MADMAX22 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 Made a simple belt for myself as I figured I shouldnt be wearing some store bought junk lol. Anyways couldnt decide on any designs so just went with a two tone theme. Pretty simple, not the best job and lots of little booboos. Top layer is 8oz and bottom is 5oz, a little thick but the leather is relatively soft and I guess I could allways use it as a weapon or rescue device and not worry about it breaking. Hand stitched and I used tan and dark brown for the colors. Quote

Hand stitched and I used tan and dark brown for the colors. It's simple, but not plain, and it definitely looks like a sturdy belt. I definitely like it! I would have to advise sticking a bigger buckle on it for use as a weapon, though Quote
MADMAX22 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks man, too bad I dont like big buckles. Ahh well. Quote
Members jbird Posted June 28, 2009 Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 It looks fantastic great job Josh Quote
MADMAX22 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks Jbird, you still hanging in there I hope. Quote
TomSwede Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Hey Madmax!! I sure would like to spend a day or two with you to find out what happens in your everday life since you need it as a weapon or rescue device, lol ;-) Belt looks great, clean and elegan The dualtone is a nice touch. Rollers on the buckle is great to save the belt from fraying. Nice job, should attract some interest from friends and foe. Tom Quote
Members Brandon Posted June 28, 2009 Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 Nicely done! Maybe better with five holes? Quote
Members ericluther Posted June 28, 2009 Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 very nice work man!! I dig the two tone, looks great! Quote
Members Tina Posted June 28, 2009 Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) I like this belt. The two-tone and the overall very clean look is really appealing Edited June 28, 2009 by Tina Quote
MADMAX22 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 Nicely done! Maybe better with five holes? You are correct, I didnt even think about that stuff till I was reading a how to thread in the saddle section on making straps. Totally didnt even think about it while making the belt. Will be something I hopefully will remember for my next projects. Tom its not that exciting unfortenatly Thanks everyone for the nice compliments. Quote
Members ps0303 Posted June 28, 2009 Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 Very nice!! I just finsihed my first belt as well. Not as fancy as yours. All black and hand stitced as well. Now that I did that I really want a machine badly. Quote

Now that I did that I really want a machine badly. Congrats man, this is my second and honestly the first was a real pain to sew but it got easier with the second. Sure you could be done in 10min probably (guessing) but ahh well, probably took me about 2 hours of stitching maybe a tad more (Im pretty slow) but I like the end result. One of these days Ill get a machine. Thanks for the compliments Bree and Badger. Quote
