crazy k38 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Thank you - that tells me what I needed to know. I built a belt for myself a while back, but it was entirely hand sewn. I haven't come across any tutorials showing start-to-finish on building a basic gun belt. Guess I'll make a video of it one of these days... that is, after I figure out exactly what I'm doing!! Thanks again. If it's anything like your Youtube video on holster making it is well anticipated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack523 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 What kind of industrial staples? I was thinking of brass but that would cut the cost buy inserting them by hand. Nice looking belt. I was making one like that with an oiled leather. Did you use contact cement? The staples are to connect the ends of the keeper. I just use industrial staples and crimp them on with needle nose pliers. I make the holes for them with a stitching awl. Unfortunately, I can't upload any pictures right now. My computer went the way of the Dodo, and I have a temporary solution but the current computer I am using doesn't have a card reader, nor does my camera have a USB port. Here is a picture that I already had that might give you an idea of what I was talking about with the buckle end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
