  1. I posted it in the wrong forum. I meant to post it in "Critique my work" section. Sorry...
  2. Hello guys, i started leatherworking about 3-4 months ago, but due to work, I haven't practice a lot. Yesterday I bought a Horween side (4oz) and started playing with it - and this it what I came out with. This watch strap is 22mm. I'm working into fixing my edges somewhat more; and for the next time, a better alignment of the buckle holes plus the front tip. I also uploaded my first ever leather job (the valet), and first ever saddle stitch. Thank you. :-)
  3. Thank you guys, Unfortunately i bought everything from Tandy (even the cheap leather) at least I have the military discount which is good. I'm still practicing I've done a few things, getting there. P.S. I bought an economy special double shoulder that is 7/9 oz it's very uneven and doesn't smell good. But hey, needed something to practice.
  4. Hello LW community, I am new here and learning this beautiful craft. I just bought a few tools from Tandy after watching many YouTube videos and reading the forum. This is my first post here and hopefully not the last (both asking and helping). Saying that, I will start by asking a question in regards to belt buckles, rivets, etc... from Tandy: Are those rivets, belt buckles and all those materials that says "brass color" are actually brass? Also, when they put "nickle plated" what materials are they really made of? I am asking this because first, someday I want to make belts with premium or "real" materials and second, I'm afraid of my belts and holster getting rust later on. I also would like to buy belt buckles from different shape and sizes, where is a good place to buy them? Thank you all in advance.
