Members hickok55 Posted September 4, 2022 Members Report Posted September 4, 2022 I made my first leather belt. It was made out of Italian veg tanned 3.6-3.8mm leather, a brass buckle and keeper. I think it turned out pretty good. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted September 4, 2022 CFM Report Posted September 4, 2022 it came out great! imo the tongue might be a smidge long.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Members hickok55 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2022 Thank you all Quote
Members Hags Posted September 6, 2022 Members Report Posted September 6, 2022 I like it, and yes a bit long. I leave mine at 4" past the first hole. Better than being short like my first one was! Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
PastorBob Posted September 6, 2022 Report Posted September 6, 2022 That is beautiful. As far as amount of leather in front of the first hole, Chuck at Weaver leather has some really good tutorials on belts to help guide you to the proper length. Nicely done. Love the color.

I'll check them out. I do think it's a bit long Quote
Members Jaxx1024 Posted September 7, 2022 Members Report Posted September 7, 2022 That’s very nice and clean and simple. I’m trying my first belt now and I don’t have anywhere near as clean of a finish. Quote
