A couple of new belts off the bench this morning at Diamond K leather.

Very cool. Them just one layer of leather or two? Machine stitched?

One layer of 9-10 oz. machine stitched.

Nice. I was going to say, kinda a waste to stitch one layer by hand for decoration haha. A machine tho, makes it worth it. Looks good

Thanks. I just got the machine. Stitched both belts in less than 15 minutes.  Hand saver for sure

[Stetson912]

Go ahead, rub it in... haha

One day I hope to get one myself. I know absolutely nothing about machines haha. But, it makes things faster for sure. If I did this more large scale I'd definitely get one. But for now I just do enough to satisfy my creative side haha

I'm with Stetson912.  at first i was gonna say, why would you stitch with no backing, but it does look very nice and wouldnt look nearly as pro without the stitching.  and I am also in the same boat regarding owning a machine.  but your whole set up looks pro. nice job.

dam nice belts, as to the stitching it finishes them off, I don't think the stitching is wasted,  to get better and quicker one must keep doing it.  It elevates the belts right up there, well done
