bikermutt07 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Posted November 9, 2017 Hey guys I remember people asking for a better source for this part. This one looks well built. Enjoy http://www.leevalley.com/us/hardware/page.aspx?p=72944&cat=3,48759&ap=1 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 Instinctive Posted December 24, 2017 Members Report Posted December 24, 2017 I can tell you from personal experience, the Lee Valley hardware is very, very good. You need 1-1/4" legs. I have a digital pattern sorted out for the seat and leg length/hole drilling dimensions if any one needs it.

Members ChasCS Posted December 24, 2017 Members Report Posted December 24, 2017 Lee Valley, yup. Hahaha Probably is one of my favorite wood workers stores in the Alberta capital city. But they carry a marvelous gardening section as well. ;-) They certainly deal in high quality merchandise. Mr.Lee was a wise thinker. Too bad we lost him, so sad.... Chas Quote
