Made my first belt

[MarshalWill]

Beautiful belt. Certainly a far cry from the one he gave you to measure. The basket weave looks good running along the belt instead of at an angle on it. I do mine that way too. He should be very happy with that one.

Really a good looking belt . . . especially being the first one.

Do yourself a favor . . . ditch the rivets.

Put Chicago screws in there instead.  They are much easier to install . . . plus the rivets can come undone . . . Chicago screws don't do that.  It also allows the owner to change out the buckle if the need or desire ever comes.

May God bless,

Dwight

Wow you did a bang up job for sure

I have to try a belt some time.

[AlZilla]

Sorry, I just don't see any flaws. I really, really like the stamping.

[SUP]

That is beautiful. Such beautiful stamping!  It is very unusual, your pattern. Lovely piece of work.

That is impressive. Something to be proud of!

The side by side picture is classic. On the old belt why would they punch holes all the way around?

Thanks! I did ask him that. He said it was a extension strap for some harness his wife had in the tack room. It was never intended to be a belt.

I'm sure brother in law will be thrilled! I made my first belt for myself andv that's when I realized how nice a belt can be! Your camouflage works perfect, I thought you had a special basket weave stamp.
