The holes are as nice as I have ever seen. How do you get such a clean hole? Those are really high end belts you bought somewhere, right?:)

Awsome looking belts. How do you do your burnish edge. It is very well done.

I did some research on the needle tip and found Campbell - Bosworth has a chart which explains the various needle tips. Yours are LR which is an angled tip giving the look of an awl hole.

Here is the link to the needle info : http://www.campbell-bosworth.com/supply/needles.html

Great work

Please forgive me for any delayed responses. I'm currently on the other side of the world kicking sand.

Red Cent, thank you for the compliment. I dampen the area to be punched then I smack my oval punch with a dead blow hammer.

Toolster, thanks for the compliment. I use a Cobra class 4 with 207 top n bottom. On one of the previous pages I have a photo of the needles used if you need that.

Ran, thanks for the compliment.

Mccottie, thanks for the compliment and info on the needles. I was experimenting with my burnishing at the time. The old tried and true method I use is Bob Park's method. I had just received a wood burnisher for my drill press and I probably used that some too. I prefer Bob Parks method, but is more time consuming.

Trevor, thanks for the compliment. I do use a light box. For the life of me I can't remember the brand though. But its one that's made of vinyl and collapses into a nice little round carry bad. I also have side lamps and an over head lamp. I use a Canon G 12 camera on a tripod. If I was home I'd be able to give you more info.

Very nice looking belt. Question, is that a modified number five buckle?
