"Pipe Smokers Belt Need a smaller width belt "

Why do you have to wear a narrower belt if you smoke a pipe?

post-13948-001609300 1329485908_thumb.jp It does not matter what type of belt you wear when smoking

but pants have different width belt loops. Since I retired, I have lost weight

and the last belt I made was wider and a heavy buckle. Buckle is a

Champion Spark Plug logo (brass) given to me by Champion for

outstanding sales. The belt was themed with the parts I have sold

tooled in.

I started carving pipes a year ago and the other belt was to heavy

and I like to tool leather. I put the two together for a theme.

I am dyslexic,so all the artful tooling is a no go.If is functional

it's ok with me.

By the way my wife will not let me do a purse for her. Would hate to

see what the theme was .post-13948-048733800 1329485397_thumb.jppost-13948-096876700 1329485421_thumb.jp

Thank you Cheryl.

The items that you produce make mine look like throwaways.

You also think out of the box as they say.

Joe, I think you have me mixed up with someone else. I do think WAY out of the box, I'll admit that, but I could never have done the belt you just did. I'm still working on my basket weave and it's not nearly as clean as yours. But thank you, Cheryl

Thanks Joe, I've really worked hard at it. I think because it doesn't seem like work. I want to quit 'working' all the time on the stuff I'm going to be selling locally, I mean just those three items, and work on other things and designs. But I always seem to get right back to those I think because we chose them to start with because I could do them quick and well. Not quick enough on this rythym bead set I've been working on all day though. But I keep plugging away :-) and I'll work in other things too so I CAN improve. Cheryl

Cheryl,

You got to do what makes a living or providing income.

Leather work takes practice of course. Basket weave takes a lot of measurements.

Well I've sold an In the Eye of a Horse, and three rythym beads, no two, I'm giving on set I made fast and inexpensively to a girl I know can't afford one, for the testimonial on my site. I started another one last night or yesterday I guess and it's going to be pretty I think, and I think the woman will want this one along with the one she's getting her own beads for. This one doesn't have any beads on it, but different typed of silver colored brads because the whole point is is the bells on it, not the beads. I'm putting a lining on the back although I checked every brad to make sure I had hammered the points down to make sure nothing ever sticks the horse. Oh AND I made a mystery braid to finish it off with when I get to that point. Now that was fun.....Actually I like all of it, designing them and so on, but my hands were so sore I just couldn't keep sewing. so I switched to a checkbook cover/card holder I'm making for me. Only because I'd already tooled the leather and it didn't work where I planned it, so I can't stand to throw anything away. So I'm gonna get that done today if it kills me and it's looking like it might head_hurts_kr.gifbut that's been fun too. Hope to have it on today. What YOU putting on today for me to see? Cheryl
