Concealed Carry Belt Stiffener

[Tim Schroeder]

Didn't think about that. Good idea @chuck123wapati  I'm pretty sure my metal working buddy has a sheer and the Guy I'm working for right now I know has a break and a sheer for sure at the work shop. I did find some 1 1/4" metal strapping at HD but just need to see how thick it is. This Nexbelt is only .150 thick. Two pieces of 3/4 oz  and .028 Kydex comes out about the same. 

 Curious how stiff it might be if I glue all three pieces together.

I make steel lined belts . . . actually have a favorite black one that is steel lined . . . I often wear it to church.

The steel is 20 thousandths thick . . . 1 inch wide . . . and it goes from the last of two buckle retention holes . . . to just shy of the last hole in the other end of the belt.

I made one for a friend 10 years or so ago . . . he still wears it . . . loves it . . . 

I used two pieces of veg tan leather that were about .1000 thick . . . steel is glued on both sides with Weldwood contact cement . . . as well as the edges where the leather comes together.  

Leather sewing done with 346 poly thread . . . 

May God bless,
