Members Horsewhishper Posted August 29, 2018 Members Report 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
bikermutt07 Posted August 29, 2018 Report 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 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.
Rockoboy Posted August 29, 2018 Report 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.
