New Belt On My Cb 3200

[74inchshovel]

Very nice! I love clean well crafted items and this sure fits the bill. Might I ask one thing though? Where did you get the black thread? Seems the only black I can find is not compatible with my boss. Again, nice job.

This thread is brown, however, I buy thread from "The Thread Exchange", this is 277 and is the same thread I used on my Boss as well. I have Black and it works really well on both as well.

Thanks,

I've always liked that technique as well.

I believe someone said that Tandy has a book that has it as well, I'll look around and let you know.

Any idea which book has this technique in it? I've looked through the ones I have and cannot find it...

Great pattern Chief... excellent execution.

Is your buckle stainless and, if so, where did you source it?

I have no idea, I've been doing it for decades, it's quite simple. Maybe I'll put a video of the technique out on You Tube, I'll post a link out here when i do, probably be a week or so, I'm backed up in the shop.

Thank you, the buckle is not stainless, it is actually a Tandy buckle, I don't buy a lot from Tandy but some of their buckles, even though made in China are really quite good. This is a buckle I keep in stock, it is Tandy # 1550-02, the 1550-01 is brass and the -02 is nickel covered brass. I've used them for years, they give good service, look good and don't cost much. I offer belts with high end buckles but most people like these.

Oh, ok. You'd just said before that someone said it was in one of Tandy's books and that you were going to look around for it. I was just hoping you were able to locate what book it was in.

I tried it the way you described with my basketweave tool and the pattern doesn't really come out looking quite the same...not as deeply embossed I guess.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

I looked and couldn't find it, it may have even come out as a technique in a magazine or something over the years, can't remember that or a lot of other things anymore, I'll definitely do a video, it's pretty easy to do, the only tricky part is getting it started but once you see how that's done, it is simple. I'll be back in the shop monday and have some orders backed up but I'll try to do a video early next week. Sorry for the confusion.
