Members ByNelson Posted April 29, 2017 Members Report Posted April 29, 2017 So my father in law needed a new belt for an upcoming celebration, I did my best and followed the edges guide from Bob Park, and I must say ..it is worth it... I love the way it looks and feels, so glad I found it... Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted April 29, 2017 Members Report Posted April 29, 2017 Looks good. Did you finish the keeper edges? It's hard for me to tell. I have to make one up here soon myself for my father in law. He's been using the same belt for the last million years and it's cracked and needs replaced. I really like that you stitched the buckle and keeper in too Quote

I really like that you stitched the buckle and keeper in too Yes all edges was done both the keepers and the sides. I like to stitch them, so everything is firm in place I do sometimes use copper rivets and that sort of thing, but the stitches just look so nice .. looking forward to see what you come up with Quote

I have nothing against rivets or Chicago screws though. Just prefer stitching on that kind of belt. Quote
Members Sceaden Posted April 29, 2017 Members Report Posted April 29, 2017 Very nice work! I wouldn't mind a closer shot of just the edges. Quote

Members Basically Bob Posted May 7, 2017 Members Report Posted May 7, 2017 Good job! The edges really did turn out nice and the stitching looks good too! Stitching that buckle on, the traditional way and finishing the edges like you did, demonstrates your desire to produce work with a focus on hand-made craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing! Quote

Thanks Bob, means a lot And I must say I love "old school" just a shame I don't know any "old master" who could guide me, I would love that... But I try my best.... working on a bag right now, and for the first time ever I'm only using a pricking wheel and an awl, and I just love it, gives me a freedom with the project I haven't had before Quote
Members Bonecross Posted May 11, 2017 Members Report Posted May 11, 2017 I'd be proud to wear such a finely crafted belt! Quote
