Members Jarrett V Posted July 23, 2012 Members Report Posted July 23, 2012 I haven't been on in a while, and i decided that I should post up a new belt for everyone to critique. This belt consists of two layers of 6-7 oz. Herman Oak, tooled on the top and finger carved on the inside. I used #138 thread at around 11 spi. Quote

Members OdinUK Posted July 23, 2012 Members Report Posted July 23, 2012 Very nice! Do you have a picture of the inside? Were the layers glued first before sewing? I like it:) Quote Lord Of Leather
Members Jarrett V Posted July 23, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 23, 2012 Very nice! Do you have a picture of the inside? Were the layers glued first before sewing? I like it:) The liner was contact cemented after the top was tooled and dyed and after trimming the liner, I finger carved the liner, then stitched. Quote
Members Jimbob Posted July 23, 2012 Members Report Posted July 23, 2012 Made comment before, but again....cool work and I love the"finger carving"....super clean!! James Quote http://www.elfwood.com/~alien883 First it is just leather....then it is what-ever I can dream off...

Members Dallas Cowboy Posted July 25, 2012 Members Report Posted July 25, 2012 What machine do you use to sew your belts? Quote
Members Jarrett V Posted July 25, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 25, 2012 What machine do you use to sew your belts? I use a Cobra Class 4 on almost everything now. Quote
Members Dallas Cowboy Posted July 26, 2012 Members Report Posted July 26, 2012 Do you glue your belts to a pice of plexiglass before you case it to prevent shrinking? I know its recommended for sheridan tooling on book covers and such but i wasn't sure if it was used for belts that are tooled or stamped? Thanks again. DC Quote
