I haven't been on in a while, and i decided that I should post up a new belt for everyone to critique.

202268_503267886365715_1502461497_o.jpg

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.

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.

What machine do you use to sew your belts?

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
