First Belt

[Spider]

very cool Spider - love the design - the font is killer, great carving and coloring..i also like the billet - great way to use it...excellent job

but - why not line it? -it will last alot longer and will be more durable -

also - i think i would have used a rounder lacing pattern if i were going to do a belt

edge that way - i forget the pattern name - easily researched

the back and edge of the belt can and should easily look as great as the front - and you could even do that now if you wanted!

personally i think the front of the belt warrants it..lol

I appreciate your feed back and .02 cents. Gives me things to think about for the next one or even this one if I wanted.

Thank you Steve

ya definitely gotta keep doin' the skull tips!

Thank you Drac. I think I will accent the tips with something cool everytime.

Hey Spider gimme a break, just come home from work with ...tada..a broken belt that I'm gonna redo for a friend at work.

No tooling except a little edging. He want's it as cheap as possible, ah well bread and butter money.

Sooo, this piece is fantastic it really rocks!

Every little thing is great, the skull tip, the lettering, backgrounding, laced edges and really cool beltbuckle.

But..what are you doing on that chair, isn't it easier to hang from a string? I'm guessing camerashakes is the reason.

Great work!

Thank you Tom. I feel like we are learning new things all the time together. Luckily we have these pros willing to share with us. Or I should say, i am lucky to have all you guys sharing with me. I am an artist but I am learning the technique now. Fun stuff.

Oh, btw, I have my walls carpeted so i was not on a chair.....yeah,....Damn it I can't lie. I will hang the darn thing next time....Thank you Tom.
