Members Killerkaney Posted February 8, 2013 Members Report Posted February 8, 2013 I've not been using this forum for long but don't let that stop you from being brutal ! This is the first belt I have made with a bit of guidance from a friend. It's 4mm Italian bridle in hazel ! I am quite pleased but there's always something that can be done better. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed making it ! Quote
Members Jrharres Posted February 9, 2013 Members Report Posted February 9, 2013 I like the stitched belt keeper. I hate using snaps....thanks for the idea! Quote
Members WScott Posted February 9, 2013 Members Report Posted February 9, 2013 Looks awesome!! The only minor thing is I find the stitch that overlaps the edge distracting from the clean lines of the belt Minor preference Quote
Members Killerkaney Posted February 9, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 9, 2013 Jrharres I think it's stronger stitching the keeper although i can give you no evidence to prove it and looks much better, kind of more organic. Wscott the overstitch on the edge gives more strength on top of the two double stitches at each end to hopefully ensure the belt will last a lifetime. The stitching should look better in a few days when the stitch holes have tightened up a bit. Thanks for the comments :-) Quote
Members WScott Posted February 10, 2013 Members Report Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I forgot to mention your edging looks very professional...nice smooth,clean edges Oh, and good dimension on the keeper...it is easy to get it too fat or too skinny so it can look weird Edited February 10, 2013 by WScott Quote
Dangerous Beans Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Contemporary yet traditional, a fine piece of craftsmanship, one to look out for I think. Quote
