Members Eaglestroker Posted January 12, 2012 Members Report Posted January 12, 2012 Critiques and comments welcome as always, this is my second glued and stitched gun belt and was for a very good friend. Think it took me a little over two hours to stamp that belt! Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted January 12, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Only thing I noticed, basket weave on your holster should fade into the edge. You stopped them abruptly before actually getting to the edge. You done a great job with the BW, they are interesting and equally frustrating sometimes. The belt is excellent. ferg Critiques and comments welcome as always, this is my second glued and stitched gun belt and was for a very good friend.

Members Eaglestroker Posted January 12, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2012 Hey Ferg, thanks for the compliments. I've struggled a bit on fading the weave without trashing the border of the stamping. My 1 year leather working anniversary was last weekend, maybe by this time next year those issues will be long gone. -Robert Quote

Basketweave stamping, . . . it just don't happen. But I surely do enjoy seeing someone having mastered it and liking to do it. I just flat do not have the patience, . . . Good job, Eaglestroker.

electrathon Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Critiques and comments welcome I was going to bite my tongue, but you asked. Your basket weave is at the wrong angle on the holster. You did it correct on the belt and that looks good. Aaron Quote
Members mattsh Posted January 13, 2012 Members Report Posted January 13, 2012 Sweet! I love the look. Congrats on the patience to do that.

Nick Thanks Nick, you always have something complimentary to say. Awesome. i really like the "old school" look. especially the dump pouch. Thank you! The dump pouch turned out well.

May God bless, Dwight Thanks Dwight, I find it relaxing and methodical. My arm disagrees sometimes but prefers it to running a 64" belt through the Boss. I was going to bite my tongue, but you asked. Your basket weave is at the wrong angle on the holster. You did it correct on the belt and that looks good. Aaron Thanks Aaron. I have never paid much attention to angle, I go with what my eye likes. What bugged me was the fact that the two angles didn't match. Sweet! I love the look. Congrats on the patience to do that. That you Matt. Quote
electrathon Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Here is a an example of both straight and crooked basket weave. Credit where due, it is Chan Geers work. The colored in line shows the angle the pattern lays in corectly at. The one row shows crooked. The is a very common mistake in basketweave layout. Aaron Edited January 13, 2012 by electrathon Quote
