shadowryder Report post Posted November 19 Hi Ladies and gents , it is a couple of years since I was last on the site as other things in life took over from my leather working but was a case of needs must. Anyway I have been asked to make some Jeans belts for a shooting colleague at our club, He is looking for something quite sturdy at 3.5 to 4mm thick and 40 mm wide. I know its a lazy way but I am thinking of buying some dyed through belt blanks in the correct width /thickness, and then finishing the edges, punching holes and fitting buckles/keepers looking at choices available to me I have oiled tan , buffalo veg tan, italian veg tan or plain simple cowhide veg tan. could someone please advise?? Also having just watched hidepounders "Edging tutorial" I could use some advice on a decent edging tool as when using my current tool I end up with a concave edge on both sides of the leather rather than a rounded edge once again all and any advice much appreciated, Thanks all, JJ veg tan oil tan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cord1974 Report post Posted November 29 If you follow Hidepounders instructions you will have an amazing edge when you're done. The real game changer for my edges was going with saddle soap and a canvas rag. So much better edges than the wooden slicker id been using could provide.
