That's some beautiful work Josh!  I have been sewing individual cartridge loops but I think on my next cartridge holder I will try the slotted version - looks like it will be a bit easier!

Thanks Gary! I've tried sewing them and running them through 2 slots as well as running them through 1 slot (like this rig) and while they are all OK the 1 slot method is my favorite so far. Works for everything from .22 to .45 as far as I'm concerned. 

All the best, Josh

I remember Dwight posted a tutorial on using this method.  I am getting ready to make some shotgun shell belt slides and I will definitely look it up and try this method on the first one.

You do some very nice work it something to aspire to!  It is something I feel I really suck at so I don't do much of it, I think I need to go back and retry, but yours is excellent!

That is awesome.

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.

That is a fine rig! Love the color.

So much leather...so little time.

I remember that tutorial as well, I'm sure it'll get you started off fine! Good luck with your project!

Thanks OldNSlow! I'm not near as good as I'd like to be at carving, but it's fun to mess around with. All the best!

Thanks! I think the black antique turns out nice on carved leather too! All the best!

We are not worthy...we are not worthy! Seriously, though...heirloom work, Josh...as is your way.

Have a great day!
