Members chrisash Posted January 23, 2019 Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 I have dyed the leather first and then cut out , thinking that would make allowance for any shrinking so only have to cut once, but must admit i have not noticed much shrinkage if any on the little amount i have done Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
bikermutt07 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Posted January 23, 2019 They all have a little extra on them. 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.

I inspired you @bikermutt07? That's pretty cool since I've just started. I like the concept of batch work also. Repetition definitely helps to work out the bugs and also the learning process. Quote

I believe you push this idea because it is a great idea, and you are one of the good folk on this website/blog who likes to see people do well. You are quite often an inspiration to me.

Yep, my boss's son (future heir to the empire) is going on a paid trade show trip. He will bring going to Mexico down on the Yucatan peninsula. His woman won't leave the country and he is really not liking the of leaving the country. He's never been out of the country before and is trying to keep his cool about it. So, when I saw your post I thought it would be nice if he had a little bit of purple and gold in his pocket. He is a big LSU fan and purple and gold pretty much sums up Louisiana.

Members VYO Posted January 26, 2019 Members Report Posted January 26, 2019 After creating a pattern and a prototype, I also do batchwork. It does make things go faster when you need to make more than one of something.
