Just saying.... @hwinbermuda, here are some more pictures to clarify what I am doing with the full sides. Edited February 19, 2019 by bikermutt07 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.

Members GMHLeather Posted May 30, 2019 Members Report Posted May 30, 2019 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. Quote
Mark842 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 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? Quote

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.
