Members Acadialeatherworks Posted June 25, 2008 Members Report Posted June 25, 2008 If you absolutely must splice, (which I don't recommend if you can avoid it) I would skive at least 3" on both sides, and add a liner if possible to strengthen it even more. then glue and stitch. A little hint on skiving long pieces for overlapp, use a belt sander or something similar, it takes some practice to not overdo it, but it works great, you can get a perfect taper up to about 8-10" if you want.

Members skipj Posted June 25, 2008 Members Report Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) I have a number of videos on holster making and John Bianch's are the best in my opinion. If for no other reason they are longer and go into more detail in the process. They are on multiple DVD's. I don't have Jim Simmons video so I can't speak for it.

Members viejo Posted July 7, 2008 Members Report Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Anyone have any experience making western style belts? I'm specificallytrying to make a 3" cartridge belt for a single action revolver. You mean like these? Edited July 7, 2008 by viejo Quote Leatherworking is much better than tattooing. If you screw up the leather, you just get another piece......
