Chief31794 Report post Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I constantly forget things in the shop. You'd think that sooner or later I'd get smart, so I did, I occasionally forget to make and dye the belt loop (keeper) when I'm making a belt, then I have to go back and dye it separately. Pretty annoying, so I devised a method to remind me and posted this over my dye table. Now I just hope I don't forget to read the sign!!! oh well.

WyomingSlick Report post Posted February 5, 2014 Another answer would be when you skive the end of the buckle end, make the belt 3 inches longer and skive the end that extra three inches in addition to the buckle fold area. This would be particularly nice if you tool the keeper(s) to match the belt as the keeper will tool and dye identical to the rest of the belt. Then when you are ready to burnish your edges, all you have to do it cut the keepers free and burnish them with the belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spence Report post Posted February 5, 2014 Chief, I've got signs all over my shop. I just can't remember what they refer to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
