Members Gabriel Rasa Posted July 31, 2018 Members Report Posted July 31, 2018 I am not even new to belt-making, and this still had some useful tips, so thank you kindly for sharing it. Re: the issue of expecting customers to provide proper sizing -- I haven't had a problem with it since I started saying in the listings, "Be accurate, not optimistic; there is a $[whatever] resizing fee if the item needs to be replaced."

DarkGoku Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Thank you, this helps a lot now that I find myself wanting to make more belts. Great work on the pdf.

Members PappysLeather Posted July 19, 2019 Members Report Posted July 19, 2019 I followed your instructions on three different belts and they all were too short. What did I do wrong? Quote

Did you use an existing belt to get the length to the centre hole measured from the tang tip for the buckle? Tom Quote

Members PappysLeather Posted July 23, 2019 Members Report Posted July 23, 2019 Joni did not measure the old belt. They're Christmas presents for my three boys Quote
