Rolandranch Report post Posted April 6, 2018 Here's a belt I just finished for my uncle. Nothin' fancy. The leather is 9oz and it is not lined so the stitching is decorative (yes, it's machine stitched). I thought the oval holes were a bit too big and setting the rivets left a few marks but other than that I think it's ok. He pretty much wanted a heavy duty strap of leather to hold his pants up so hopefully it will meet his expectations. Comments/critique are always welcome. Thanks for looking! -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingsCountyLeather Report post Posted April 6, 2018 Your leather skills are developing brilliantly. You’ve really mastered that sewing machine, your stitches look really good! Have you setup a online shop yet? I think you should think about it. Keep up the good work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just take away his video games and TV and replace them with leather tools. -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plinkercases Report post Posted April 7, 2018 Roland sometimes you can dampen the leather and use modelling tool to remove the setting marks... And nothing wrong with a thick old strap around the waist ...better than across the back side! More fine work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My cousins are gonna hate me for making their dad a heavy duty weapon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
