Carpenter's Tool Belt

[dikman]

Quite a remarkable job! Just looking at it I can visualise the amount of work that went into it! One thing, though, the circular piece on the back where the four straps come into it looks like you've sewn across the straps. I made a pair of suspenders from leather and stitched across the yoke at the back and eventually the straps tore through at the stitching.

Nothing is attached to the belt. Everything slides on, so you can move items where you want. However the pockets on each side are all sewn and riveted together. I think I have enough leather left to build a smaller tool pocket if he wants to change it out.

Yeah, I thought that's how it looked. If the smaller pockets popped off, he could adapt it job to job. Of course, the upside to one unit is he'll never wonder where the hell that little pouch went to ... 😬

I don't see a holster anywhere on that system?

I don't have a photo from the back, but the circular piece has slots. There are two straps and they simply pass through the circular piece. I placed the slots at 90 degrees because it seemed like a good idea. They should be closer to 60 degrees.

I'm not sure what you mean by holster.

You did a beautiful job on that belt. I was just joking, there's so much stuff on that belt I was thinking you could possibly get a holster behind the hammer holder in the small of the back, just joking around. You did a great job on that. I would wear that belt in a heartbeat, my friend.

That's amazing. He shouldn't even have to come down off a ladder for lunch lol. Beautiful craftsmanship!!!

In that case you're smarter than me.

Thanks for the compliments.

I think a holster would fit but pretty soon you run out of waist. Well my son would, I have a little more. 

I have sewn across straps and learned the "tear on dotted line" lesson as well. It's a rite of passage.
