I've found lifting the leather off the work surface makes it very easy to cut, i draw the lines pattern then as much as possible i hold the leather up off the table with one hand and cut.

has the edit button been taken away?

weird the link doesn't open to the buckle and for some reason there is no edit button anymore? but Weaver is having a 10% discount on hardware so have a look.

i use buckles from Weaver leather haven't had one fail.https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/c/product/_z40_buckle_nickel_plated_1__00040_np_1/00040-np-1?cat_id=shop_now&node=roller_buckles

you do beautiful work friend!

the tandy roller buckle. I doubt there is much difference they all come from china now.

leather washers for leather handles for leather tools

something tells me after this weekend you will be making some more!

beautiful work!!! Thems some fancy spenders lol and just in time for October fest.

i agree they need some refining. They look to perfect or computer generated to me maybe its the flat edges lol. Do you or can you do logos? I'm interested in one.

wrap them in leather?

i think anything you do will only make it worse. But look at it this way your sap would have darkened naturally anyway.

i think for your first one its outstanding, especially considering you had to make the tools and roon also .

need more info friend. what kind , how tanned, how thick, how big?

wow! seems if a company is going to sell something supposed to better made then it should be dontcha think. its sure purdy an high tech lookin though.

usps sucks!!!! if i mail a letter to an address across my 8000 population town it goes 120 miles to Cheyenne and then back. ten year ago they sorted in town now its all done in Cheyenne .

i feel your pain friend fedex does that to me all the time. goes right thru town on I 80 to salt lake then back again to Casper then back here. friggin nuts!!!

from what i read only endangered in Virginia

some folks just lay the belt along the edge of a table and place/clamp/hold a length of wood on top so it doesnt slip then burnish away.

those rock man!!!!!

you could use two pieces of wood slightly shorter than your belt thickness, what ever length you can manage and a couple small clamps. if its shorter than your belt do a section then slide your belt through. how long is a full length belt? i'm doing a 64" right now. i use my lathe burnisher for smaller stuff lol.

got any pics so folks know what your talking about?

when i do brass on my wood lathe i use files, they work well.

have you gotten any business from it?

Darn good tooling you did an amazing job its very nice work i cant do letters lol. On your question a welt in a knife sheath is to protect the stitching it doesn't have to be an inch thick to fit the guard that's not what its intended purpose is but like all things hand made you can make it as thick as you want and i wont tell you your wrong by doing so. I make my welts the blade thickness at the most. Now on holsters i make a short tapered welt ,sometimes, because a revolver cylinder is much wider than the barrel but even those aren't an inch thick.
