Members sinpac Posted July 27, 2012 Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 Just wondering if any of you Guys or Gals have a pattern. TIA, Chris Quote "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa
Members Glendon Posted July 28, 2012 Members Report Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Pick a width for your strap. Measure out the length needed and add two inches or whatever works to attach D-Rings. Space out your bells on the strap. If you want to get creative, cut a scroll pattern, decorative hole punches, whatever you want to do. It would be hard to do a set in stone pattern because the size of the horse or other animal you plan to put them on varies. If you want a carving pattern, look for a Christmas belt pattern.

Members Wishful Posted July 28, 2012 Members Report Posted July 28, 2012 Not exactly what you are asking for but perhaps some detailed info to get you going. It is an article from shop talk on how to restring bells but shows some good detail. Shop Talk Article Quote

Members gunman1876 Posted August 9, 2013 Members Report Posted August 9, 2013 studs that are on some of the brass bells are a problem as they add a 3/8 of an inch in thickness to your leather strap. Quote
