verus22 Report post Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Getting some practice in with a 'manager's special' belt blank from Tandy. This is the first full-size belt I've completed. Dye is Fiebing's 'Saddle Tan', stitching is Tiger Thread, "Havana", 1.0 mil, 7 spi, saddle stitch w/overhand knots on each crossover. Made plenty of small mistakes, but learning fast! (constructive criticism is always welcome!!) Edited April 4, 2015 by verus22 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you using a pricking iron? or just punching the holes one by one with a diamond awl? I am impressed!!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
verus22 Report post Posted April 7, 2015 Thank you to everyone for your kind comments!! I use a japanese stitching iron (like a pricking iron, but designed to go all the way through the leather), and occasionally need to use the diamond awl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lel Report post Posted April 9, 2015 Nice stitching - very clean and consistent. Brass hardware and "saddle tan" leather look good together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
