Interesting idea. I'll have to check into a small oval punch.

Yeah - I'd though of that. I've got a strap cutter, but it's a pretty good challenge to keep the width consistent for the lenght of a belt (roughly 60")... and I found a pretty good deal on 1 1/2" belt blanks.

Thanks. I'm not really doing anything different that what I do on the holsters - hopefully the pictures aren't implying something that's not there.

I really need a carry belt. To this day I have never bought myself a nice thick leather belt made to carry with and obviously this causes annoying issues all the time.

I would love to take that first attempt 1"er off your hands instead of it seeing the trash bin but I see how the thickness and stiffness of keeping the double layering at the tail can be a pain to buckle and tuck the tail into the keeper.


Once your ready I will be one of the first to place an order for a belt. Excellent looking and it looks like your heading in the right direction.
Keep it up I REALLY need a good belt .

Excellent work as usual.

This is going to be a great belt. Look forward to seeing it once she is done!

Well, I am no leather wizard, so excuse the idea if it's stoopid.......How about a little thinner strips of leather with a layer of kydex in the middle? That way you could end the kydex before the end that doesn't want to fit through the buckle.




Yes, I spelled "stupid" wrong.......it's a JOKE!

I've thought about trying some sort of stiffener between the layers - I might look into it. It'd make the cost go up quite a bit, tho...

I vote for the oval holes. The one I'm wearing now has oval and I like 'em.

NormanXDm;

We've been handcrafting gun belts for a number of years now, and if we can give you any pointers or suggestions, just let us know. We would be more than happy to help.

By the way, your belt looks pretty good.
