bikermutt07 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Posted May 16, 2016 I like it. Quote 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. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members grommit Posted May 17, 2016 Author Members Report Posted May 17, 2016 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. ATB Bri Quote
Members plinkercases Posted May 17, 2016 Members Report Posted May 17, 2016 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 Quote "Oh my God....I beseech thee grant me the grace to remain in Thy Presence; and to this end do Thou prosper me with Thy assistance, receive all my works, and possess all my affections" Brother Lawrence c.1614-1691 plinkercases.ca
Members grommit Posted May 18, 2016 Author Members Report Posted May 18, 2016 Hi all, thank you for the advice. I don't have diamond awl, so guess what I need to perchase! a great explanation I'm really happy. thank you ATB Bri Quote
