Chief31794 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 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. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Halitech Posted June 19, 2015 Members Report Posted June 19, 2015 Great work as usual Chief Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members paprhangr Posted June 19, 2015 Members Report Posted June 19, 2015 like the finish. on that style buckle, how do you measure for a customer fit? Quote

Chief31794 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 Great work as usual Chief Thank you sir, like the finish. on that style buckle, how do you measure for a customer fit? 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. You still got that special touch Chief, Lookin good ! Wild Bill46 Thanks Bill. Yep I like it! Nice work! Eddie Thanks Eddie.

Members Rohn Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 That is a beauty Chief. Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Members DoubleC Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 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 Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Chief31794 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Posted June 20, 2015 That is a beauty Chief. Thanks Rohn. 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. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members DoubleC Posted June 20, 2015 Members Report Posted June 20, 2015 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.
