those look great !! are they adjustable in length?

thats a great design!!! Happy 4th to all!!

it looks pretty handy to me.

if you like it that what counts, I like some bling too lol I make my own.

man that's way to easy lol.

what was that blade you sent me? It rocks !!

your paying for more bling than function there IMO, Frodo sent me a really awesome little Japanese blade that only cost a few bucks. i think expensive steel has its place for sure but i doubt it would be cost effective to sell with so much cheaper competition. Most folks start on the cheap as a hobby and by the time they decide to make it permanent already have the cheaper tools bought.

shoulda guessed you would have one lol.

i just got this great brain fart, cut the end off of an exacto knife and install it on a custom handle that actually fits your hand.

also i think that the youtube videos are taking their share of people who would use forums or stay on the forum. I've seen it here many times, someone will join the forum spend about a month asking questions , getting good free info then next thing you see is a video by them to sell their Esty store front. Don't get me wrong i use youtube for info as well for subjects i need, its a great learning tool but we all need to realize if the info can be had for free and no discussion or joining a forum then a lot of folks go that direction. Heck at least weekly some one here posts a video, that means someone else doesn't have to join the forum just that simple, they just follow the youtuber of choice. Many on here have numerous videos so why use conversation when you can watch.

i found this too with his links to some of the products. Good luck friend!!! https://www.rmleathersupply.com/pages/bob-park-method-of-burnishing-edge-finishing

here is the way to do it from the best. this thread is still open.

this is a faux leather bracelet too. I agree if it is real veg tan leather then what Fred and Matt said.

the picture isn't clear enough to tell if its even leather on the inside. Maybe a faux leather product with a "genuine leather" outer piece.

all i see you need is a good quality edger, a belt sander and a burnishing stick. i have seen the refillable felt pens online. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Felt-Tip-Pens-Pen-Refillable-Refillable_60825135024.html?spm=a2700.7724857.topad_classic.d_image.2c504fa9YmEXa8 https://www.amazon.com/Molotow-Empty-Marker-Chisel-729-100/dp/B0148VCT4Q/ref=sr_1_3?crid=YZH3TZTT112A&keywords=refillable%2Bfelt%2Btip%2Bpen&qid=1656331187&sprefix=refillable%2Bfelt%2Btip%2Bpens%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-3&th=1

Man that is a lot of work, it looks great.

Those are awesome work, they look great !!! Is there going to be a matching belt?

lol. 50 + bucks for one of those? no wonder you want to make your own. get a few pieces of paper and practice your origami skills. You can come up with your own pattern in minutes.

you've posted 140 times since joining and haven't posted since March except to bitch a little about others on this thread? what gives friend?

besides it being the first weekend of summer and most folks on vacation i guess that could be part of it. why don't you post something? That's how this works.

i knew you would have a good answer.

i wonder, wouldn't it be faster and easier to finish the tongue end of the belt then all you would have to do is cut the belt to length and finish the buckle end ? I don't know but am asking if it would be inappropriate to cut the stitching at the buckle end?

lol happy wife happy life.

nice work and welcome to the club. lets see some of that leather and steel this aint no union shop lol.
