Members CTaylorJr Posted May 26, 2014 Members Report Posted May 26, 2014 I'd say you hit it spot on! Great replication and the stitching looks very good. When full of shells, how much does this belt weigh? Quote Charlie
Members Handstitched Posted May 30, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 30, 2014 G'day Once again, I'll ask my brothers friend to take a pic of him wearing it. And to be honest, I have no idea how much it weighed, but it certainly had a bit of weight to it. Perhaps anyone that goes shooting using a 12g shot gun may have a rough idea of how much a full box of shells weigh + the leather. I'll have to find out. If I remember to do so, I'll also take a pic of what I use to do all my handstitching. Thank you once again for the feedback, its very encouraging HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members Treed Posted May 30, 2014 Members Report Posted May 30, 2014 Great job.....love the hand stitching. I love recreating works of art from the past. The only thing that I notice is the strip that you have at the top to keep shell in is actually a strip that is under the shells to keep them up so that it is easier to get ahold of the shell for removal.... look at the last picture of the original belt with shells in it. Just turn the belt over. Great Job love it Quote Bobby Rose Rock'n R custom holsters
Members Handstitched Posted August 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 24, 2014 G'day fellow creatives, , Anyone remember that custom cartridge belt I made?? Well well well, at my local country show , that was only just yesterday (23-8) , that belt won me a 1st and a blue ribbon !! "Most Outstanding Exhibit" Woo Hoo !! And indeed, the owner is VERY pleased. He probably won't want to use it now . Perhaps I should have charged him double eh?........now. All the best, HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
