I like it.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Thank so much,

its a challenge.

but I'm finding the back of the stitching is poor whilst the inside is ok...I'll get there.

I really like the look of this. Thanks. And if you were serious about doing this with one hand then you should be very proud of the results. And if you weren't.. you should still be proud.

My only comment about the stitching is that in one close up it appears you may have the angle of your awl wrong in relative to the stitch line. It look perpendicular rather than the "diamond" lines being parallel. See below from Al Stohlman's explanation: If this is the case a correction will help your stitches lay in nicely

I don't have diamond awl, so guess what I need to perchase!
