PeterJS Report post Posted July 4, 2023 Happy 4th (for those who are in the US)! This is my first post here. I recently finished a ranger belt I made for myself. This is the second belt I've ever made, so don't expect perfection. Anyway, I am looking for helpful feedback to improve my work. All the hardware is either from Weaver or Tandy. 8/9oz veg tan leather. If you're wondering about the D-Ring, I haven't seen one on a belt before, but I thought it'd be useful to clip stuff on (e.g. knives, keys, and such). Anway, enjoy!

You should have put the belt on . . . and marked the belt either next to the first belt loop on the left side . . . between 1 and 2 . . . but next to 1 . . . OR . . . just before you get to the last belt loop on your right side. It should not have been attached to the tongue . . . but rather the belt itself . . . and about as high as you can get it. As you presently have it . . . it will be a total pain to get thru the belt loops . . . and will hang down in front . . . and be uncomfortable. But it is a good start.

GrampaJoel Report post Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) It’s your second belt. Ok. It looks very usable. I say wear it with pride, and see what you like/don’t like about it. If you continue leather working you probably will make more. I don’t care for the black thread against the natural. I would use a light colored thread. Like off white. But that’s just me. keep going and perfect your skills. Joel Edited July 5, 2023 by GrampaJoel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
