Members tardis86 Posted January 22, 2016 Members Report Posted January 22, 2016 to those who make gun belts for everyday carry and such... do you punch oval holes for the belt adjustment holes or not? and if you do, where did you get the punch? all i see are circular ones. Quote

Members tardis86 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2016 does everyone stitch the edges of the gun belts they make? I can see that taking a looong time by hand. Quote
Members Dwight Posted January 23, 2016 Members Report Posted January 23, 2016 Because I only make double layer gunbelts, . . . yes they are contact cemented together, . . . but they are also sewn ALL THE WAY AROUND. With my sewing machine, . . . it runs between 10 and 20 minutes per belt. But it is totally worth it. I know a fellow who used to do them by hand, . . . he started on one end, . . . his wife on the other end, . . . usually took them an evening of watching TV together, . . . but they enjoyed it, . . . made a few bucks, . . . win / win situation.

Members tardis86 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2016 well springfield leather claims their belts should work well as gun belts.. as in these ones.. http://springfieldleather.com/18888/Belt-Blank%2CSnaps%2C1-1-2%22x48-52%22/ i thought i would try a few of those before attempting to make my own from scratch. id rather not stitch an entire belt by hand if i don't have to Quote
ChriJ Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 After stitching the first or second one you would probably be pretty good at stitching! Chris Quote
