Members SunLynx Posted April 13, 2017 Members Report Posted April 13, 2017 Finally did something I don't think I'll be laughed off the forum for if I share a pic. I'm completely self taught, as a leatherworker, pattern designer/maker and Illustrator user (for reprintable patterns.) 2/3oz leather and Tandy dyes. Intentional splotchiness for visual appeal, but the whole dye job would have been quicker, easier and very different in appearance if I had access to de-glazer. (Live in California, where all the best things are banned.) Quote
Members Wulfing Posted April 14, 2017 Members Report Posted April 14, 2017 Nice. Green n black make a good contrast with leather. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted April 15, 2017 Members Report Posted April 15, 2017 I dig it, it looks really nice. Quote
Members SouthernCross Posted May 3, 2017 Members Report Posted May 3, 2017 Nice. Can you tell more about how it's put together, please? How is the buckle fastened to it, how did you make the loops for the posts, etc.,? Quote

Members SunLynx Posted August 2, 2017 Author Members Report Posted August 2, 2017 I didn't want to go over a file size limit, so I wrote a Word doc and converted to PDF. Hope that's okay. Let me know if you have any more questions. Build a Watch Band.pdf Quote
Members SunLynx Posted August 2, 2017 Author Members Report Posted August 2, 2017 PS, this is not to say that what I did was the best or only way, just the solution I've come up with learning on my own. I would check with others, I probably made a bunch of mistakes. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted August 2, 2017 Members Report Posted August 2, 2017 SunLynx, I'm sure your .pdf will help a lot of folks. There are lots of ways to do things. This way works for you and is what is important. I do wonder if relying solely on glue will work. I tried it on a bracelet once and got separation over time. I now stitch everything that is layered after gluing or using double-stick tape. Quote
Members SouthernCross Posted August 2, 2017 Members Report Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks a bunch, SunLynx. I'm going to try making one myself, as I have a very small wrist and am always searching for bands for my watches. BTW, where do you get your buckles? Quote
