Members verus22 Posted April 26, 2015 Members Report Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Still have a couple bugs to work out, but it's getting closer to what I envisioned. (My Dad wants a belt like this, so I'm working on the design/technique. Hope to have it down by Christmas!)

Members JAZZMAN Posted April 26, 2015 Members Report Posted April 26, 2015 Hey verus this is truly beautiful work, it turns an ordinary belt into something truly special, how did you mark it out and draw the design please? Is the belt lined, can we have a pic of the back please? Quote
Members verus22 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) It's not lined...and it's not quite a full belt either. lol Just a strip from a belt blank I picked up at Tandy. The design was done with a set of compass dividers and a straight edge, and layed out using the golden mean as a reference. I just did this for the practice, but everything was done by hand.

Members Tugadude Posted April 26, 2015 Members Report Posted April 26, 2015 You have it down! Nice job. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted April 26, 2015 Members Report Posted April 26, 2015 BTW, you could still make a full belt with that "sample". Just takes a little creativity. Quote
