Members Rolandranch Posted April 6, 2018 Members Report 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
Members KingsCountyLeather Posted April 6, 2018 Members Report 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

Hopefully, I will have a website soon. I'll put the link on my status when I do. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 Great job again, Roland. I hope my little boy takes a liking to leather. He's only 5 right now. Quote 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.

Members plinkercases Posted April 7, 2018 Members Report 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.

My cousins are gonna hate me for making their dad a heavy duty weapon. Quote
