I wish i could find a buckle like that. That lasts that is.

I wouldn't buy that buckle...  Ive had a look around for really nice good quality ( you know... something special! ) buckles, I can't seem to find them anywhere? Theres some in china but who knows if the quality is any good...

Thanks, I recently bought the Wuta 3.8mm chisels... I think the holes are too close for the belt ( I think more like the 4mm would be better ) I have to get other sizes in the future. Im thinking of a stitching wheel with different sizes would work better for me and punch through with a good awl? I have the Wuta 2 and 8 prong but the 8 prong won't go through the leather fully. Maybe it needs sharpening?

Thanks

Very clean looking! Is it two pieces stitched together? What weight/brand is the leather? I can see a lot of time put into those edges. Keep it up!

Thanks Ryan,

I split 4mm veg tan down to 2mm and glued them back to back, got the hide from a local guy ( don’t know where it came from but look good ) stitching took me about 4 hours ( have to speed up! ) edges were easy using UK Saddlery’s advice (Tallow).

Ok. Thanks. 4 hours? Did you hand stitch the whole belt??
