Members Bluesman Posted April 24, 2012 Members Report Posted April 24, 2012 I made this belt for a buddy of mine. Turned out better than I thought. So finally something for someone other than me. Thanks for all of the help and guidance. Jon Quote If it ain't moving and should......WD40, If it's moving and shouldn't....Duct Tape. There you have it, now fix something

Members rosiart Posted April 25, 2012 Members Report Posted April 25, 2012 Looks good! Can I ask how you attached the lining? Quote Rosemary RosiArt's Blog
Members Bluesman Posted April 25, 2012 Author Members Report Posted April 25, 2012 The lining was an afterthought. I used a Tandy blank and stopped the lining at the skive end. Didn't want to remove the snaps. Then the snaps wouldn't stay closed so out they came and replaced with rivets. I used Barg's contact cement for the lining. The neat thing was that the belt was finished, edges and all when I decided to line it. This gave me a very nice clean line between the black belt edge and the light lining. Sometimes, you mess up and it turns out to be something nice. Thanks for asking. Jon Quote If it ain't moving and should......WD40, If it's moving and shouldn't....Duct Tape.

Members WScott Posted April 25, 2012 Members Report Posted April 25, 2012 Nice Belt So would you do the lining like that again? what is the lining material? I often screw up and find a way to bail things out...some times for the better than originally planned Quote

This one just was a differnt animal, but I learned. Lining is 2/3 oz. I bought from Springfield. I also recieved this hide today, so I have more practice material. That's a 9 foot counter top.

Members WinterBear Posted April 25, 2012 Members Report Posted April 25, 2012 Nice belt! Your friend is lucky to get that. How much time do you figure you have before his buddies see it and you get mobbed? I think I have leather envy too--that was one big steer. Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
