Between your work and the other championship belt guy on here, I had no idea there was even a market for these. Your work looks really nice Jeff, I hope you didn't think I was baggin' on you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Apparently, a bunch of belt people stalk me on FB, so when I liked your page, people checked it out. Your videos are also helping get tons of new followers.
