Members Dwight Posted October 4, 2013 Members Report Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) If you want to start out with an easier one, . . . take a look at this Clint Eastwood takeoff I did some time back. The belt is especially simple to do, . . . makes a good first time cartridge belt, . . . gives you experience, . . . without a lot of hassle. The belt is full width, 2 1/2 inches . . . but when you get to the tongue and buckle, . . . you cut the edges down, . . . use a 1 1/2 inch buckle.

Members LeatheryPalm Posted September 9, 2018 Members Report Posted September 9, 2018 I want to build a money belt style cartridge belt. I'm thinking 25 loops for 45 Colt and 6-8 loops for shotshells. Is that being too ambitious? I can compromise on the number of loops but the money belt style is part of the persona I'm trying to build. I've built a couple cartridge belts and holsters before but this would be another level comparatively speaking and I'd rather pick a few brains from some older, more experienced makers before I get down to it. Firstly, has anyone here used the Old West Collection cartridge belt pattern pack by Will Ghormly? That's what I have and plan to use but some of his instructions aren't exactly clear. I was hoping someone could clarify something. Secondly, I'm wanting the inside of the money belt to be able to hold coins up to the size of a Silver Dollar. I'm not the best at math so how wide a strap would I need to accommodate such a coin? Quote
Members Dwight Posted September 10, 2018 Members Report Posted September 10, 2018 This is a picture of my money belt, . . . this one is a rough out leather belt, . . . since it is not curved to help keep it up, . . . the rough out takes over that job a bit. It is all one piece for the belt itself, . . . only sewn at the top, . . . and should easily hold silver dollar size coins. The buckle end has the usual treatment on the one end of it, . . . the other end goes down thru a 2 inch slot in the top and the bottom sections of the belt, . . . goes back under the belt and is fastened with the two snaps you see. Unless you have a pretty good size waist, . . . that many cartridges may get bunched quite a bit, . . . I'd probably do a shotshell slide if I wanted to take them with me for some reason. This makes a pretty belt, as well as a practical belt. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members Dwight Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 That's Feibings British Tan, . . . probably my most used color. I cut it 1 to 1 with Feibings thinner and dip dye all my projects. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.
