The guy I do the leatherwork has someone cast the plates, not sure of the company name. He then dyes the belts hand paints the plates and puts the whole thing together. 4 hours ago, tomsmith85717 said: I dont know why I never thought that someone has to make those kinds of things.

BeltFanDan Report post Posted March 22, 2018 Plates are zinc that are acid etched using photonegatives. Cast plates haven't been used in a long time. Too heavy and they crack easily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too heavy and they crack easily. I stand corrected! I don't have much to do with that part of the business. I just tool leather. They leave my shop looking like the one on the top. And then after Andrew is done they look like the one on the bottom. Edited March 22, 2018 by JRLeather2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems the secret got out and you are blowing up! Thanks. I don't know how or why the word got out but it has been blowing up. Yeah I have been doing the belt thing since September of 2013.
