Just the stitching was the 4-5 hours. I did the stamping on the belt blank first, then it sat for months before I glued the second layer on , stitched, dyed, punched holes, & finished. The second part of the process was about a week of working on it every so often. The stitching was a single marathon on a Saturday. Let's do the math... 1 day to dye and dry, 1 day to glue and dry. That leaves 3 days to edge, burnish, punch, and stitch. On an average day, I can get 2-3 hours in, before my shoulder starts screaming. So, I guess maybe 4-6 hours to stitch? That would include the time to re-thread the needles, find the needles after they have slipped off the thread, replace the needles after breaking the eye off, putting in another movie... all the things associated with hand sewing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
