Tugadude Report post Posted November 10, 2015 I see the pricking wheel so I presume you used an awl? Nice looking work, color is excellent as is the stitching. What led to your decision to not continue the padding all the way down the strap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What led to your decision to not continue the padding all the way down the strap? Thanks Tugadude, I end the padding at that point, before the holes, as it will be too bulky going through the buckle. Most padded watch bands are made this way, in my experience. nice! Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefanninator Report post Posted November 12, 2015 Nice work. I just did a couple straps but they weren't padded. I think the only thing I'd change would be to start the taper of the padding sooner and have it taper out when it gets to the holes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
