Horsewhishper Report post Posted August 29, 2018 Hey fellas I need some help, I have made alot of belts but never any with Sheridan style carvings on them, so my qouistion is I am trying to hand draw my own design but am unsure whether to make a small design on paper and reapeat it or make a paper blank of the whole belt and make my design on that. Also how do you draw desighns that would look good on the minimal width of a belt . Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 I don't have much to offer, but in Stohlman's belt book he has them drawn about 10-12 inches long. If memory serves me correctly. I don't do any tooling myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockoboy Report post Posted August 29, 2018 I think @bikermutt07 has got it right. Even craftaids are only about 8 or 10inches long, and made to repeat over and over. So draw your designs with ends that meet up nicely, so you can get the design to run as far as you want, without drawing out the design for the entire belt length.
