turning my dad's old belt into a guitar strap

[Guest Matt]

Hello, I live in Delaware county outside of Philadelphia. I've been shopping for a guitar strap but can't quite find the right one, and thought that maybe I should use my dad's old belt as a strap. However I don't want to destroy it in the process, and have decided on finding a good craftsman to do the work for me properly.

 

I would prefer somewhere local but can be persuaded to try other options.

This can be as easy as making two end pieces and maybe a shoulder pad. You could possibly get by without any work to the belt at all.

I can’t help you with your project but I hope you find someone that can. I lived around you about 40 years ago in Ridley Park. Good luck!

Pictures of he belt and maybe a sketch of what you want ? Then someone here can decide how to help or make arrangements with you. Just a suggestion.

Unfortunately, guests can't post photos, so will have to put their photos on a 3rd party host.
