the buckle to the hole they use most? I have a formula that I have been using based on their waist size. A lot of my customers don't measure a belt they've been using and just give me a waist size. I thought I had the formula down and now lately I've been getting customers saying that the belt they received is too long! Sooo Frustrating!!
Please help with a formula in which I can determine the length of the belt based on their waist size. Thank you!
My first leather camera bag I made for my sisters photography business. I goofed on a few spots but next time will be better. Perfect practice makes perfect!
Thank you Rohn, I really like it a lot. It can do belts, holsters, sheaths, whatever. Eventually when I learn to make saddles, I'm going to be looking at the Cowboy 4500 in addition to this machine. I'd like to have both in my shop
I have heard great things about Bob. I called him when I was intially looking and left a message on his machine. Never heard back from him. Then I called him a month or so later when I was ready and it was the weekend so he did not answer. So I called Ryan and Ryan is notorious for always being available, hence he got my business. Ryan's knowledge and great customer service sold me right away. I did eventually get a call back from Bob, but I had already purchased through Ryan Neel.
Again, Bob is great. Just with my personal experience...Ryan worked out better for me. Anyhoo..point is that the Cowboy is a great machine and the service is great from either Ryan or Bob. Cheers
Congrats Toolster! You're going to love it! Hopefully you'll get as much work out of it as I have. Post pictures and a short review of the machine when you get it all set up.
Renee, give Ryan Neel at Neel's Saddlery & Harness a call. The guy is a genius and knows this machine inside and out. Bob is good too but in dealing with both, my personal opinion is that Ryan was better. Just my opinion.
