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.

This is awesome, but space prevents having one for now...:unsure: so for now, a long straight edge and an expandable table makes it work

I've been trying so hard to figure this out and I had an idea like this but was not inspired to try it.  You gave me the inspiration.  Thank you.

Good to see this post up revived again. It was a head slapper for me and I did steal the idea from Rocky. Makes it so much easier. I must say though, I thought I did a lot of straps running 2-3 hides a week thru my strap cutter. Holy Mackerel  Rocky! How many straps you going through?

No they are not all mine. I normally cut these and split them for a customer who goes through a fair bit more than me. These hundred normally turn into around 1200+ 1 1/2" strips and that comes through generally every 2 to 3 months as a rule. Believe it or not they are for my biggest competitor in the hornback belt sector but they cant figger out how to use their splitter and I suspect they could not do them as cheap or quick as I do for them.:dunno:
