Double Layer Musician's Belt

[Chief31794]

Made from Hermann Oak, 6/7 oz top and 3/4 oz bottom layers. Musicians like these since they wont leave buckle scars on the backs of their instruments.

Thank you sir,

Thanks, I measure from the tang on the buckle (that's what I call it, it's the part that goes in the hole on the other end of the belt) to the center hole. Believe it or not it is very close to the same as a normal 1-1/2" buckle.

Thanks Bill.

Chief that is beautiful. I can't quite wrap my had around how it's made. You use a regular buckle blank and then put the two layers on it, with the braid? An envelope so to speak with the metal completely sandwiched between the leather? Thanks, Cheryl

Cheryl, that is exactly how it's done. You can get the blanks and precut leather pieces from Tandy, SLC, etc. Or you can get the blanks and cut your own Leather. This picture shows more detail of the back so you can see how it's done a little better.

Thanks Chief. I've had the blanks before to use for hair barrettes LOL and still have the bottoms. But I thought they went inside the buckle. I then I lookeed at one I made years ago and the leather fully covered the buckle. I will have to try one of these while I still have some roo left, LOL.

Does it make the owner play better? If so, I am going to have to make two or three for myself! Nice work Chief.
